Let me ask admin. I do not recall the decisions taken in previous cases.

Its time we have a downvote button in codechef discuss.

No, codeforces and stackoverflow has taught everyone many things. And having downvote button can be good for community is not one of them.

I wonder whats the stats of your traffic?

I think you should speak to your lawyer and demand codechef, admin and everyone for all the damage they have done to your humanity

If you are solving any question then it’s not a waste of time…
Every question teaches you some or the other thing…

I don’t see any loss whatsoever … if you have invested your 1:30 hours to solve some problems which couldn’t be submitted then it’s not a loss … you have exercised your mind in that way… and stop crying for small things … You are pretending as if you dont even have time to breathe …

People coming here for crying out on rating can compensate in one single challenge and can surpass it in two challenges. Why the hell come here for wasting your time??

Whenever a contest go unrated, it counted in streak. If they miscalculate, you can send them an email stating that the contest was unrated and you have competed in all the contest.

No laddus, sorry!

I don’t think downvoting makes codeforces and stackexchange communities bad. It prevents shitposting, low quality posts, wrong answers, inappropriate content, etc in the community.
Also, in stackecxchange communities, downvoting an answer cost you negative reputation, so it prevents mindless negative voting.
And, how many people do you think who “liked” this post actually liked the fact that Lunchtime is unrated?

ay2306 · March 29, 2020, 3:38pm

Yeah, I agree. Your points are correct.

CC should have a down-vote button, so the grays and greens solve more problems instead of posting random shit on discuss

Isn’t it a good idea to introduce a registration process just like all other OJs have? This way, admins have some guess to how much scale-up or scale-down the server and they will well prepare for that.

Sorry for asking this question again on CC discuss, I asked about this on codeforces blog, but seems like CodeChef_admin profile admin doesn’t reply much messages on CF.

PS: I’m sure CC do have some good reason(s) to not introduce early and after registration process like CodeForces and other OJs, but I couldn’t think of any disadvantage of having it, specially in case of short-timed contest like Cook-Off, Lunchtime etc.

/cc @admin
