i think that there is kinda obvious when someone do a puzzle so yeah, puzzle category should not be there

Thank god this isn't a puzzle.

Maybe we can put a sticky in the puzzle section to let everybody, who is interested in puzzles, know that some puzzles are in the off-topic too.
So no one would complain/hint because puzzle guys would understand and the "stfu kiddies" wouldnt know its a puzzle. And after your puzzle expired, just move it here for archivation.

I don't reason with potatoes like you.

i like potatoes!

I actually find it kinda puzzle-killer-ish. And I will make puzzles in unrelated categories. Just sayin.

I agree, they shouldn't have a puzzle section. But one problem I personally have with that, is that people will no longer be willing to say things like what the game is in the end or what level the giveaway is, because that would give up that there is in fact a puzzle. I hate putting a bunch of work into a puzzle just to find out it is lvl 3 (which I haven't gotten to, YET) or that it is a game that I already have. But still, I'd be willing to get rid of the puzzle section despite this. I know that when I make a puzzle it will likely be hidden in a comment, or an off-topic post or something.

I like the puzzle category. There are many puzzles that do not try to hide what they are and this makes them easier to find.
If you don''t want people to know a thread is actually a puzzle you can just choose another category. I choose to believe that the people that are smart enough to understand that it is a puzzle and not a random useless thread would also be smart enough to understand why you chose off-topic instead of puzzle as the category.

The puzzle category is for those postings which are straight-up puzzles.

I don't see any problem, here. Hidden puzzles should be posted in the category which fits their "apparent" topic. If you posted a hidden puzzle in the puzzle section, that would be a free hint.

I can never find these hidden puzzles anyway so, banana dude, banana

On the old forums I remember people posting threads with [Puzzle] tag, so the category is fine for me. If you want to make hidden puzzles then just make hidden puzzles lol. But remember to create threads that actually make sense.

Random Question: Where's the puzzle?

I think the puzzle category can stay for the "in your face" puzzles. So you can just enter the thread and click the link (or read the "not a link but still obvious" puzzle).
And the "ninja" hidden puzzles can stay in the off-topic (or embedded in an actual thread) for the true "detectives".
What's wrong with the simple "PEGI 12+" puzzles? Nothing. They can be fun and there are people who are not good with harder ones.
What's wrong with puzzles more difficult (even to find them)? Nothing. They can be fun and there are people who want to test themselves.
I think we can have puzzles for everyone. I think it's better than to rule out a kind of puzzle and say "Only THIS kind of puzzle is acceptable!"
My thoughts on the matter.

Is it bad that even the super easy ItsTooHard puzzle is too hard for me?

Literally one question. It's so vague to me that I can't guess it, though.

OP is a potato...thats all :)

Bump for solved.
Un-bump for making it a lvl2.
What you gonna do now, huh?
