Topic: Questions to 'The Brand-New 2025 Vehicle Identification Board'

[fromwien]

Since meanwhile I hardly can be familiar with the AutoPuzzles-site, I would like to ask the following questions:
1) What is this new 'The Brand-New 2025 Vehicle Identification Board'-section for? I'm not sure, but all puzzles there, could have been found previously in the 'Black-Hole-section', or am I wrong?
2) Which puzzles go there, why and when? And by whom?
3) For pointhunters: Solved puzzles of the 'Black-Hole-section' are awarded with two points (I am not sure, if I am right)? The 'Ex-Black-Hole-section-puzzles' in the 'The Brand-New 2025 Vehicle Identification Board'-section with only one point?

Thanks very much for all replies in advance. I hope they will help all other players to understand this new section too

'The Brand-New 2025 Vehicle Identification Board' was created to have one single place for requests and puzzles to which the poster himself doesn't know the answer. The majority of the new board's entries stems from the former "Information Requests || What is this car ? thread" which was too large to be of much use anymore. One could hardly find out whether requests were satisfactorily answered or not. With one entry per unidentified car in the new thread it is much easier to have an overview. And as you proved several so far unknown cars could be identified after years of oblivion. Furthermore the editors agreed that it would be just fine moving those puzzles from the Black Hole (and a very few forgotten ones from the Masters) to the new thread, as far as they were about cars unidentified even by the puzzle poster. We are in the process of informing the owners of those puzzles about our intent to move these puzzles and have already moved some to the new board.
Regarding your question about the points: the puzzle owner can still award two points for former Black Hole puzzles when these are solved. The new board does not mean any downgrade to these puzzles. It is rather an upgrade for the so far unsolved requests. As you may have noticed you have been awarded some points for identifying cars from the new board (as long as they were no reposts) by me or other editors.

Thank you so much for clarifying

One more question:

To find this additional new puzzle-section easier, wouldn't it be helpful for all of us to move it from 'News, Information and Feedback'- to 'Puzzles, Games and Name That Car'-section?

Fine to find 'The Brand-New 2025 Vehicle Identification Board' now in the 'Puzzles, Games and Name That Car'-section.  My additional question seems unnecessary to be answered

Thank you very much
