The most plausible reason seems that he doesn't want to reveal the difficulty of the problems to other participants as the scoreboard is public

One of these reasons is when the blog or comment goes against a popular opinion. In this case that opinion is that ratism exists

Ummm... So how did it become a popular opinion in the first place ?? My reasons

Due to a large number of people experiencing it , otherwise they wouldn't care (neither upvote or downvote) , or , the opinion holds true

There are plenty of reasons for which a blog or comment will get downvoted besides the poster's rating

The only reasons I know of are abusive speech , large number of blogs with same title , posting something which is false and asking a doubt which has been asked before

Only 3rd one seems plausible to me in this case

I'll agree there is no ratism if you can give one good reason on why to downvote this blog when all the OP is doing is pointing out some bug

For some information beforehand : He was a pupil when he posted this

Also , if there's no ratism , then why do you care about it , and why don't you address this issue from your main account ?

Here's the paradox

Scared of getting downvotes , but why ?

If this blog is true and good then you will get upvotes on your real account because there is no ratism . Then why use your alt ?? (Ans -> ratism )

If what this blog says is false and bad , then there is ratism or else this blog would be considered true and good

You don't receive a message AFAIK

Interesting, I noticed everybody's contest 668 has been removed ,

and also codeforces isn't displaying the message saying ratings for previous round have been rolled back temporarily , this is a first for me

Hi I am new here at codeforces

How can you be new at codeforces when you have registered 4 months ago is beyond my imagination...

Hey , Congrats on the new color

In my region , if you mention a person's social or handle from any platform without his/her permission , then you have something to worry about

But if you prove that you have the permission of the person whose social you are mentioning (be it a cf handle , fb username , etc ) , or that you own the account that you are mentioning ...

That's why even websites like FB , Codeforces, etc can't publish a list like that ... they can only ban a user or block temporarily... So if even cf or fb can't do that , you can think for yourself ...

Although there a jail time isn't always necessary , depends on region , most of the regions(including mine i.e. bassau) charge fines and you are good to go within 2 or 3 days ...

I want cheaters to stop , but a better way would be to strengthen the plagiarism checker or drop their ratings ... PEACE

Your Rev. 1 comment didn't age well

That 24 hours deadline is something like a movie

If they are ferraris , then mike has to be the mercedes , it's the hybrid era

This is my first visit to this website

But your account shows registered 4 months ago , You visited codeforces at least once before writing this blog...

You are born to live

As if the suicidal person didn't know that ...

There is a reason for which he is trying to kill himself , focusing on removing the reason would be a better approach

You do know that your very comment contradicts what you are saying ...

What's the story behind the user name maroonrk ,

Cause as far as I can guess , he may be a fan of maroon 5 , because RK are his initials , so may be that's why maroon from maroon 5 and rk is his name ... making maroonrk

Pythaorean Roasts

Wait what ???

I have been studying maths for a while now , How come I don't know of this ... I only know the GCD roasts and some euler roasts

Nobody messes with InfoG

I read the blog title and the first thought that came to mind was : Did something happen to ecnerwala

How is ecnerwala ? Feels like he had a disease and is now recovering and that's why you were worried about his health

I think it should be Who is ecnerwala ? or How good is ecnerwala ?(Which shouldn't be a question as you can see him in the table on the right....)

difficult Di2A

Thank you , now excuse me while I go to sleep for 35 hours real quick

Thanks , the guy/girl already messaged me as to how he/she practices and gave me a couple of resources to practice and learn from

Your rating chart seems to be impressive as well ...

So , how do you practice ?

dawg

But he's a Moose

This comment did not age well

055D , I understand the first part of your username butt why do you like 1373

Have you used mods for skyrim ... Bethesda ruins the game , Its the mods that keep the game alive ..

Also , Have you ever been to the cloud district ?

Have you tried skyrim Dovahkiin ?

For anyone innocent who doesn't know what is going on.....

Don't search any of those numbers , cuz once you do ,

Then there's no coming back

_ADVICE FROM A VETERAN_

More like :

Venti_chai : no one can be this stupid

Harsh_jiit : Hold my brain

Actually it had much more downvotes before mentioned it ... you can see the comments

It was heavily downvoted ,

Up until jjang36524, mentioned it in a comment and made this blog , Honestly a good person imo.

Guy is a master and most probably has much more to do , but still made a blog to support what is right ...

Damn , the double standards of the community

I recently saw a blog of a newbie addressing the same issue around the same time as this guy and the guy had 3 downvotes .....

This was the blog

https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/80576

Same thing occurred when i was viewing someone's graph too

But i don't understand the downvotes

I started reading the first problem , and before i could even see the test cases , the round was over...

Its because You didn't follow the third advice of Mike

In case You Don't Remember (From an older blog)

Guidelines For Codeforces :

1 . Do not communicate with other participants, use another person's code for solutions/generators, share ideas of solutions and hacks .

2 . Do not attempt to deliberately destabilize the testing process and try to hack the contest system in any form .

3 . Downvote any blog or comment praising codechef , ain't none of that shit here .

4 . Do not use multiple accounts and will take part in the contest using your personal and the single account

.

Dont worry about it ,

For dv.jakhar to go to such lengths to protect snorkel

Its most probably snorkel second account

You dont need to livestream or anything like that ismail

This fool (dv.jakhar) didnt even fully edit the photo

It still shows UNREAD

It can only show unread while still viewing the message if you are the sender

So i guess he sent that message , and just replaced himself with you

Ummmm.... why does it show UNREAD

It can only show unread while still viewing the message if you are the sender

So .... dv.jakhar did you just swap yourself with ismail or what

Intriguing.... but highly disturbing

Everything is good and all but

what's up with your handle 055D

Codefrorces

Sorry my english bad but I think you type wrong spelling of codeforces

Did I just witness a murder ?

Is malaysia under china or what , Sorry I dont get it ....

Random Thoughts ,

When you want something , but it does not happen , and then you give up as a result , Doesnt it leave a hole , a kind of emptiness in your heart , that you have to live with until the moment you die ,

and then when you near the end of your life , you ask just one question to yourself :

And the answer to this question , you will never know ...

69

hmmmmm.......

Loser should install Windows xp sp 1(and use it ofc ) , and he should not use using namespace std and bits/stdc header file , and code on dev c++ (oooooohhhhh thats a hard one )

Damn , Never knew some comment can make me so motivated ....

Now that you said it in that way , I feel like I should start CP again ......

I will take a screenshot of your comment and make it my wallpaper

Wtf ? Why did you use dynamic programming as one of your tags .....

The only dp you are capable of is on another site
