Rätselportal <-> Sudokuportal

[pwahs]

If we are about to devise restrictions of some sort to the use of the Puzzle Porital, I suggest that we prioritise its goals first. I am under the impression that the conflict mainly lies between the second and the third item on the list. And some of the contributions in this thread suggest that the priority should lie on the third item, but I am far from sure that this is a universal view.)

That is a good strategy to address the issue, as prioritizing the goals will also make it much clearer which actions may be better suited or needed to reach those goals.
Question though is, who is part of those "we" that get to prioritize the goals of the Puzzle Portal? Who gets to have a say and who doesn't ? Tough call to make.

It's the Verein's website and portal, so I think decisions about it should be done as all Verein decisions are done: By the Verein's Vorstand (or the people to which the Vorstand delegated it), with input from all Verein-members and everybody else affected, like the discussion in this thread. I expect we will have a larger discussion about it at the hopefully upcoming Mitgliederversammlung in November.

And I just wanted to mention one more possibility for the puzzle creation limits: If we don't like too many new puzzle because number of solves will lag behind, we could encourage solving by allowing e.g. creating one puzzle per week, plus one more for every X solved puzzles. Something like this happens at the online-quiz website jetpunk.com: Taking quizzes allows to accumulate points, so that you can level up, so that you are allowed to create more quizzes. I don't think we need something so involved, but encouraging our new puzzle creators to also try other people's work seems beneficial to many of the goals that Hausigel described.
