A large number of people who assume that "competitive programming will secure a good job" are frequently involved in Cheating. I think Codeforces should keep the verification option, which allows users to confirm their accounts using official papers such as birth certificates, student ID cards, and other kinds of identity.And only the verified users can do rated contests.

If a user is discovered to have cheated, they should be permanently prohibited from participating in rated contests. In addition, I recommend creating a Hall of Shame section that displays the details of people found guilty of cheating. This would allow companies that recruit candidates based on competitive programming skills to detect and reject people who has past experience of cheating.

What are your thoughts about this?
