Hi everyone,
The story is, I published my proposion on 28th August 2021, and it haven't been any contributor attached to it yet. Since 8 months is a long time, I'm wondering some questions here:
How long did other authors have waited until some coordinators attached to their round?
Is the queue really long?
If there are any admin reading this, is my round rejected for some reasons? I have written for about ~20 problems, I would really sad if it is not in your plan.
The ID of the our contest is: 1303.
Thanks for reading.
UPD: It's now round Codeforces Round #812.
Nice theme :O
See this comment.
The quality of emorgan's problems before merging the proposals was high imo (there were already problems C, D, E, G of the final round). If you are waiting a lot, it doesn't mean that the problemset is rejected.
There are some ways to skip the queue (especially for experienced problemsetters), but otherwise you have to wait a lot.
From this blog:
This is indicative of what the biggest problem with the current problemsetting system is, which is a complete lack of transparency and communication. I had to wait around 10 months in order to get assigned a coordinator, and in the last few months of that period, I tried reaching out to coordinators / making comments on codeforces to try to figure out what was going on, but nobody ever responded to me.
If the queue is long, then I don't mind waiting a lot, there is no way around it. But what isn't acceptable is
I know one thing: The queue isn't that long, but the builtin system is more like a priority queue: Problem setters that previously set are accepted much faster due to a possible trust factor. New authors will inevitably wait much longer.
Yay, I see your name appear on the contests page, so it is true now!
