I noticed two users who have cheated in this Round (Educational Codeforces Round 92) and I want to name them here. I request the Codeforces community to take strict action against them those who degrade the quality of this beautiful platform. With internship season round the corner, Codeforces is often taken as an accountable platform by Companies and these people should be punished.

Their handles are: armypellegrini, avendraminiOfficial

This is so disgusting.

Look at their submissions. They use very tactful tricks to avoid plagiarism checks, such as swapping lines and changing the name of the variables, but the logic of their code is identical. I request the community here to take strict action on them. Please ban their accounts permanently.

For Problem B: 88318820 88327149

For Problem C: 88332428 88339169

And this didn't happen only in this contest, most of us struggle to become green, instead it seems that avendraminiOfficial is blue only thanks to the help of armypellegrini! He even got "skipped" verdict and no rating change in a contest because he was performing badly and he asked the help of his batchmate, instead he deserved a huge rating drop! 83646680

Besides, I would also request the community here to look forwards towards more efficient plagiarism checks. Such rackets will continue to occur if we don't take an action. Codeforces is trusted because people don't cheat here. I hope that accountability is still maintained and strict action is taken against these handles.
