What's this, from when - for 1 point?:

It's time to move this puzzle up, but instead of moving it to the Experts board as I usually do I'm going to move it straight to the Professionals; and what's more, since the Pro's get so little chance to join in the game these days I'm going to restrict replies to Professionals only!

It shouldn't last long, but at least it gives a Pro a chance...

Your decision forces my imagination I mentioned in my last reply at the 'djetset 1088'-puzzle, paragraph 6). Bending the rules, doesn't help to keep this platform lively. It doesn't help to gain offspring for the 'Rookies-section' and annoys any player of the 'Expert-section' to leave this platform.
This platform should respect the fact that it does not promote enough young people. And there is the problem, that 'Pros' and 'Masters' haven't enough puzzles to solve.
But this is also the responsibility of the 'experts', 'pros' and 'masters' to find puzzles that halfway suit a young target group. Congratulation to 'Wendax'.
Secondly, in my opinion, the rulebook should be adjusted to the new situation.
There is a far too long gap between 'Experts' to 'Professionals', which let get the 'Pros' tired. On the other side, between 'Rookies' and 'Experts' too small, I think...
There is a lot to do to keep this platform alive in its old glory,... But not with one-off decisions, nobody will perceive, without a small 'underground association'...
Please understand this critical statement not as an insult, but as an invitation to reconsider the rules.
I know this car, But I will not announce it here. In memory of the poor 'Pros' and 'Masters'...(joke...)

The restriction to pros only is not as singular and new as it might appear to you. Until the introduction of the Masters level last year there was a "Pros and Feature Writers" thread which served just this task.

[Carnut]

Quite so Gerd. It used to be FAR more common for puzzles to be posted just for Pro's than it has been of late.
It's essential that the Pro's get some chances to join in and have some fun too otherwise they will disappear.
Anyone seen Djetset recently?

And fromwien: you've managed to amass 235 points whilst I have gained 1, so you really can't complain you're being left out! And there will be plenty more for you to join in too.
There is no rule about the path puzzles take to the top.. They can be posted to the Professionals first if you like without going through the lower boards.
I'd like to have some fun again sometime as well, like it used to be.

Siata 1200 coupe' 1957 based on Fiat 1100

[Carnut]

Exactly!
It was available as an 1100 or 1200 and I think the photo is of a 1200, but I don't think there is any difference so you can't actually tell!
Well done.

[Hiawatha]

Thank you for the brilliant idea..

[Carnut]

Thanks.
I think it's a good idea to spread the puzzles about a bit so that more can join in!

I'd upvote this is if I could.

Unfortunately, I have to acknowledge that well-intentioned critical comments are mixed up with personal sensitivities. I think it's a shame. Sometimes it takes reworking to turn a established family group into a large, friendly community of interests. The potential is great and would be there. If all members would promote it and pick it up with pleasure. And, as in my personal case, not be treated like an uninvited intruder (see comment 'djetset 1088')!
I would like to take it into personal account to present puzzles (as far as possible) of all kinds in order to offer every newcomer a guessing field. That's where the responsibility lies, I mean. Although I've only been guessing for less than a year ...

I hope people don't take it too badly for my democratic opinion.
