Hello Codeforces community!

I'd like to discuss an issue from Codeforces Round 882 (Div. 2) that caught my attention. The problem name, "The Man who became a God".

Codeforces has been an incredible platform for enhancing our skills and engaging in healthy competition. However, the problem name gave me pause. As a Muslim, it directly contradicts and disrespects my core beliefs. Moreover, it may also offend individuals of different faiths. Furthermore, I discovered that some of my friends chose not to participate in the contest upon noticing the problem name (unfortunately, I only noticed it after the contest had ended).

This incident highlights the impact that such names create divisions and discourage people from engaging in the Codeforces community. It is important to remember that Codeforces is a global community with participants from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. As a platform that aims to bring programmers together, it is crucial that we keep an environment where everyone feels respected and valued.

I strongly encourage the Codeforces administration to think about how problem names can affect people, and to create guidelines that promote respect for diverse beliefs.

Thanks for reading! Keep coding and stay awesome!
