No, thats irritating, they should give more points to so we do more, its not at all fair, once I fall its demotivating and one has to take break for a long time.
The rating system of puzzles is worse than trash.

Puzzles have a number of factors in how many points you get or lose.

Great point!
Time is the main factor. There is a target time for each puzzle based on your rating and the puzzle rating. If you are taking a lot of time to solve puzzles, you will not get many points. The faster you solve a puzzle, the more points you get.
Your stats show how how the last 25 you did were scored.

First of all , why the heck am I losing 10 points for puzzles that are 200 points above me, and gaining just 2-3 points for the same level puzzles, @CHESSCOM, this is how you motivate players? Its irritating, I am going through headaches because of this.
That's normal. Get over it. It's only 1 point for puzzles below your rating if you dont make the time bonus. I find the endgame puzzles are overrated, easier than their rating, so my rating jumps up if I get a few of those in a row.

It's not meant to be motivating. The rating system is meant to help guide the algorithm to give you puzzles in the appropriate rating ranges.
Some 2200s are treated like 4000s but normally they are fair puzzles
They do demerit 10 when I get a 2600 puzzle wrong, but when I get a puzzle right it gives me about 10

that's probably because you're taking like 10 minutes per puzzle. Think faster.
You should see the :Lchess website's puzzles, you get one right in under 8 seconds and they give you +7. and you get it wrong you get -20.

I don't do puzzles there. And their puzzles are very easy, I had done once.

It's not meant to be motivating. The rating system is meant to help guide the algorithm to give you puzzles in the appropriate rating ranges.
So my rating is 2300, I am doing a 2500 rated puzzle correct in 3 mins, they give 2 points? And when I get a 2500 wrong they take -10? Why?? The puzzle is higher than me, and.. why are the puzzle target time so less, like a very difficult puzzle how will someone get in 30 seconds? I am sure people of my rating wont get it so early.

It should be a bit motivating, it excites enthusiasts to do more puzzles.

-10 is normal. taking 3 minutes is about 3x the target time, so ofc you won't get that many rating points.

But the puzzles is higher than me so if I get in target time I get 15 and NOT in target time then 3??? Amazing maths
