Nevermind. When I wrote this comment, this blog had around 30 upvotes and the one I linked had 30 downvotes [know more]. But now both of them has similar number of upvotes and hence this comment doesn't makes sense anymore.

People like Errichto , SecondThread are much higher contributors if we remove spam comments of Monogon . If you say it's due to making contests , Ashishgup has made more contests this year than Monogon and is still not top of contributor list,

I have seen newbie , pupils getting -20 votes for blog in which they want help . I don't think such blogs are worse than this blog and most comments of Monogon.

UPD : As Ari pointed out Both Ashishgup and Monogon have equal number of contests .But out of 4 contests that Monogon has written , he was main author of the blog in only 3 of them . Also one cannot deny that most of his contribution is from spamming . I am not against if people vote his comments for just saying "hi" but what i wanted to point out that blogs asking for help should not get that downvote .

UPD2 : Monogon My intention was not to offend you. Your contests and editorials are nice and great source of learning . But my major focus was that beginner on this website get -20 for asking help whereas useless comments and blogs get lot of upvotes. This can be improved by bringing rules similar to Stack Exchange websites.

    Hello Mr. Codeforces commenter. While I can't make you change your mind on who contributes more to the community, this claim

    Ashishgup has made more contests this year than Monogon and is still not top of contributor list

    Is straight-up false. Both Ashishgup and Monogon have been authors in exactly four Codeforces rounds this year, those being

    In the case of Ashishgup, while Monogon was an author of

    Moreover, all four of Ashishgup's rounds were Div. 2 only, while all four of Monogon's rounds were rated for both divisions (and combined in the case of the last Global Round). This is not to say that Ashishgup's work in preparing contests is any less valuable, but contests that are rated for both divisions tend to get a larger number of votes on their announcement (even more in the case of Global Rounds).

    Have a good day Mr. Codeforces commenter!

      This is completely fine point. But how do you balance the contribution made by people like Errichto who makes education content on regular basis and has a Lot of already posted educational content in the past , and SecondThread who also has recently started to make educational content, people like pashka who have a lot of content in EDU and is teaching on twitch for free. I mean how do you even can say these people deserve to be lower here. And also if contest are a way to judge then vovuh usually has a contest every second or third week. Monogon just did a playoff with a "As a tester" comment and it worked. I am open to criticism if I said something wrong here.

        Well as I said, I'm not trying to change your mind on who is contributing more to the community. If you think the people who you are pinging in your comment are good contributors, go ahead and upvote them.

        As for the case of Vovuh that's really on you guys, Div 3 announcements tend to get a lot fewer upvotes than regular Div 2 and Div 1 rounds. If you believe Vovuh deserves to have more contribution, go ahead and upvote him too.

      Another important point... The editorial in Ashishgup's contests was published by FastestFinger so the contribution got divided among the two. So that's another reason why Ashish's contribution is not as high as Monogon

        Yep, that's a good point. In all of the rounds from Monogon, he published the editorial, and he also published three of the round announcements, so it's natural that he'll be getting more upvotes.

    Also one cannot deny that most of his contribution is from spamming

    Blogs have a much higher weight than comments. The global round 12 announcement and tutorial probably gave me +10 contribution, while a joke comment with hundreds of upvotes only gives +0 or +1.

    People like Errichto , SecondThread are much higher contributors if we remove spam comments of Monogon

    Of course, you are correct that number of upvotes isn't a true measure of one's contribution to the community. Do you have a suggestion to change the way it is calculated? Otherwise, arguing about who "deserves'' contribution is kind of pointless. The only thing I get for being top contributor is more spam in my inbox, so I fail to see how this is some kind of grand injustice.
