Let’s put an end to this.

Hi there! This blog is aimed particularly at people who plagiarise their codes, and people who raise their pitchforks at these “alleged cheaters”. Which is worse?

Before you cheat, think about why you’re doing this. It’s all just virtual rating, my friend. I know things can be tough, especially with CP, it can be frustrating when you don’t see a visible rating improvement after hours of grinding those pesky algorithms. But that’s life. You don’t look at your life and try to think of hacks to avoid your life. You live it, and endure the hardships that life throws at you. Perseverance is vital for success. Hang in there. In due time, you’ll get the colour you always wished for, and when you do, you’ll feel euphoric and looking back on your years on this platform, you’d be grateful to your past self for not taking the easy way out.

Also, for those of you who take such great price in calling themselves “cheat busters”, “plag hunters”, and other fancy names, I have two things to say to you. Firstly, find a hobby. You’re wasting your time on CF blogs with your detective work. And secondly, Plagiarising code isn’t something to be proud of, and that’s precisely why we have plagiarism checks after every contest ends. But cheating doesn’t make a person bad per se. You don’t know the other end of things. Maybe they want to look good in their friend circle, or just are tired of putting in the hours to no “virtual” avail. I urge you to look into the humanitarian aspect of things.

Take this as a plea if you may, but let’s just learn and make the world a better place for it.
