This is the first published puzzle of Trolley. What an entrance! Cheers.

I agree with you, Zegres!
This SKORPION17 is a toxic member of this community. He told in words to an author from LMG: "Your puzzle is good." And afterwords he gave a bad rating. Not very normal.
I'm glad, that no two accounts must exist in the portal.

Just to be clear.
I was only explaining the negative feelings about SKORP17.
I love LMD and I am very grateful to have a place to post my puzzles where they are solved and appreciated!

Thanks Zegres.

@Fisherman and @slowbiex
I might as well explain,
SKORP17 uses sudoku solvers to get solution codes.
He also takes solution codes from YouTube features and streams.
He rates puzzles very low - without actually solving himself.
He also never comments to explain his bad ratings.
He is a troll.
He hurts rating of puzzles that setters work very hard to make.
He also hurts the chances that puzzles get solved, because badly rated puzzles get less interest.
That having been said, the world of Sudoku has precious few villains, we need to cherish them.

A seal of approval for the quality / ability of online solving software of variant sudoku might be more accurate.. Heck I don't even set puzzles and know far more about this individual than I ever wanted to know.

Hi Slowbiex, I don't get it either. Skorp17, a hero of thousands of solving battles, is suspected of giving low ratings. Actions speak louder. This giant continues to solve: that's a seal of approval of these puzzles.

Fun puzzle, even if I don't get the whole Skorpion/Troll context...

In the spirit of the theme, have your 1/5 not very nice rating.
Great puzzle and a wonderful theme:)

Yay...thanks for saying hello to him for us.

Now it seems that the scoring mechanism of LMD really needs to be revised.
Maybe some of the lowest and highest ratings can be properly removed according to the number of people who solved the puzzle, and finally the average rating can be calculated.
This may make the scoring system fairer.
Of course, this is just a suggestion, and it is up to the administrators to decide whether to adopt it or not.
