::: comment :::

bizzare but yes, clear

I'm unclear on what was clarified

[Pat]

As then, today you again embellished the ::: comment ::: keyword.

A post containing ::: anything ::: before any font embellishments will not be interpreted as a submission.

yes, the rule has been clarified,
the opening post was edited following the incident in game 150

it needs a more prominent warning in the rules and I'll fix that

[Pat]

Pat,

your puzzle has been accepted !

the players seeing the "comment" header on my 4.2
would tend to see it as a comment.
(assuming the players are human.)

reading it as a submission
is bizzare.

is bizzare.

the rules are for both players and programs that parse the forums
there is no way (save adding an html renderer) for the referee (program) to determine
if an embellishment is designed to enhance or obfuscate a section of text
the easiest (and hobby driven) solution is to ban all ::: keyword ::: embellishments
