In case mine is confusing: I ignored the time travel conundrum and just did a spin on the moral quandary of if you should wait for a crime or bad thing to happen before taking action.

It’s not confusing to the kinds of readers your writing likely gels with. Just saw this comment, and something isn’t right. When a good writer feels the need to explain themselves, they probably don’t need to. If some miss the point, which invariably happens, it means that you respect the intelligence of your audience enough to make them think.
Also bare in mind proper feedback on here is rare, and comments tend to come only when the prompt itself takes off.

I only left this disclaimer since a while ago I posted a response I was fairly proud of and was heavily downvoted for not fitting the prompt. I agree with basically all ya said though, and will prolly leave it to people’s brains in the future.
The referenced post.

Well, ignoring parts of the prompt is allowed in the sub rules yes, but that doesn't mean someone who wanted to read a story about time travel isn't going to downvote you just because of that, unfortunately. I'm not sure a disclaimer will do much good against that.

I can just imagine time cops bullying a kid for stealing a candy bar that set in motion a series of events that led to the USSR taking over

The rules have not been written yet, but still do apply for all time, so the future-temporal police is on the case!
