in connection with the latest contest I want to propose something

actually I didn’t write that round and I don’t care a lot about the quality of this contest itself. although I think the job of the codeforces administration is pretty much similar to the functionaries’ routine: coordinator kicks problemsetters for bad tasks, administration kicks coordinator for bad rounds. measuring the quality of problemset is coordinators’ duty, but the quality of the contest that has already been held can be measured with the help of constructive criticism from the community.

my suggestion is to make some kind of representative feedback form, maybe for GM/IGM+ users only. for example it might have points like “were there well-known problems?”, “were there poorly-formed statements?” etc, but with descriptions provided. I think that will help to analyse the competitions, take care of mistakes and improve the platform.
