I am writing to report an incident of cheating by PinkieRabbit during the recent contest 1965 on Codeforces. PinkieRabbit asked help about problem D from others during the contest, which is definitely against the contest rules.
I have attached the evidence of the cheating behavior in the appendix, please read it. This evidence clearly shows the communications PinkieRabbit had with another person during the contest. It is a contest recording video published after contest by himself. As a former fan of PinkieRabbit, after seeing this video, I was shocked by how dishonest PinkieRabbit was. I believe such actions undermine the integrity of the competition and the platform as a whole. win114514 cheated by grouping up in contest 1905, finally punished by skipping. Therefore, I respectfully request that Codeforces take appropriate action against PinkieRabbit to maintain the fairness of the contests on Codeforces.
He only cheated in one problem this round, so I suggest make a mild punishment. I suggest make this round unrated for PinkieRabbit or skip only problem D (which is very appropriate as far as I am concerned, after which he can also get positive rating) as a consequence of this behavior. Wish this can remind him not to cheat again. This be beneficial to prevent such incidents in the future.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know via Codeforces talk if you need any further information or clarification.
UPD:
Here is complete text of the video, feel free to translate it by AI. Note that it is not revised by human and for reference only.
Only in Chinese slang did “you're my dad” use to express thank and generally for fun.
“I remind you that this video is to be uploaded, with that section, wish it not be censored.” refers not to the cheat part but to an erotic joke about jiangly, I think it is irrelevant and not good to post it on Codeforces, so I didn't post it.
I guess same as below, I want to sincerely apologize for posting something so useless. I consider this as a learning experience for myself. Once again, sorry about this.
he posted it on bilibili reta
https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/129211 <- click to explain why you downvote pls. thanks! once again, I apologize if it was offensive.
i live on sun
insightful, sir. How you bear the heat ?
In the Chinese mainland (also where I am), because of the government’s network blockade, we can’t use YouTube, instead we can only use China’s domestic video websites, like Bilibili. So there’s no doubt why this video will appear on Bilibili.
I can understand your question, but commenting it without thinking will make a bad impression and reflect your laziness — you should be able to get this information just by searching online.
I'm very sorry about this. It was very inconsiderate of me to post something like this which could've been perceived as racist, and yes, I will definitely make sure to search online before posting something like this.
I wholeheartedly agree with all of your opinions except for the last one. Please downvote :)
I change my mind about your path to positive contribution :skul:
can you read English ? he clearly gave link to stream in the blog ...
and this
well i am not the one asking stupid questions
dang broski got brutalized for making a joke. that's rough.
Why would he record himself cheating?
Firstly, sorry if my previous revision comment defended in somehow a cheater.
He seems a strong coder and bright mind too.
It's weird! But I think given the immense number of upvotes, and the evidence provided by many comments here, especially User_Carrot that the translation is accurate and Pinkie did it to show off, it makes sense.
Exactly. It is too weird that I speculated the blog writer might be utilizing the fact that people don't understand Chinese. I don't defend, but it's bizarre xD.Nah. I'm a native speaker and i'm sure that the translation is like 99% correct and without any addition.
He has recorded himself participating contests and posted for several years and this time was just as usual. He mentioned in the video that he was afraid to be punished, but what much more than that is his eagerness to show himself off. So he chose to publish it.
This is some small-scale SBF tactics lol
sorry but what does SBF stand for
probably Sam Bankman-Fried, the FTX guy
Firstly, sorry if my comment defended in somehow a cheater. I updated it.
Given the immense number of upvotes, and your quoted "show off" specifically. I believe now that's the case. I asked some people too and he looks to have done it before.
What is the relationship between them? A couple or what?
Maybe they are two clones of the same person. (X)
This is some Rick & Morty shit, lmao.
Mutual gooning strategy. Never heard it? Explains the low ratings
Oh, oh, you're my dad (Used to express thank in Chinese)
Actually no native speaker would express his/her thank by calling other person as his/her father lmao
PinkRabbit do express his thank by by calling F as his/her father.（）In his dorm it's like this.The phrase is usually used when wanting to express the thank from bros in urgent situation.
Chinese students often kid their friends like "I'm your dad"
last time he made wrong hacks to counteract the points, but not for this time :(
It's interesting to see that OP did not tag PinkieRabbit.
This is quite predictable: PinkieRabbit has spoiled a project euler problem in the past by sharing the answer to [major PE spoiler site elided].
https://github.com/GitPinkRabbit -> this is their account on github if you want to see the spoiler pull request
People getting LGM by cheating is really depressing... that's not even the first time a case like this happened...
Hope MikeMirzayanov puts PinkieRabbit's ass in the slammer.
How is PinkieRabbit's ass relevant here? Kindly refrain from making homoerotic comments on this website.
Oh my friend, the "put somebody's ass in the slammer" in here may be just a funny expression, which means to punish someone.
bruh
The "putting someone's ass in the slimmer" may just be a joke... although it may not be very appropriate to publish it here
P: I agree.
People who cheat to get LGM are undermining the basis of Codeforces.
-1000000 social credits!!! ancestor cry

Oh no, I watched the original video record, and this eroric joke is too offensive.
OK…… I think he doesn't do that
I want to know why MIKE had not banned PinkieRabbit yet?
How to say "补档" in English?
a
You're my sun. Do thing that I can't do
Pinkrabbit always bring us surprise, last time [he/she] report many pairs of account which are controlled by the same person.
He is what he is, bringing confusing actions and happiness and full of claptrap to us.
That's funny
I can't believe that! He/She has won so many competitions.
Well their is still a chance that it's real, if anyone wants to see his/her homepage on an other OJ, then you can click here
use https://www.luogu.com/user/10703. You'll see nothing with www.luogu.com.cn
Give me some time to figure all this out.
it's a very wise choice It is necessary to figure all this out
pls don't ban him
I think PinkieRabbit should give a clearification himself, is he cheating or it's just a joke, and give concrete evidence, or if he doesn't then we can imply that he doesn't care getting banned.
PinkieRabbit has reuploaded the video. He deleted the audio of the erotic joke.
Hope that justice will NOT be absent.
That’s funny. Join in fun is common for Chinese. Inspiration comes from life, however,post this video may not be appropriate
Hope PinkieRabbit that just justice and won't be absent.
So Pinkierabbit is radical to get the colorful name.
Maybe you are right.
But as luogu's headquarters,it's not right.
Pinkie Rabbit has been downfall in Luogu.
He's no longer an administrator in Luogu.
JUDGE.
When we think that Rabbit has already spilled out all of his humor, he will always make a meme that makes us black out.
Anyways hope the justice will not be absent.
Now this is all history.
I think the organizer of LUOGU have to consider if PinkieRabbit is still able to be the controller of LUOGU. You know all the cheaters will get BANNED or punishment after a contest ends. LUOGU dont't like cheaters AT ALL. What PinkieRabbit has done just broke that rule and set a awful example for the all users of LUOGU.
He has already left luogu.
It's wise of the organizer to kick him off.
Actually he's just having a vacation on luogu...
Really？I don't care about the right and wrong of this matter,but as far as I know, he did leave the management team due to personal reasons before this incident.
I found that this contest became unrated. Is this because of PinkieRabbit?
seems like something become distorted
question — why do some people (just like the screenshot you posted) have more contest rating shown, but their max ratings shows less than the current contest rating? here as in 1914 > 1845, but their max is 1845.
Why does this happpen?
ye that's why I think that's distorted
I think that's temporary, ratings are rolledback 942 div2 and the preceeding edu and following div3 had undergone plag check and currently ratings are rolled back, so by tomorrow , ratings will be back.
It's just...unbelivable. But PinkRabbit is still a strong coder! So, what does it mean as "I don't care. I've asked for help for more than once."?
How did you come to the conclusion that he was strong? He said that he cheated for more than once, which means that maybe all the games he was involved in were cheating. That means it's not his true strength.
but he got a gold medal from NOI anyways
I think you are changing the subject. It can't hide the fact that he cheats a lot in codeforces contests.
I didn't. he thinks Rabbit is or was strong because he has a gold medal.
Your question is "How did you come to the conclusion that he was strong". I think a gold medal of NOI is enough.
Are you real SkyWave？(I don't think SkyWave's attitude towards PinkieRabbit would be so cold.)
Please respect him.Anyway, he is helpful in the information science community and has participated in proposition work multiple times. I believe he is a respected person in this regard
The difficulty of NOI is very high, and it is almost impossible for him to cheat. He has done a lot of questions in the valley, which is obvious to everyone, so he is very strong. Everyone should agree with this fact, right？
Separate things properly. If PinkieRabbit really is a cheater, he should be punished accordingly. And that doesn't invalidate the good deeds he had done, if any. Those two are completely independent topics, and none would outshadow the other.
You can't use your good past as an excuse for your present wrongdoing. And vice versa, your present good deeds might earn people's respect, but they don't fully delete any sins in your past — at least their marks for remembrance and atonement will always stand.
I agree, but I think his statement has overly denied Pinkie Rabbit, so I am dissatisfied.
I think you're abusing PinkRabbit somehow. We can't assume he cheated in many more contests if he only admits to this one, even if he says "more than once". On the other hand, I think we can all agree that PinkRabbit has the strength to get rk51 in the national contest NOI.
If you got rk51 in NOI,you would only win a silver medal.However,PinkRabbit won a gold one,which really confused me.There is no precedent in all previous contests.Perhaps it's a bad example to convince us.
3 people had got a gold medal in IOI and they got gold medal in NOI2020 again. So rk51, rk52 and rk53 could get gold medal in NOI2020, too.
Three gold medalists were no longer selected for the national training team because they also won gold medals at the IOI that year, and Pinkie Rabbit joined the national training team because she was originally rk51 and won gold medals at the same time (53 gold medals that year)
There are precedents, and you may not have looked carefully at the list of NOI winners (which is a rule)
1000 upvotes(I mean 1000 when I checked) interesting. Lucky coincidence!
Now it's more than 1024 (1033). A widely popular blog.
It's posted for over than 8 days.
Mike has been figuring for 6 days.
No response. What's Mike doing?
at least my contribution went down to -60
Seems that Mike completely forgot it. I'm sorry for that.
Sad to see no action taken by Mike yet!
can't accept that mike neglects cheating behavior of an lgm for so long
Now PinkieRabbit was skipped and got a -220 rating. Glad to see that.
I think this was recently skipped too. He was mentioned as master in the round announcement.
Also TimDee and TimaDegt was skipped too. Probably MikeMirzayanov will post something.
Cool. Nice to see justice being served in both cases. Thanks MikeMirzayanov!
Yeah TimDee is the one in screen, I remember there was another acc he gave the contest from, but didn't remember its name. Thank you for mentioning it! Yes, TimaDegt i guess.
**I wonder why those cheaters are not banned, while cheat reporting accs are getting banned nowadays!
Ex) Heap_OverFlow **
We should thank CheaterExposer too. As he played a great role in this!
