Successful hacks makes Codeforces better. Here are at least two reasons:

  • A successful hack helped stable ProblemSet
  • The defenders can quickly find bugs in their own code through the test provided by hackers

So hackers make contributions to the community, they deserve some contribution.

UDP1:

VLamarca's number of hacks(number of problem hacks) also a good suggestion.

If it does increases contribution, $$$\frac{100 x}{100 + x}$$$ contribution may be simple nice, where $$$x$$$ is number of problem hacks.

Fade hacks mentioned by Real_Father_Of_Ash is really annoying, it does know how to improve, but I believe that people who are loving codeforces and care about contribution won't do like this.

Really hope admin: MikeMirzayanov and geranazavr555 could take it into consideration.

If it'll give me contribution, I'll make 10 fake ids and put

if(t==696942)cout<<"Yay! FREE CONTRIBUTION";

in all Div3, EDU contests.

Maybe a simple number on the profile "number of hacks" would be more apropriate

    I think adding it to the profile will really make it crowded. It is a good idea to add it under the graph of solved problems though.

I don't think that it works that way...
