Solving problems - rated 0

Hello,

In solving problems it is common for some of these to be rated 0 by more than 100,000 players and therefore, obviously that the solution is not, out of context, the most suitable, or even that it is obviously not the best of the possible options. However, when this evaluated solution is not answered it is penalized by a loss of 6 points. It seems to me that it would be fairer for the problems estimated to be poorly solved by a score of 0 from more than 100,000 players not to penalize the player who did not adopt for the solution deemed to be of little value.

But, knowing that I am only a small player, it is possible that I miss some subtleties. Anyway, thank you again to Thibault and to this site where it must be said I may spend a little too much time playing ... but with great pleasure.

Sorry for my English assisted by Google.
I do not know how to attach a screenshot to this message, the case I have just encountered, quite common has the number: 62242

I just do not understand and there may be a logical and valid explanation.
the problem has been played 153,482 times and its appreciation by the players is O -

It seems to me that the solution adopted is not unique and that others are also valid
@Parisfrance It could have been half of the people voted up and half down, making it 0, and some not even voting. But you do have a point that there are some bad puzzles.
I looked at the puzzle and I see only one good move in the position, Qxa1. What other moves were you considering in the position?
It is true that some puzzles, especially some 2050+ seem meaningless and their solution is not clear even after running the engine, but in this case the puzzle you reported, at my eyes, has literally no other possible moves to consider. Qxa8 wins a full piece, then after Nc6 your queen is threatened and the only square not controlled by black pieces is b7.
I am actually surprised by its 1755 rating, I would give it no more than 1600.
