My general inclination is that if you just deleted (typical and best case) swears from comments or strings and it makes no real difference to clarity, functionality, &c, then say nothing. Better to let the asker save face and avoid causing further offence to readers by drawing attention to it. If you're cleaning up objectionable variable or function names, or otherwise change something that reviewers would likely comment on, it's better to leave a comment indicating that, so that reviewers don't get confused about what is whose. | |
