Rätselportal <-> Sudokuportal

[Joe Average]

Personally, the recent flood of (mainly) sudokus and puzzles brings me mixed emotions.

Many players that seem active on the Cracking The Cryptic platform have found their way to the German portal; those new authors are posting their puzzles here and there is really interesting stuff inbetween.

So that's where are the new authors are coming from. Question: Are most of the newly added puzzles all original, or are they re-releases from something that was previously published on that platform before? If it's the later, then I'd say there should be a limit to maybe just publish a few really good ones in the portal and add a link to the author's other/similar work on that platform. 

Most of the new authors probably didn't sign up to the forum, so they might now even see this topic and realize that there''s some growing concern. Now, I don't know if the "problem" has yet reached the point where it needs to be adressed by some change of the site programming. Most of these new authors seem very excited, and I wouldn't want to disrupt that.... neither by some forced limitations, nor by nobody solving their puzzles and giving them proper feedback. 

How about we apply reason instead? A disclaimer message that appears on the front page (and maybe also on the page where one enters a new puzzle) that explains just what we have been talking about here. Something like: 
"Dear authors, 
thank you for all your contributions. As exciting as it it may be to have some of your work published, we'd like you to consider a few things before you release your puzzles: 
- Try to follow how many other new puzzles are being published and pace yourself. If you want people to give you feedback on your hard work, then make sure they have enough time to solve your (and others') newly released material. It'd be a shame if your puzzle would simply be overlooked.
- This is a mixed site for all kinds of logical puzzles, not just Sudoku. Keep it balanced and maybe hold back on your Sudoku release until something different has been published in between. 
- Take your time to check and double-check, or even ask someone to test-solve it for you. Nothing is more annoying than having to fix a broken puzzle, or having to take it down entirely."

Maybe such a message is all that's needed and the new authors (at least some of them) will slow down on their own, without "official" interference.
