Shamefull new cheating tactic!
By mridul1809, history, 5 years ago, In English

Hey everyone!

Today there was a blog by cerberus87 which stated that they needed testers for a contest they were planning to host in their school.

We emailed them that we would be happy to test the problems for them.

Then the sent us the following question :

To our disappointment, the question was part of the ongoing hackerearth circuits : Link

We commented about this on the blog (as visible from the above screenshot) but now the blog has been deleted by the user!

It was a cheap trick and users should refrain from doing this! If you need help solving a problem, please ask after the contest or at-least have the courtesy to ask it upright!

The platform of Codeforces was meant to help,learn and grow! I request on behalf of everyone in the community to avoid this kind of behaviour in future!

Thanks and happy coding :)

This is a shame! Codeforces is such a good platform for the community. You should not be cheating here.

Student from Moscow High School with a handle resembling an Indian user + kernal raval, isn't it enough to make a clear situation?

    I think any cheater (at least in CP) has 98% probability of being Indian.

        No, it is just my opinion based on my own observations & experience.

          Have you counted the observations that from total x such cases you found 98% of them Indians. Don't fuckoff for contribution and attention. Atleast have some respect for your country.

            I'm not the one fucking off for contribution. Remove the contribution part and I'll still comment. Secondly, if I actually do calculate the percentage, it comes out be 100 and not 98. Lastly, I do respect my country but well, my countrymen, not so much.

              Don't spit if you don't have any solid proof. You just want attention.

Hmm .. So you are up-voting your own comment from your fake account (picture 1)? That is cheating as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Or did you actually ask someone to take the screenshot for you lol)

    This blog is deleted. Probably his friend had a screenshot or was able to get a cashed page. What's so strange about that?
