Adding tags to problems

revealer 2009-07-11 06:42:09 UTC #1

I think it would be great if you could implement some sort of tag system for problems, so you could search them by tag. This way you could find all sorting problems grouped together, all math problems grouped together, all graph problems grouped together and so on. What do you think?

Could be a good idea; but you would need to be careful. Classifying a problem as DP or Greedy would be a huge hint as to how to solve a problem, so I wouldn't think those sort of tags would be a good idea.

Maybe we can only give hints/tags to problem which has already been solved by more than, for example, 80 users.

Tags should be reviewed by problemsetters to avoid big hints.

Maybe people should be able to choose if they wanted to see the tags or not. And even if there are hints enabled, they should be not too big so that they wouldn't strip out the fun. If people really need help they can ask in the forums.

tags, improved user profile, tuned ranks and other useful features we plan to intruduce in September/October
