Actually, including it in the post would be more effective because the line would be under the Rules section. | |

| Dec 8, 2017 at 20:34 | comment | added | user45941 | I support this, but I also suggest posting the comment on the challenge, not an answer, to avoid unintentionally singling out a single answer. For challenges that have the potential to attract lots of trivial answers (like Add Two Numbers), the comment can be posted pre-emptively, before trivial answers start pouring in (like so). | |
| Dec 8, 2017 at 20:00 | comment | added | JungHwan Min | I see that under the question I linked, there are 5 upvotes to the comment arguing that there should be a comment for every trivial answers. I'd presume it was the phrasing of the first comment? | |
