@Deusovi, hello. I am quit inexperienced here in Puzzling. I am wondering about the off topic reason for this question puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/40595/notan-pleh-rotit. I mean : is the subject itself off topic or is it the way the question is asked. I may ask on meta, but is it a good way to proceed here ? Thanks

@lemon There's nothing inherently wrong with the question, I think. It's just that questions inviting speculative answers don't really work well on Puzzling.
 
user61230
That close reason came about because questions with subjectively correct answers (i.e. figuring out the story behind an unclear situation) didn't really work well here, but it also applies to this one.
 
@Emrakul, OK, thanks... the videos are probably a "fake something". But strange... so in some way, the OP needs to know the answer to ask a question ? as if not, all could be speculative ?
 
user61230
@lemon It depends? But honestly, not usually. The answer just needs to be verifiable, or the scope of answers needs to be limited.
 
user61230
Lemme see if I can find an example.

@Chad Hello!
 
What's about you?
 
user61230
 
I see
Well... this is a bit different but I see... I won't take too much of your time. I think each SE site as its own philosophy which needs to be learned (I am very new here)
@Emrakul, thanks for this answer.
 
user61230
@lemon It's a bit different, true!
 
user61230
And no problem! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Stack sites definitely have their own cultures, and I'd love to help you get oriented.
 
6:05 PM
thanks a lot. I won't forget it @Emrakul !!

I'm having some issues. I'm allowing a user here to post the puzzles I originally designed for noreallyitis.me. In this edit, I offer an updated cipher for those users who are using the linked PDF instead of the copy of the book that I used originally.
It is being rejected because it "conflicts with original intent", but it doesn't. It can't because I wrote the original riddle. I just adjusted the numbers in the cipher so that the PDF version could match, exactly, with my hard copy.
 
@CasperTheFriendlyCode I have approved the edit. Hopefully that's what you needed.
 
Can anyone post a question on stack exchange puzzling? I can't
 
@lemon Something to note about your puzzle: StackExchange is meant to be a repository of questions and answers. Posting questions where the crucial part of the puzzle is off-site doesn't really contribute to that goal.
@lemon I get that it's impossible to post video directly in the question, but maybe that means that video puzzles aren't a good fit for this site...?
@Chad Anyone should be able to. What problem are you having?
 
I would post a question called "How to puzzle", Because I want start to but I'm not good at solve it, if someone could post this question.
 
@Chad I think that would be closed fairly quickly as being too broad.
You could certainly ask for tips for a specific puzzle type if you wanted!
 
6:27 PM
@Chad That question is not specific enough. Someone could write a whole book (and probably has) on the topic.
 
ok
 
You need to ask specific questions, about specific puzzles or types of puzzles.
 
@GentlePurpleRain Yes, thank you very much.
 
@Chad, note that you must create an account on puzzling.stackexchange.com before you can post.
 
I know
 
6:30 PM
No, not necessarily - you can post questions as a guest.

Would expecting users to be able to decode some base64 into a file be too much if I specify what the expected file type should be?

@CasperTheFriendlyCode Not sure what you mean by "too much". Denizens of this site would certainly have the ability to do so. Whether such a puzzle would be well-received or fit within the site guidelines is harder to say.
 
8:57 PM
Hello, I'm relatively new to puzzling but since finding it have been spending perhaps too much time here haha. I just wanted to say hi and thanks for this fun site
 
@GentlePurpleRain I just wanted to know if others would consider it too much work for the reward of fake internet points.
 
@CasperTheFriendlyCode You'd be amazed what people will do for fake internet points. Seriously.
Hi, @AvikMohan. Welcome to Puzzling.
 
Alright, I'll post my next puzzle tomorrow.

Q: Attaching Excel Files

Beastly Gerbil Is it possible to attach a excel file? Maybe as a website link? On my question I have a Sudoku and have created an excel version but don't know how to attach it
