Bad comments
By cute_hater, history, 5 years ago, In English

Hello codeforces!

Today I want to talk about bad comments to the announces of rounds.

Maybe I'm too dull, but I really don't understand people who write comments like "I hope to become an expert this round" or "I wanna get high rating" (fortunately, "Is it rated?" has gone out of fashion).

Discussing problems (certainly, after the end of the contest) is excellent: it helps you and other participants to solve the problem or understand it better. Writing jokes related to a contest or to other comment is okay cause they may amuse some people. But comments like "Hope to get plus too rating" are stupid. They are useless and irritating. Nobody is interested what colour you hope to be or how long you haven't written contests.

Let's not pollute CF by useless trash. Thank you for understanding.

Some people need Motivation or Driving force to perform well in contest.
When they announce such thing in comment, in some way they create a force (socially) to push their limit in order to keep their words :)

Anyway such comments degrade quality of discuss :)

Dude dude dude dude. You don't care about them. So it's obvious that they shouldn't care about you either.

You can downvote any comment you don't like. Isn't that enough?

I've actually studied this subject extensively and have written about my findings here: https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/16120

    Hey, give it a rest, it's neither true nor funny, it's just really annoying.

    This is the 3rd time I've been to that blog on the last month. No idea why this started popping up so much lately. Complete waste of time.
