so i've updated the site with a new rating system for problem solvers: you start at 30 kyu, and work your way up as high as you can by solving new problems. i think this should be fun as well as educational.
let me know how this feels for people -- and if the ratings seem appropriate for the difficulty of the problems.
note: your old rating graphs were based on a different starting point. they now start at 30 kyu.
(this is using the Elo rating system for both problems and users.)

Re: New rating system
Nice improvement, Adum!
The hardest is to get through 10k-2k problems. Apparently, most of invalid problems fall into this range.

Re: New rating system
let's get rid of the invalid problems!
Re: New rating system
Interesting fact, - if I edit a problem or look at the comments without solving it first, - my rating goes down. So, in order to fix an invalid problem, one has to sacrifice his rating. No wonder I'm still a 31k. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: New rating system
hmmn, i can try to modify that behavior for editors
Re: New rating system
Honestly, I don't hang on my rating. That was meant as a joke. Overall, it's a good idea to spice up the site. Let's not make it unnecessarily complicated.
Re: New rating system
I don't really get this ranking - initialy I was jumping between 30 and 19 kyu. Now I stuck on 25 and despite solving lot of old problems I can't move up.
Re: New rating system
I still have to upgrade to a pro account (soon, I promise!) but I kind of enjoy the weekly challenge to see how quickly I can climb up to a good rating, and I find the problems to be generally appropriately rated.
To GeoGo, maybe you need to reset your stats? That way, you'll start fresh, and climb up through easy problems to your correct rank: should go quite quickly.

Re: New rating system
Hi, my rating is still 3 stones weaker than my IGS rating. Is that normal? IGS rating is 6K.
Re: New rating system
My goproblems rank is 4 kyu now. I am finding some of the 3 to 5 kyu problems easier than some of the 10 kyu problems for some reason.
