Suggestion: Call for a Reservation based Rating System

As you all know, that majority of Codeforces users are Indian. Hence, it is important that the community is welcoming to the under-privileged section of India. As a community, we should work for the upliftment of the unfortunate lesser beings, and so I suggest a reservation-like rating system, which will not only uplift the needy, but also make Competitive Programming a more popular thing in general:

Denote $$$s$$$ as the depth of the user in the caste strata (1-indexed)

1) General Category: Start with 0 rating, normal rating delta

2) Other (inferior) Categories: Start with rating = $$$1200 + 200 * s$$$,

The delta changes shall be defined by:

$$$\Delta > 0 \Rightarrow \Delta * s$$$

$$$\Delta < 0 \Rightarrow \Delta / s$$$

Additionally, people with profile photo of god (Ambedkar) shall be exempted from negative delta for up to 5 contests

Further, it should be a mandate to have an equal representation of all categories in higher ranks like candidate master and above. The following scheme is proposed:

  • No more than 45% of candidate-masters should be from general category

  • If the current number of lower caste individuals in Master league is < 55%, inferior caste individuals from candidate master will be floated up to Master

  • If the current number of lower caste individuals in Candidate Master league is < 55%, inferior caste individuals from Expert will be floated up to Candidate Master

Furthermore, the highest rank shall be replaced with the color $$$\color{blue}{\text{BLUE}}$$$ to embrace the glory of the Bheem army and to welcome an era of inclusion in the community.

Note that in the given scheme, no harm is done to the general category, only the representation of inferior castes is increased. Let us join hands and make codeforces a more inclusive community, and help the unfortunate lesser intelligent individuals have a fair share of representation.
