Re: Why are my problems bad?

Why do you post problems? To teach other players - what? To answer your question: they are bad because, apart from some issues with civility, they reveal your real strength. Your rating is 30 kyu, which is the absolute entry level of people who just learned the game. Needless to say, 99.9% of the pe...

Re: Thoughts on recent "close" problems?

Bart TM, You said "copies are not new.". You seem to agree with copies now. What is your opinion? What is your goal? Once upon a time, Japan and your country did trading so you like copies like Japanese people, right? Please have your direction. And it's not for you to tease my copies any...

Re: half a white stone artifact with js

I edited that problem 6 years ago, so I thought I had made a mistake. And indeed, there were two paths starting with White instead of Black... :o I tried to fix that and see if the stone went away but the problem refuses to play my new version and picks the previous version instead (again...) and ev...

Re: Thoughts on recent "close" problems?

Hi Santa, I like those problems!
Rather than annoying, it is inspiring to see how a small change can alter the problem so much that you really have to check it all over again.

Re: Can adum remove the voting/flagging system?

I agree with Spock1701. The whole idea of solving go problems is to be challenged; the problem needs to be reasonable hard to solve and reward correct play. That yields satisfaction. Problems that are dead easy to solve aren't interesting to anyone except maybe an absolute beginner. But people won't...

Problem editing sometimes won't accept new SGF

Hi Adum, another one that failed. I tried to add a missing solution to problem http://goproblems.com/prob.php3?id=17820 but it does not show the changes, while in the problem history the new version shows up just fine. Maybe it is the version number? Like the problem chooses the most recent version ...

Re: Total problems in database: 12435

The moderators try to weed out copies.
Deliberately adding copies makes our task harder and more tedious.
Please stop copying problems or we may be forced to simply remove all your problems to relieve us of this burden.
Please do good. Work with us, not against us.

Re: Can adum remove the voting/flagging system?

You cannot tell people to die just because you they wrote something that upset your feelings. You cannot tell people to die. Full stop. No matter what they did anyway. Other people have feelings too. You cannot expect others to respect your feelings if you don't behave respectfully yourself. I repea...

Re: https + js editing of problems

Agreed!
I now use Drago to edit problems, but would much prefer an on-site solution with all the specifics (like NOTTHIS, RIGHT label support etc).

But I haven't seen much activity from Adum lately. I hope all is well?

Re: Can adum remove the voting/flagging system?

I do not know why you keep on going about fake or original. People don't focus on that, or at least it is not the top priority when there are worse issues like: - a problem which does not recognize all correct solutions (22786), - is dead wrong (22782) or - harassing (22784, fixed) I want to make th...
