dont ever post again.

Why are you doing this? If your are not going to be serious you should delete all the puzzles you have posted and find someplace else to spend your time.

This is a poor little girl's best efforts and you have probably scarred her for life now.
Shame on you two!
:-)

No, I agree. These days, with all the timeouts, it´s getting very difficult to reach a puzzle to solve. So it made me very angry to find THIS.

I agree ... please don't waste the bandwidth

Thankfully Jan coded the H and V keys for fast filling!

Fortunately, I only wasted about 15 seconds on this. I've wasted way more on worse endeavours.

Are you going through the puzzles with the lowest ratings? I'm seeing a lot of crap lately. :)

It would be nice if the judges could delete inane nonsense like this.

I, for one, would not want that privilege (or duty). I would not want to have to try to figure out where the line between a wot and a simple puzzle is. I certainly would not want to try to omnisciently know whether a puzzle was a troll's bait or a proud creation of a young or simple mind.

You certainly have a point, Joe about not wanting to discourage serious new creators, but there are puzzles that leave not the slightest doubt whatsoever that whoever did them is just messing around and in no way is trying to create anything. And, in fact more or less say so with a taunting insult for the description.

Getting started on the slippery slope of deleting puzzles for being too simple will bring more demands for even more being deleted. If just being too simple is a criterion for deletion, why not objectionable content? And then who defines "objectionable"?

This site already has a method built in for people who want to avoid poor puzzles - user ratings. If you do not wish to see puzzles that others do not like, don't pick puzzles that others have rated lowly.

Joe, you have a strong tendency to pretty much over-think and over-complicate things. We're not talking about making an amendment to the constitution here. Nothing was said about deleting seriously made simple puzzles thereby creating a domino effect of mindless elimination. I am all for encouraging serious beginners to keep trying and have done so on many occasions. It was really wishful thinking on my part that we could eliminate the obvious junk. The ones where it is ABSOLUTELY OBVIOUS that no puzzle whatsoever was intended.

Kristen: I was actually looking through users who only posted one puzzle. This was one of them. It seems the user took the advice in #1 - or simply hasn't returned.

Speaking of the one-puzzle-wonders, there are some big ones that are actually quite decent, and perhaps even exceptional. The largest ones I have to make exports of to other programs so that I can actually print them; they don't fit the normal paper size.

Oh, I see. I had seen other puzzles from Angie Heath. I just did a Users search for "bewildering" and found three userid's for Angie Heath and one for Droov Patel.
Curiouser and curiouser.

Maybe it'S Thomas.:) He once admitted he wasn't using his real name. :)
