| Dec 29, 2013 at 18:17 | comment | added | Peter Taylor | @JoeZ., as a general rule, when a question inspires you to create a variation you should make a note of it and come back to it in a couple of weeks. Otherwise you get what we've seen in the past couple of weeks with quines and then "code-trolling" (in scare quotes because the troll, if anyone, seems to me to be the question asker): a batch of 5+ closely related questions which rob any variety from the front page. If a question is non-trivial enough to be worth posting then a really good answer takes a couple of days, so a flood of similar questions is pointless. | |

| Dec 29, 2013 at 16:07 | comment | added | Joe Z. | I also apologize if I set anything off by producing the first "mimic". I just had my own idea for something and wanted to expand the category a little. | |
| Dec 29, 2013 at 16:03 | comment | added | Joe Z. | I think this phrase of code-trolling will be a flash in the pan. It was a question that simply exploded to become wildly popular, and there will always be a time where something that's wildly popular invades the rest of the medium it's in like a fad. | |
| Dec 29, 2013 at 15:03 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | Well, I am sorry for everybody that did not enjoyed or is not enjoying. I could not imagine that the result would get so much attention and visibility. But yes, it is way out of control. Anyway, this site got some change now and will need special attention to moderation, lets try to channel this to the positive side and improve codegolf as a whole. | |
| Dec 29, 2013 at 14:08 | comment | added | manatwork | “I'm beginning to have difficulties finding new serious puzzles/challenges” – Me too. But not anymore. I added code-trolling to the Ignored tags list. (Before voting an answer I prefer to check whether the answer has something original. With 3++ pages of answers that is quite difficult. So I decided to stay away completely.) | |
