"Cheating Competition"
By MaxValgen_, history, 5 months ago, In English

It's quite clear that cheating has significantly increased in today's competition. The situation keeps getting worse every now and then. What used to be a competitive programming contest now looks more like a competition for who can cheat better. I know many people have talked about this before, but today, the solutions up to the fourth problem were readily available on YouTube. It's become a collective cheating party, and spare me the foolish advice to focus on solving and improving myself. My first variable in problem A you! Here, we are competing with each other, not with ourselves.

There's nothing you can do about it.

Cheaters don’t understand why this codeforces is needed. Many cheaters believe that the higher the rating, the cooler and better they are than others. But for example, there will be some kind of programming Olympiad, where they will sit in the office and solve the Olympiad, they will not solve it. And codeforces was created to raise the level of programming, coding and logic development.

If you are a cheater and you read, forget about cheating. Cheating is not the Slavic way. You will be a lizard who betrays the great nation of Codeforces. People who decide for themselves will be stronger than you at some Olympics where you won’t cheat.

    besides, the cheaters are not able to solve 1700+ problems anyways, so if one's level is >=1800, it wont affect them anyways

      You might be right if there are no more cheaters Because due to this situation, there are many people who will not be able to reach 1400 at all it is not a good way to solve this problem

        "it is not a good way to solve this problem", unfortunately, there is NO way to solve this problem, people can easily cheat.

        however, mass cheating happen only till 1600-1700 rated problems (some higher rated people might cheat as well, but they are limited, maybe around 1% of CM+ would be cheating IMO). So, just reach a level where you are able to solve 1800 and above rated problems consistently and then cheating wont affect you.
