About codforces system
By sepanta, history, 7 years ago, In English

hi all.

did you know that you can avoid losing rate if you have another account? if u accepted a code with your original account, you just have to accept it again in your fake account with exactly the same code and system will skip your code and make round unrated for you. i think this skipping system won't stop cheating because you can copy a code and just change one word of it and it will not skip. it seems that it just make cheating easier.

UPD:pls read comments then dislike. thanks.

Says the cheater who uses a fake account to let him hack. link

On a side note, yes it is a online contest, so it is impossible to prevent cheating altogether, so all we can do is try our best to stop it.

        I don't dislike you. Though, your 'funny accident' have caused people some rating, so it may be natural for them to hate on you. As I said, it is an online contest, so it's limited on what codeforces can do. Suppose if I were to discuss the solution with my friends and stuff, it would be completely impossible to detect right? Though for this case, if you like, you can make a blog post to report them with evidence. There's nothing much cf can do to prevent this sort of cheating right?
