Generally they take 2 to 3 days to update the ratings for any round, and today the ratings have already been updated even after all the pleas to make the round unrated.

What a JOKE!

I request mike to make the round unrated by taking into consideration all the issues that were pointed out by the participants.

If the round is low-quality and copied from somewhere then why you didn't solve these simple problems? The round has nothing wrong logically, so it should not be unrated. You got minus delta then want an unrated, but there are ten thousands of problems so it is not able to prevent a problem crashing. If you are so good then solve these "copied" problems in contest then petition an unrated here.

        Sorry, but from your point of view, contests with copied prolems is also acceptable, right? Do OEIS-able problems and googleable problems have any difference from copied problems, in the aspect of influence to participants?

        I got some +ve delta, but I do not want this round to be rated. Copied problem H does influence Div1 participants greatly, so maybe deleting problems G & H (and F?) and making it rated only for Div2 participants is a good choice.

Low-quality and many FST are not a reason of unrated at all. Copied problem may be a reason of unrated — if it afftected a contest a lot.

What matters in this contest is unproved problem — if all problem have non-random solution or random solution having probability of being wrong in low enough and there is no error in testcases which used in the contest, the contest would be rated. Otherwise, the contest should be unrated.

Well,so you mean that you want to make winners sad while losers are happy?Is it what you said "FAIR"?The ones who tried to solve G don't complaint so much.I think it is more UNFAIR to unrated.

    You are protecting the round on every post related to this round and you are literally arguing everyone, who said round needed to be unrated. Maybe because you got +174? You just can't be objective because you don't want to lose high rating delta... Why are you so scared of losing it? Rating isn't even that important and you have been arguing because of it on the whole platform. I promise you are getting negative delta on the next round, because you don't even deserve +174 and you know that. Relax dude, forget your high rating delta and just admit that round had tons of problems. JEEZ.
