It would be great to find out exactly why a solver thinks a puzzle should be rated as 0%. As a solver myself, I would never spend so much time solving a puzzle and then rate it 0%. In fact I never give any puzzle a 0% vote because I know what goes into authoring a puzzle. While I may have voted lower before beginning to author puzzles, since then I have not voted below 50%.
Puzzle authors can only learn to make better puzzles if they receive constructive criticism on puzzles that don't meet the solvers expectations. Please leave comments to help authors know what you think, good or bad. Trust me, we read them! I even translate the non-English comments using Google so I know how everyone feels about my puzzles.
