if you don't use any of the author's original wording, then it's fine
just take care not to paraphrase, though. going through with a thesaurus or something isn't enough

Q: I was inspired to create a third (and last?) anagram puzzle

user477343Inspired by @QuantumTwinkie's anagram puzzles. Okay, another $20$ lines for another anagram puzzle. (I did reveal one of the original lines in a comment, but you won't find that here.)

Wow damn, did this room go dead without me?
I go away for a few weeks and all the activity vanishes in the Sphinx's Lair.
 
@Randal'Thor o/
 
Anyway, I came to complain about this:
Shouldn't be a thing on Puzzling, dammit.
Titles here aren't like on other sites.
Ah, got around it by posting the question and then shadow-editing the title.
Meh.
 
@Randal'Thor I think that's more an effect of the summer.

I'd like to ask whether it is okay to combine all answers from different users for a question without answering that myself?
 
@KevinL How do you mean, combine?
If there are many different answers from different people which solve different parts of a puzzle, then sometimes someone will create a community wiki answer to draw them all together in a single post.

Q: A hunt for long forgotten treasure ...but beware the pirate's curse!

AlconjaI never really knew my uncle growing up. He seemed nice enough, but I got the sense from the distant, troubled look in his eyes that there was at least some truth to the rumours... Years before I was born, his fishing trawler was lost at sea under mysterious circumstances. None of his crew survi...

Q: What a Fascinating Thing You Are

davisj1691I've really enjoyed creating riddles lately, and I'm back with another one. This one should be simplistic enough, but who knows; maybe it'll stump you for a few minutes. My suffix is a ship; my prefix a pair. My infix is nonsense, of this I am aware. What am I?

Ignore that lol

Q: Alien Number System

RileyAn alien civilization has a strange way of notating their numbers. Here are the first 30 numbers in their system: Now tell me what this number is, and why:

 
@Riley hm, is the 14 correct here? ^
especially the right part
is it supposed to have that corner?
 
7:15 PM
Gareth terminates comments with extreme prejudice
 
@EriktheOutgolfer That corner is a slight mistake in handwriting. Pretend it's curved.
 
alright, you might want to edit that in
(the fact there's a mistake, not the curve)
 
Will do
 
@Riley I suggest checking the 30 too, although that might just be me going towards the wrong solution
 
I don't see what's wrong with the 30. Maybe you're looking too far into specific details?
 
7:23 PM
no, it was something more technical I don't want to reveal, lest anybody takes a hint (I'll post a spoiler-ed partial if nobody else finds a solution)
rot13(vg ybbxf yvxr gur frpbaq pheir fubhyq unir n one ba gur evtug)
 
I'm not entirely sure what your reasoning is, but there is nothing wrong with the 30 :)
 
> that might is just be me going towards the wrong solution
as I said above...need to look into this further

Q: As I Was Reflecting On Nothing

Hugh Meyers I have a teenage cousin. He’s a real 2. I can’t believe this 11. It’s not even 14 and already he’s in deep 16. The worst part is, he doesn’t give a 20. I mean, I showed him this and guess what his reaction was? 12! What words? What pattern?

Sphinx is so slow, that, when it posts a new puzzle, it's already over :(
 
10:02 PM
Puzzling and ppcg are part of the minority, where that really matters.
 
@micsthepick I'm pretty sure it's almost everywhere that it matters
