Being Insulted based on rating no voice ?
By anthonymcqueen21, history, 5 years ago, In English

Hello i would appreciate to not be insulted based my low rating compared to everyone else and for those who in a rush to judge someone when they clearly dont know them.

"hey man, you don't know me but I've been interested in your profile for a while now. from everything you post, you keep up the facade that you're very interested in competitive programming, but from your submission history, it seems like you don't even read the problem statement **** just making sure, this entire thing is a joke right? no offense intended, I'm just curious lol"

Thank you USER: askdfjlas a "Expert" who insults people who are below him this is not needed in the community.

So codeforces you have a policy on this issue of insults i hope you hold this user accountable.

But after i posted i noticed i get ridiculed for pointing this out, so does this platform not recognize low ranked coders, and only hold a special place for high ranking coders ?.. So don't we have a voice or opinion about these issues or are we automatically shut out because we are not ranked well sounds hypocritical to me ?

so maybe my phrasing was kind of harsh lol but I was referring to submissions like this one: https://codeforces.net/contest/1102/submission/48138634

where the code has nothing to do with the problem lol

I'm just asking whether or not these are troll submissions or jokes, or maybe you uploaded the wrong file, but it seems like there are a few of these. the first time I noticed this was during a topcoder round where your solution just printed out the name of the problem, and found it odd that you seemed so much into competitive programming, yet produced these kinds of submissions. I legit don't have any ill will towards you, can we be friends lol

  1. Codeforces has a rule "Rudeness, insults and intimidation are prohibited.".
  2. However, I would not consider the message an "insult". The user even say that "no offense intended".
    Looking at your submission history, the user probably just meant to say "why do you have so many submissions that is obviously wrong (compilation error, wrong answer on sample test cases)?"
    I know that won't have any penalty in a contest, but a reasonable user would not submit them anyway, because it's usually faster to test them locally (except for interactive problems?) and it causes unnecessary stress on Codeforces machines. Sometimes Codeforces have very long queue already, so don't make the situation worse.

P/s. If you submit interactive problems on Codeforces and the sample test cases doesn't run correctly, you will get very detailed verdict.
