It says on the tag wiki for :

DO NOT POST PUZZLES OF THIS TYPE. This tag is kept for historical reasons, and semi-interactive puzzles should not be considered good questions for this site. Semi-interactive puzzles are those where new parts are added to the puzzle as each part is solved.

My instructions for my puzzle are:

Comment and pick from the following tiny images and I will reveal a higher-res image, with details that may or may not help you solve the puzzle. I'll only be providing one reveal every day, and I'm also only revealing $\frac56$ of the tiny images.

I'm not updating the puzzle as things are solved, rather than as time goes on.

Would this be considered a ?

  • $\begingroup$ Then that would be a semi-interactive puzzle, which according to Deusovi, is forbidden. But your comment on the answer below seems to clear that up. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ To be clear: the reason it counts as semi-interactive is because in order to solve the puzzle it requires people to ask something of you, and for you to respond and update accordingly. That's what makes it off topic. Questions are static (edits change them from one static state to another), and that's what breaks. $\endgroup$

Yes, it would be. This type of puzzle is NOT allowed. Puzzles should be solvable from the time they are posted; edits should not be necessary except to fix errors.

  • $\begingroup$ I'll be revealing one clue since the puzzle start. That one clue can solve the puzzle alone. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Peanut: What's the point of the other images then? This sounds dangerously close to "semi-interactive". $\endgroup$
