Comments are a mechanism for the users to interact with the problem setting panel, the admins and other users to get their queries answered. Hence, it is important that the users are responsible while posting a comment so that those who answer the comments have to go through only meaningful and less number of comments. The likelihood of getting a reply to your comment also gets increased in such a scenario.

We have observed that a huge number of comments are being posted during our contests which are not relevant and could be avoided. It makes the life of our problem setters very difficult as they have to scan through all such comments to reply to only the ones which are relevant.

Hence we have come up the a comment posting guidelines which we expect each one of us to adhere to.

During a live/running contest:

• You cannot share your logic, answer, input, code, hint, algorithm, etc.

• You cannot share the run-time or space complexity of your solution.

• You cannot ask hints to solve the problem.

• You cannot ask more test cases.

• You cannot ask for help for finding bugs in your code.

• Do not comment if it is absolutely not necessary to do so.

• Read all the previously posted comments for a problem before posting your comment to avoid asking the same query twice.

• Read our FAQ thoroughly before asking a question. If the FAQ does not have your question answered, only then post your query.

• You can post questions regarding any clarification in the problem statement. However, please read the problem statements multiple times before posting your query. We take great care in trying to come up with unambiguous problem statements and most of the times it has been found the the query asked is answered by a careful reading of the problem statement.

• Your comment should be relevant to the page on which you are posting it.
  

• Any question or query that is not relevant to the problem or the page that you are on, you should not post it as a comment there. All such questions should be asked in this forum.
