Giving a wrong answer should loose more points than not giving an answer at all. This would prevent that people try guessing instead of thinking.

What also irritates me is that when there is another decisive move (or move order) it's "rewarded" as a wrong answer..... Happens more than once to me.

if that happens you should REPORT the problem.

The first thing you should do is actually make SURE there is an alternate solution. I've reported one problem, and after thinking it over for 2 minutes I realized I made the mistake. Every daily puzzle people are complaining about multiple solutions or what if black plays this instead....and literally everytime someone shows their idea is wrong.

I'm betting you've yet to come across a problem that actually hasn't accepted a 'correct' solution. Remember the correct being the MOST decisive move order
