Grey Lives Matter!
By Nickir, 3 years ago, In English

On behalf of my unheard grey brothers I demand that we respect users with low rating!

Each day we see toxic comments like "if you're grey your opinion doesn't matter" or "I don't think grey advice would help me to advance to be blue".

No more!

Also grey users don't want to be shamed when they call programming tasks for what they truly are: the questions!

The high-ranked have consolidated much of the rating in the hands of a few! They use their talent and good education to boost and boost their ranks!

They create multi accounts to speed up the rating inflation and to get in the top-10 rated list with two, three of their accounts! They steal the rating of mere low rated people!

They cooperate with the administration which mostly ignores the high-rated multi accounts and cheating!

They create rounds like "Goodbye 2023" in order to destabilise the rating system even more and to make the low rated lose even more points!

We have nothing to lose but our grey colour! Let's consolidate in our struggle against the ratist!

Grey Lives Matter!

No dude, although we shouldn't look down on grey lives, we should also keep in mind that #AllLivesMatter

    These are not mutually exclusive though? People who want to see less toxicity towards greys in general doesn't mean they hate higher rated users. They are just drawing attention to this.

You are absolutely right, there is a ratism in this community.

By the way, since there are so many Div-2 participants there might be some false positive greys, greens if they are not fast enough to solve the problems fast although they might be capable of solving the harder problems

если ты серый становись красным. Токсичность дает мотивацию, иначе нету смысла ;P

As a fellow grey, I appreciate your message. Few from the high-rated elite understand about the systemic and societal oppresion of grey people on Codeforces. Down with the ratists! Seize the means of rating production!

I am not in love with grey. I am in love with the idea of being grey.

I believe that grays should publish their own problems, they don't need oranges to do that >:(

all ratings are equal. Some are just more equal than others.

I like how every comment from grey users in this blog is downvoted.

I propose adding 50 extra titles for greys, to catch all the nuances of the grey lives (that matter). Represented on the color scheme by 50 shades of grey.

"NoLivesMatter" sounds more appropriate.
