Hello! Actually, you wrote all these complaints before we conducted our regular cheater search. All cheaters were found using the usual method, and the submissions mentioned in the reports provided only minimal assistance. For example, dozens of cheaters were reported, but we found hundreds. I think it's not worth getting worried until the cheater search procedure is completed. In most cases, your complaints will be addressed simply through the standard process. We are making significant efforts to identify as many cases of plagiarism as possible. We are trying very hard!

    Hi. I highly appreciate the efforts to identify cheating and believe that a large amount of cheaters are being caught under the current system.

    With that being said, what are your thoughts on the following suggestions to both stop and discourage cheating?

    This is really good news and I am happy to see that you and your staff are taking serious measures to counter the cheating problem.

    I know many suggestions have been written by people over the last few months and over the years, but here is a simple one: What do you think about having some indication that the rating of the most recent say X contests is provisory until you get to run the cheater detection algorithm for all rounds?

    The reason I bring this up is that while it's very hard to practically delay the rating updates due to overlapping rounds and sometimes having rounds on consecutive days, it would help with discouraging cheaters who join Codeforces just to get a quick rating in their resume and use it for various real life benefits.

    I just hope this procedure takes place for every contest and not just the ones where people complain. I have seen profiles where submissions for the last contest have been skipped but not for the previous contest(Aug 10th) when it is obvious(atleast to me after looking at their submissions) that they have cheated in those contests as well. Thanks for trying hard!

    This cheater was missed.

    aditya_coder7 275828416

    The submission is a translated version of existing skipped code. Example: 275847150.

    The "calc", "del" and "add" functions are used in the same way.
