Hello Codeforces!↵
↵
I have been in Codeforces for about 7 weeks. And I love it.↵
↵
Exciting problems, understandable and interesting problems, comments, blogs, .....↵
↵
Codeforces, in my opinion, is the perfect environment for attending contests and solving problems for people like me.↵
↵
And as I am using Codeforces, I got a bunch of dumb ideas that I think MikeMirzayanov shouldn't apply it into Codeforces, but if he **did**, it would be quite interesting.↵
↵
So today I would like to share them with you guys!↵
↵
(Please don't take this blog too seriously, this is just my ideas. And sorry for bad English, I guess)↵
↵
1. Rating↵
==================↵
I quite agree with this website's rating. But "the International Master"'s rating ranges make nonsense, I think. Because others need at least 200 ratings to reach new colors (or new rates), while this need 100 ratings to reach Grandmaster. Also, we need a 2100 rating to reach Master, which I think is a little bit too high. So, the rating should change like this:↵
↵
1800-2000: Candidate Master;↵
↵
2000-2200: Master;↵
↵
2200-2400: International Master.↵
↵
That would be better for me.↵
↵
2.Contests↵
==================↵
↵
I love contests and problems here. A little bit queue and "hard to understand" problems are okay for me.↵
↵
But the delta is a little bit too unfair, especially in Div.4. If you attended Codeforces Round #640, you might know that some pupils or even newbies have become Experts, which is too much.↵
↵
So to make ratings fairer, I think we should make ranges of deltas higher in Div 1,2 than Div 3,4, like if in Div 2, top 1 increases 300 in ratings, in Div 4 should be like 100.↵
↵
And also I don't think there should be too many subtasks, because it would be annoying if you can't solve the first subtask, I guess.↵
↵
3.Emojis↵
==================↵
I am pretty much surprised that the comment section in blogs doesn't include emojis. If it has emojis, the comment section would be more diverse. Yes, I know that emojis aren't sound good at a coding website, but I want more than just :) and xD, ok?↵
↵
4.Friend requests↵
==================↵
Let's stop a little bit to see tourist's profile.↵
↵
↵
↵
You can see that he now has 25,645 friends.↵
↵
But most of them are not **friends**.↵
↵
They are pretty much **fans**.↵
↵
Friends need friendship, in my opinion. According to Wikipedia, friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people. And most of the tourist's "fans" are not.↵
↵
I think that there should have "friend requests" to distinguish friends and fans. That would be much better to communicate with your "real" friends and not being affected by "fans". I personally like this idea the most.↵
↵
Okay that's it! That's some of my ideas about Codeforces.↵
↵
**And once again, this is just my ideas, don't take it too seriously.**↵
