Why are "exclusive open challenges" named the way they are? The word "exclusive" means that something is not included. What is not included?
Open Challenges - that would make sense in my opinion.
When I first joined the site, I was always clicking past the "exclusive" challenges, figuring they would be exclusive of non-paying members. Of course, didn't take me long to understand that the "exclusive" challenges are actually the ones that are inclusive of such members.
You could make the argument that the rules that govern "member challenges" are excluded in open challenges, but doesn't the word "open" already signify that?

"Exclusive" means you can choose just one of the two. Choosing to enter one of them excludes the other. "Open" means anyone can enter. It can be confusing, I suppose. I remember it took me a bit to understand what it meant.

Right. Exclusive as in mutually exclusive. |

As in the sense of "excluding", is how I look at it.

Think of it as the exclusive or (XOR) in logic. Either, but not both.
