Certain questions cannot be posted on Puzzling Stack Exchange unless they are [sandboxed first](http://meta.puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/sandbox). This will last until more complete quality standards are developed. For more information, see [this meta post](http://meta.puzzling.stackexchange.com/q/5267/20).
@BeastlyGerbil Good question. Old questions will create clutter, but there's also value in people seeing the feedback that led to a +10 question being created; it will help in creating more quality questions. I would lean toward leaving them in.
I'm a bit unsure about 10 (+) upvotes. The Sandbox was posted half an hour ago, and currently still only has 8 views. It could take up to a day to get 10 upvotes and some might get lost if lots are posted

Yeah, the close reason's not intended to go backward through all riddles on the site. Just forward, from this point on.
also the amount of traffic they had was never above 600-some

@BeastlyGerbil That's fair, and it's something we're going to keep an eye on. If +10 is too restrictive, either now, or after attention dies down, the requirements are easy to change.
@BeastlyGerbil A day seems quite reasonable to me. I suspect some might take longer. We want everyone to take the time to make sure their riddles are of high quality before they are posted.
Okay thanks, glad there is potential for flexibility. Should be a bit slow at the start until everyone gets too know about it. After that it should be just another part of everyday life on puzzling.
The riddle ban is currently planned to be temporary, but may or may not be made permanent - we'll see.

@BeastlyGerbil Right now, the plan is to keep it mandatory until better quality standards are developed. All depends on how the sandbox works out, honestly. It's something worth discussing once we've had a chance to see it in practice.
We tried to link the http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/29480/french-language-usage proposal in the corresponding chat room topic using the traditional :
[French Language and Usage](http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/29480/french-language-usage)
But it does not work. Could we hav...
That is indeed @0x23212f, until it has 10 upvotes (this may be changed) it can't be posted on the main site. It wasn't your fault, you didn't know. But hopefully because your question was closed others should realise too
I see, thank you very much! :) As I am aware of the rules now, I will refrain from posting further riddles on the main Puzzling site and post them on that thread instead. Thanks for the heads up!
@BeastlyGerbil, wouldn't me posting my answer defeat the purpose of the riddle? :D May I just tell you the answer here?
I just don't want it to be too simple to solve! Pen and writing narrows it down a lot. I think it might be a good idea to keep it a little confusing? What say?
Okay moderators, there is a riddle here which was posted 5 hours ago. Should this be closed and posted in the Sandbox as it is still unanswered or are we only closing ones after the sandbox came into use?
