I recently found out how the friends system work on Codeforces.
First I thought there would be some friend request and then accept system, but there is not.
It's simply a way to stalk someone ;)
Gentle Suggestion to MikeMirzayanov : The "Friend of" should be changed to "Followers" . So that it will show something like "Followers : 43,611 users" . As "Friend of: 43,611 users" is giving wrong interpretation that tourist is friend of that many users ;)
What are your thoughts ?
tourist... tourist isn't my friend?
What about you then... are you not my friend?
Lame joke
I can be your friend if you support botswana
+1. Someone (indirectly) hacked me because "[they were] looking for someone in the friend list that has hashes". I find it inappropriate to call this "friend list"
