Yes you read the title right.

I reached top 100 contributors without posting a blog. and it wasn't for my comments to!

So you may ask how I achieved such a great accomplishment?

Everything started about a year ago. The day I forgot to log out of the school computer and someone wrote a blog with my account and got a lot of contribution (308 as I am writing this blog). you can read it here.

Then about 4 month ago one of my friends (arash.) wrote my second blog but it didn't get much contribution (86 as I am writing this blog). you can read it here.

And about 2 month ago another friend of mine (AliiSh) wrote a blog to congratulate alireza_kaviani for becoming the first Iranian LGM and I asked him to let me post the blog and he agreed. it got a lot of contribution (388 as I am writing this blog). and you can see the blog here.

I got to the top 100 without writing any blog myself.

Now the main question is, did I write this blog myself?? :)

Congratulations to alireza_kaviani on becoming the first legendary grandmaster from Iran. I wanted to congratulate on behalf of all Iranians for achieving this great accomplishment. (Kavi) is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. He is one of the kindest and most well-mannered people I know.

I am realy happy for him reaching this huge milestone. And I hope more Iranians become LGM.

and a special thanks on behalf of all his students.

Hello CodeForces!

I wanted to suggest a new registering policies/rules.

Let's take a look at AtCoder, a competitive programming website that we all know and love. When you want to register for a contest, you have two options.

The first one is Rated register and the second one Unrated register, You can't change these options at the middle of the contest.

If you choose the Rated register option, then if you don't even participate in the contest, you will still be in the standing and have impact on other people's performance and rating changes.

If you choose the Unrated register option, you can take part in the contest but your or other people's rating will not be affected at all. It's like doing a virtual contest.

But in CodeForces we don't have any of these fancy options. Instead if the contest is rated for you, you have the option to just leave after reading some problems.

But in AtCoder you are forced to participate in the contest no matter what.

Now in today's contest, Codeforces Round 908 (Div. 2), problem A had a hard-to-read statement, which lead to many participants who registered in the contest, not to participate in the contest, therefore other people's performance was affected by this.

24098 People registered in the contest but only 10238 people actually participated at the contest.

That is 13860 people registering but backing off after reading problems!!

If these people would have participated, the performance of other users would have been affected greatly.

I suggest that CodeForces adapts this idea from AtCoder and change the registering policies.

Do you agree with me? I would be glad to hear your opinion.

Thank you!
