Puzzles without any white in them at all aren't puzzles. Filling it in is just an exercise in counting. No logic required.

Should I ban such puzzles?

I don't think they need to be banned; but they should be marked "easy".

Marked easy and film plots reproduced as fact should be discouraged!

I think I believe in banning puzzles for being offensive. As long as the title gives the solver a reasonable warning of what they are getting into, I'm OK with most anything. I think this puzzle's title is a clear enough hint.

If the significance of the symbol is inaccurately described, then I think posting a message explaining the correct significance is a better response than deleting the puzzle.

My biggest problem with the puzzle is that it isn't a puzzle. I'm still on the fence about whether or not to ban puzzles on that basis.

I mean "I don't think I believe in banning puzzles for being offensive". I need to put something here to let me fix typos.

These puzzles need white space to be puzzles at all. I dread the ones that have no white and the only reason I do them is because I'm working my way through all the puzzles on the site.

I liked it. It's fun to have an easier puzzle now and then

I did the puzzle, but didn't care for it. I am a Christian, so this was really creepy for me. BUT...Greater is He that is in me, than he who is in the world.
