I think, we should all have opportunities to be ranked invisible. So nobody sees my standing, how many problems I solved, which problems I solved, what time I solved each problem.

Anyone else agree?

Please quit telegram. I fear greatly for the users. For instance the CEO was arrested, I beg we do not take in such scandalous places. Also telegram is the age of the past. We should start using more modern texting tools, e.g. Whatsapp, iMessages, Discord, Slack, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, etc. Please take this seriously. I do not want user to get in trouble for using the controversial Telegram.

I am being very serious here: you might need to give up competitive programming. Leave (temporarily of course) if one or more of the following apply to you:

  • You find it boring, (why are you even doing it?)
  • You are doing it for a job, (there are better things to do for that)
  • You have exams coming up, (go study!)
  • Pressure by parents to do it, (you ought to have a serious conversation with them)

What motivates you to continue competitively programming? Why do you persist? What is your driving factor? Please do tell in the comments.

Forever, let us commemorate 30 of August as tourist day, as day he surpasses 4000 rating barrier! In fact, 30 Aug 2025 is weekend for all! We should host a huge multi Div-1-2-3-4 on that day! MikeMirzayanov please consider this.

I think, we need contribution rank as we have rating rank. I suggest we follow rhythm game model.

For example

  • SS: > 100 contribution
  • S: <= 100 contribution
  • A: <= 50 contribution
  • B: <= 30 contribution
  • C: <= 10 contribution
  • D: <= 0 contribution

We can make the system more generous by following plus and minuses:

  • B+: <= 35 contribution
  • B: <= 30 contribution
  • B-: <= 25 contribution

This will incentivize peopel to make smarter posts also rhythm games are brilliant: 初音ミクが大好きだ
