| Oct 6, 2016 at 22:39 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor | @TheBitByte The main scenario I've been imagining is where the puzzle is paraphrased, or only the core idea taken, rather than a direct copy-paste. | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 22:34 | comment | added | Buffer Over Read | @Areeb makes a good point. If I can copypaste the puzzle into Google search, then attribution is the last of the puzzle asker's worries, however, attribution must always be provided. | |
| Sep 30, 2016 at 20:03 | comment | added | Areeb | If the puzzle is on the Internet, finding the original puzzle would be super easy. That undermines the semi-attributed point since people who only want rep could find the answer. It's nothing a little renaming wouldn't fix but some puzzle are dependent on their wording so it could pose a problem. | |
