| Mar 28, 2018 at 15:30 | comment | added | Malachi | I should not have used the word "rewrite" because sometimes the code dump is not a completely rewritten piece of code, it has suggestions in it usually. I agree with your comment. whether or not a review is good is a case for up votes and down votes, not deletion. deletion should be used in the case that the answer is not a review at all. | |

Added support for #3.

| Mar 28, 2018 at 14:57 | comment | added | Mast Mod | @Malachi A rewrite is only useful if accompanied by why they prefer their approach over the original approach. All of a sudden it turned into a review. Most of such answers can be salvaged with a little effort by whoever wrote the answer, but not all are. | |
| Mar 28, 2018 at 14:44 | comment | added | Malachi | I disagree with your answer to #3. the fact that they took the time to rewrite the code means that they have seen things that they would do differently, this is a review of the code albeit a bad one and should not be deleted, I would downvote and suggest that they explain their changes. a case where the code is completely different from the OP is another matter entirely and would be better as a new question, with context. | |
