touristkabaap's blog

Hi everyone, I am a competitive programmer, and I have some suggestions. Lately, whenever I visit Codeforces, I find a lot of repulsive stuff in the community, like rampant spamming of useless blogs, extremely toxic comments, etc. which do not give a good impression to the veterans and beginners of the community alike. Hence, I have a few suggestions to improve the quality of the community. I hope my suggestion will help the CF community improve significantly.

I think Codeforces community has expanded too much, and we deserve to get rid of accounts which spread cancer on codeforces, and gather a lot of downvotes. The accounts with lowest contribution should be banned periodically, say regularly in a week or so. I believe we can set a fixed number of accounts to block at a time, say 10 accounts with lowest contribution. Or maybe, all accounts with -100 contribution or less(more?) can be banned.

Currently, the handles with -100 or less are (in descending order of ratings) : PolarFlea, Algo_Rhythm, hsc_boyfriend, lperovskaya, r_pi, finneganpierson and shejibri. I don't know why these handles should be even present here. In this list, some people have had positive contributions in the past, but now even they have resorted to mindless cancer and trolling. Such obnoxious actions shouldn't be tolerated on Codeforces.

Looking forward to suggestions, constructive/destructive criticism, and (hopefully) fun and witty trolling.

    I guess greys should be banned too, particularly those who drop from blue to grey to make a mockery of rating graphs.

What's your stand on the other blog you posted? Isn't that a cancer too?

I don't think contribution is a measure of member's usefulness for community. You can have one or two innocent comments which may just bring your rating to -100 without any reason.

Btw, what's the issue with lperovskaya? In her blog all the entries are quite popular, it's very unclear what's the reason for the negative contribution.
