I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that, unless they trump the FINAL submission for a given ER, you don't want them posted? No one told me that these "more" submissions were being catalogued, and that they wouldn't be simply ignored by anyone not interested in seeing them.
I have been asking for several days what the criteria are for a "more" submission and have gotten almost no guidance (certainly not any that I could make sense of). I get that it should be "interesting". As I said before, define "interesting". I spent considerable time today going back through the threads to find ANY discussion on what constituted a candidate for a "more" submission and found almost nothing other than what little is in the rules posting. I've done my best to "do my homework" before jumping into this, but this is not helpful.
If y'all want more people to play this game, then you have to make the rules and other guidance more understandable for newbies. Jargon that is intelligible only to sudoku programmers shuts out the rest of us.
