Hi MikeMirzayanov,

Dhruvil accepted that he cheated and tried to show himself as innocently as possible, but deep down, we know that once a cheater is always a cheater; he has an IGM friend from whom he can cheat again to regain the rating.
We know he has cheated many times and had the problems of that contest in advance. Leaving that aside, the penalty imposed on Dhruvil is almost useless. It's as if you just unrated the contest for him.
No negative rating for cheating/skipped, no account suspension. If someone selects "only rated" in contests, no one can see he skipped the solution. I'll also cheat from now on, and if I am caught, I'll write a useless, sympathy-gaining apology blog, and boom, my solutions are only skipped with no effect.
I request you to either ban his ID or at least give some rating penalty as a punishment, here you just skipped his contest without any penalty, which I assume isn't a penalty.

I agree, yet he will most likely just create a new account, and then this cycle will repeat all over again :/
This is not necessarily true. Unless a cheater has terrible English, they should be given a second chance.
and if second chance is missed they should be given a third and then a fourth... should be given chances till the end of there lives.
Matthew 18:21-22
nah, if someone cheats once, he can change, but if someone claims he has changed & doesn't cheat but again cheats, that's not forgivable
If you are gonna cheat then why do you agree with the contest rules?
