Suggestion: Call for reservation system

As you all know, that majority of Codeforces users are Indian. 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 $$$s$$$ being the level 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 higher rating, and

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

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

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 inferior caste individuals in Master league is < 55%, inferior caste individuals from candidate master will be floated up to Master

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

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.
