Trust System
By tfg, history, 4 years ago, In English

A feature allowing IGMs (iirc, could be from GM up not sure) to "trust" other people in order to let them things that only people with coach mode are able to do. Recently, I noticed that the trust option doesn't appear when I open other's profiles anymore, unless I open a profile of someone that I trusted. How to use this system now? Or was it removed?

This feature still works. Try to go to a random user profile (for ex. on the last page of rated users).

    That's not a "random" user profile. How come those have the option and the over 50 profiles I checked before don't?

    For example: I just checked 5 users in page 300 and none had that option. "users on last page" is terribly specific, it seems I can't trust anyone that I want to, why's that the case?

Interesting observation! It seems there’s some inconsistency in how this feature is available across different user profiles. This raises questions about the criteria for granting access to it.

I've encountered a similar issue while exploring Codeforces settings, and I’d love to learn more about the logic behind it. If anyone has reliable insights, it would be great to hear your thoughts!

Additionally, I recently submitted a request to obtain the Trusted/Coordinator role to organize training contests for students. I’d be curious to know how long it took others to receive a response from the Codeforces team. Any experiences you can share?
