As we all know, there were some issues with yesterday's round, and the rating update surprised many people. I won't try to argue here about the round — it breeds too much conflict — but I would like to ask MikeMirzayanov and HQ to please make an official announcement? The current situation has led to quite a toxic environment; with marzipan being downvoted into oblivion, people trashing 74TrAkToR at every opportunity and heated arguments about whether the round should be rated or not.

I think an announcement on HQ's current stance on this situation would help us all in calming down. Additionally, it would be nice to have an at least semi-formal standard on exactly what will constitute an unrated round in the future.
