They tried this once. It was a disaster, since it didn't save whether or not a hint was used. Meaning you could use a hint, refresh, play the hinted move, repeat until solved.
But are these small exploits in puzzles actually a problem? Who does it affect?
people with platinum and diamond

Yes, I understand that only people with unlimited puzzles can get the most use out of it. But what is the problem with people having inflated puzzles ratings? How does it harm anyone if people use this exploit? The point of puzzles is to learn tactical patterns, people who skip the hard puzzles are only hurting themselves.

Well, the benefit they see by cheating is climbing the leaderboard unfairly. But, I agree, it's a dumb thing to do. I don't know why anyone would want to do that. There are plenty of people out there in need of an artificial self-esteem boost, it seems.

Agreeed. I think that is also a major "reason" why people cheat in chess generally, not just in puzzles

I'm gold I only get 25 so can confim that one is right
Again, it depends on what a member was offered on what they get. I believe the default is that one though.

there an exploit where if you exit puzzles and reenter it will give you a different puzzle which means you can does many times so you can get a puzzle you can do and get points so people can get a much higher rating
whether it's an exploit is debatable

Why?
It's a very distinct pattern of behavior (being served hard puzzles but not responding to them, exiting, then returning to get another puzzle). If chess.com cared about puzzle cheats (honestly, that is probably open to debate) it would not be rocket science to detect people who do this to inflate their rating.
This probably isn't the right forum to discuss these issues in, though....
