| Apr 8, 2020 at 6:40 | comment | added | Kevin Cruijssen | I agree with this one, but only if the edit itself isn't necro-bumping the challenge because of it. It was common practice to add non-competing for newer languages competing in older challenges before, so if we'd go through all answers one-by-one to remove non-competing it clutters the recently changed challenges way too much. But, I do agree that if someone posts a challenge now with non-competing because they weren't aware of the new meta rules as returning user, then it's fine to remove it. Likewise for answers that were recently edited, and thus already bumped the challenge up anyway. | |
