Upvotes & Downvotes for Codeforces Contests & Gyms
By Sharon, history, 5 years ago, In English

While waiting for my late teammate gigabuffoon (please spam him and tell him to get over here) to start a virtual participation of a Gym, I was trying to select a good problem set to run. I accidentally selected SEERC 2017, and my other teammate shamed me for selecting a bad contest. Someone else in the room suggested the idea of having upvotes and downvotes for a contest so you can see how people feel about the quality of the problems. This will help select good contests for virtual participation.

If you guys liked SEERC, you should harass I_love_Harpae in PMs.

How do you guys feel about this idea?

I think this is a good idea.

Sure, why not for individual problems as well?

    Yes!! now I can downvote all Div2B's where I fail Systests :)

    But seriously it would be cool to see what problems get upvoted over time, maybe we will be able to sort problems by upvotes and see these problems become Codeforces classics.
