war on contribution

Revision en1, by CarViz, 2026-03-25 16:13:06

Hello again codeforces, we need to have a talk about the current state of contribution farming. I have noticed that lately, some users (that I will not explicitly name) have been farming upvotes, using the topic of AI and cheaters to do so, and it is simply something I cannot stand for. As codeforces' most truthful author, I want it to be clear that I will not post something agreeable simply for it to be agreeable. I make an effort to post thought provoking blogs that will spark creative thinking and interaction between commenters. When I see blogs doing the bare minimum yet being agreeable as possible to farm contribution, it makes my blood boil.

Some notable blogs that I see doing this:

AI is ruining Codeforces in a different way

Dead Codeforces Theory

Codeforces needs a Better Rules Page
