Many problems with missing solutions
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2015 2:55 am
Hi, recently I began solving goproblems again and I met TONS of problems on the site that have missing solutions. Mainly I am talking about the problems from vougalar, who apparently copied some books to the site. My feeling is that maybye 2/3 of his problems are unfinished (maybye I am wrong as I havent seen all of them but from those I saw it is a really large portion). Solving the problems correctly and then dealing with all the wrongs just because somebody didnt check the problem.. is okay to some degree (I also had to repair many of my problems), but when it happens in such a large scale it gets just too frustrating. I just have to solve the problem, get it wrong, then see what one var the creator marked correct and then refresh the page and follow the marked path...
I definitely do not have time to repair 1 000 goproblems from this one user. My question is - what should I do?
Should I:
- mark and comment on almost every problem of some authors and hope that the creator will try to fix them? (this way the problem can stay on the site for a looong time, but there will be more problems on the site)
- delete the invalid problems so that there will be only valid problems on the site? (this way it might be quite frustrating for the author, but the site will retain some quality. I am not sure if I can just deactivate the problem so that the author can reactivate it later or the problem will be deleted forever. As there are really many problems on the site I think this is affordable)
- do domething else?
I am now in mood of deactivating the problems with too many missing solutions, but I know this happened to me some time ago with my philosophical-heart-problem and I wasnt able to reactivate it and had to build it again, which sucked. If there was a way to deactivate a problem so that the author could easily edit it and reactivate it again I think this would be the best solution. But as it would mean deactivating about 10 % of the problems on the site I still dont want it to be a single mans decision
Cheers, FM
