Extraordinary new idea for Codeforces

Revision en1, by AdornedLogarithm13, 2026-07-06 21:51:19

Guys!

Yesterday I noticed that I had posted the exact same blog as another user on Codeforces. What a coincidence! But what came next, I never expected. The other blog (written by an orange coder) got 129 upvotes. Mine got -15 votes and got drafted for some reason. I find this very, very unfair.

This made me come up with a whole new concept. Something that exists everywhere in Codeforces but noone has given it a name. I am here to save you. Introducing:

Ratism!

Ratism is the bias of upvoting blogs from users with higher ratings and downvoting blogs from users with lower ratings. If we give this problem a name, I think more people will stop themselves before automatically downvoting blogs from lower rated users... Let's all fight against Ratism. A product of AdnornedLogarithm13!

See you all at the IOI!
