Is it this easy nowadays to become Expert by CHEATING?

I have two experts with me abhishek_9036 and arnavsinha.er

The common thing between them is they both became experts within 10 contest and 40 problems and they both are cheater. They both already have been caught cheating as you can see number of skipped question in their submission.

Why their I'd are not getting banned?

UPD : Mhmd_Bakr third expert in cheating..

  • 5 days ago, # ^ | There is a considerable number of Indians who engage in the activity, but it would be regrettable to make sweeping generalizations, especially when the blog only cited one Indian out of three individuals. I believe the main reason for this issue is that those who cheat are not being effectively identified and penalized by Codeforces. However, if Codeforces were to introduce a new tag that labels users as cheaters beside their handle name, I think this could lead to a reduction in cheating due to fear of being exposed. It would be beneficial if individuals could suggest additional measures that Codeforces could implement to combat cheating. Please someone create a blog where users can submit the handles of suspected cheaters so it helps out codeforces team.

      • 5 days ago, # ^ | Great buddy. Amazing, consistency streak btw

        • 3 days ago, # ^ | Just trying something bro. Let's see if it does help or not. Hahahha,,,,Thank you.

  • 5 days ago, # ^ | Even in my Bangladesh there are a lot of cheaters. We should never blame a whole pond. It's just the bad fishes making the pond dirty.

    • 5 days ago, # ^ | Sorry for generalising. But Most of the usernames are Indian Username.

      • 4 days ago, # ^ | I Donot Understand Why Indian Do Cheating even they know that you not able to clear interviews without practice resume shortlisting doesnot guarantee Succeess

        • 4 days ago, # ^ | Just to get rejected in Interviews!

• 3 days ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   +3 i hope that one day you look back on this comment and realise how idiotic you sound by stereotyping a place that contains upwards of a billion people as "dumb". Many of these people have done great things and are great people, it is not right to call them this.

• 5 days ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   +8 These cheaters are disgrace to this platform

  • 5 days ago, # ^ | They are doing temp accounts and downvoting XD Actually your contribution is not affected at all xD indicating they are all unrated downs xD Point and laugh at the dumbs

• 4 days ago, # ^ | Those who are already well established in CP and are rated 1900+ their performances and ranks are never affected by cheaters. However, they affect the ranks of beginners those who are just starting leading them to self-doubt. It becomes difficult for them to reach experts despite having expert-level performance because if they get stuck on some question and the solution gets leaked, these cheaters just spam the solutions and decrease their ranks drastically.

• 4 days ago, # ^ | No you're wrong, some oranges and reds are accounts that many people use together. There's no way to detect them other than reading the code styles or looking for suspicious submission times, which isn't really accurate compared to your cheater raids, lol. The fun part is, everyone face the cheaters together so actually the rating system isn't affected. The cheaters don't cheat to make your rank (and only your rank) lower.

• 4 days ago, # ^ | according to your theory AshrafSustS19 is also a cheater but he isn't , some people just give contests very less to gain a certain rank and doesn't just start giving contests regularly after reaching expert or any other rank, they take time to give next contest and it's very normal.And no of such people aren't few ,they are so many .Even if you add the fact that AshrafSustS19 has practiced a lot in cf ,absence of that is also not a valid point to point someone as cheater because many people practice in different platforms and have very inconsistent submission chart in cf and that number is not small either . So by no mean your theory is good enough , it's naive and inappropriate

  • 4 days ago, # ^ | Bro I think that when you got a hell lot of contribution for that sympathy post about your disease, you got a habit of seeking attention. I mean it is a completely invalid and unnecessary argument you are making here. If someone will say that cheater uses a lot of meaningless comments and snippets then I think you will come crying that no no even jiangly uses snippet so it doesn't make him cheater and blah blah... The user you mentioned, his heat map shows that how dedicated he is so please Nafis I don't know what's wrong with you but get a life bro

    • 4 days ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   0 first of all I don't need attention from people because people's attentions mean nothing as they add no value , and for the contribution part I agree that yes I am lucky but I don't need that .And for your kind attention in my alt I had contribution 100+ where I created a blog about bitwise operations years ago .And lastly I have a life (yes it's painful to suffer from disease ) but I have it ,and I wish that you never have any sort of disease and live a healthy life. Now let me break you down logically : 1 .I didn't mention that AshrafSust is a cheater , I just said according to the theory of finding cheaters the commenter made is so naive that it will address AshrafSust as cheater too 2 . I did mention he has practiced a lot cf , maybe you couldn't see that with your eyes + I never said anything bad about him that you are bringing up that fact ; In fact I mentioned that even absence of that doesn't make him cheater 3 .Jiangly example isn't valid according to my logic too because I also mentioned the quantity of non-cheater that do a certain stuff ,maybe you overlooked it as well

  • 4 days ago, # ^ | I didn't say everyone who participates in contests irregularly is a cheater. It's just a good way to shortlist them. (at least from what I found) Don't see where the confusion is.

    • 4 days ago, # ^ | I just think chances of shortlisting innocent people is high here, that's it . Anyway bro leave it , you have cool pfp

• 4 days ago, # ^ | I spammed his comment section writing CHEATER but he blocked me Why don't we all do the same on his post and let everybody know..

  • 4 days ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   0 Post is deleted by the author. XD

    • 3 days ago, # ^ | He even deleted his cf I'd details from LinkedIn

  • 3 days ago, # ^ | Let's do this....everyone start commenting or msging him in LinkedIn as cheater..... He even 5* in Codechef..... We all know that right now becoming 5* is not easier.

• 3 days ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   +8 Shameless creatures! You can find this dumb cheater named mhmd_bakr doing so celebrating his cheatart and 1k copied problems in addition to being cyan by cheating https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mohamedbakr1_codeforces-competitiveprogramming-problemsolving-activity-7042254933294747648-mBRs?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop For anybody seeing this comment, check this blog and do ups because I get unexplained downs by fake accounts from cheaters

• 3 days ago, # ^ | how can we catch such cheaters who add garbage code to trick plag checkers any idea guys

  • 42 minutes ago, # ^ | Briliant, He put in the effort to define new variables such as ok0 = 0 and ok1 = 1 and proceeded to use the more confusing ok0 and ok1 variables (more typing!) instead of 0 and 1 in EVERY PART of the code. No programmer in the right mind would do such a thing. He hasn't even been plagged once. How ?

• • 4 hours ago, # ^ | First of all , i am also a 4 star on CodeChef and i am only doing contest on Codeforces and not solving problems other than contest on this platform , if you want to see my problems solved then come on CodeChef and Leetcode and see i have solved over 300 problems on CodeChef and 400+ on Leetcode

    • 60 minutes ago, # ^ | Wow. can you tell us ur leetcode and codechef ids ?

• 52 minutes ago, # ^ | tell us why you use uteus instead of dfs as your function name. Any programmer who does dfs will always name their DFS function as dfs

  • 36 minutes ago, # ^ | Same here with the cheat expert Mhmd_Bakr naming dp, left and right and solving A after 40 minutes XD 191147149 He even did his 1st div3 submission for the last div3 after 21 minutes

• 32 minutes ago, # ^ | For a guy who even got caught cheating twice in contest, you speak way too much man

  • 5 minutes ago, # ^ | At least he said something to defend himself XD Unlike the coward Mhmd_Bakr
