People everywhere have been requesting a rollback due to the influx of cheaters, but I have a few reasons to oppose this idea.
Rollbacks make honest programmers happy. This is a problem, as if honest programmers are happy, they will continue down the cs path and eventually become employed in an office job, where they will lose their will to live. Making sure honest programmers stay depressed will convince them to find better jobs instead.
As we all know, cheaters are soft little crybabies. Ignoring their contribution to deflating our rating, keeping us humble and showing us we are terrible at programming would make them feel bad. They are simply trying to show us how we are inferior to a bunch of binary.
1387 is a cooler number than 1410. 1387, my rating, is cool, divisible by 19 and 73, so basically a prime number fanboy. Its so cool and unique. If we get rollbacks, my rating will likely go up to around 1410. Not only will this give me the way less cool specialist title compared to the awesome pupil title, but 1410 is super boring. Its divisible by 2, 3, and 5. I mean how generic can a number be? This isn't just my problem either. Studies show that lower numbers tend to be cooler, more known about, and more widely used than their larger counterparts. Who would want to have a less cool rating?
Codeforces users have been spending precious brainpower trying to determine or asking when the next rollback is happening. This wastes valuable energy that can instead be used for grinding. By removing rollbacks, these users will no longer have to waste their brainpower on such matters, and can instead solve the collatz conjecture.
Rollbacks will encourage new users to join codeforces. A consistent rollback schedule would give a sense of stability and encourage new programmers to join codeforces. This would be a problem, for a similar reason as reason 1. More codeforces users->more cs people->less will to live. Instead, we should keep up a hostile environment that affirms the societal reputation of coders as "dorks", and work against this incoming and toxic trend of seeing them as "smart and logical people."
