'(There probably won't be a part 3)'

why? because the world ends?

no part 3, i am crying, my life is ruined

I think we should make the rules clearer somewhere. Not that the current rules are bad, but they are apparently not understood clearly enough by a certain part of the community, and should be more explicit. A lot of people seem to think, or at least have a tiny hope, that if they did something like discussing with a friend or submitting the same code from multiple accounts, then it is somehow okay, and the only blockable offense is directly copying the code from someone else. The "rule about third-party code..." blog has hundreds of comments filled with weak excuses and there are hundreds more scattered around round announcements, editorials, author PMs and even completely unrelated blogs. If even 20% of these people could be dissuaded from writing such comments, I would consider it a great success.

For example, I would explicitly write the following somewhere:

1. Discussing a problem, even implementation or "general approaches" during the contest counts as cheating.
2. Submitting the same code from multiple accounts counts as cheating: if you started participating on one account, do not switch to another account.
3. Unintentionally leaking your code counts as cheating: it is your responsibility to make sure your code does not reach the hands of cheaters.
4. If you are guilty, writing an apology or saying that "this won't happen again" will not grant you an one-time exception or restore your ratings.

I genuinely felt bad for the wholesome one(((

It is even funnier than trolling them in Telegram :)

Thanks for this blog! Had a very good time reading this.

Ha! Cheaters in Atcoder will also be banned. See this post.

If you read the cheater blog you CAN find other funny ones!
