New method of Cheating!
By Equation_Tracker, 16 months ago, In English

Yesterday, I attended Codeforces Global Round 28. Someone in the talks sent me this message.

Looks like they've invented a new method of Cheating. How to deal with these annoying people?

Update: This is the user.

Update 2: He has apologized through this post.

Can everyone here know this guy's username? At least we can do 0.1 emotional damage to him.

Hello I saw a comment that mamali is looking for money like others and... I know mamali very well He did a great job for us. He taught for years without receiving money and was a very important element in the development of people who did not have a good teacher (which led to several of his students winning gold in the Iranian Olympiad). He taught us that we can help others regardless of material things. And we continue his work I said this in response to someone who said that this person is looking for money like everyone else nd... I said this because if he was looking for money, he could have earned a lot from teaching at this high level. In the end, thank you very much, I hope you will be successful in your work And sorry if my English is not good enough :)

I`m the classmate of mamali and I myself saw him cheating several times and warned him not to do it, but it seems he hasn't stopped cheating. Cheating, especially in a global contest, is really shameful.

Sorry but I don't think this is a new method. If they want they can ask you or other people through other channel or social network, not only in codeforces

Wow ! Mind-blowing. I hope the Codeforces admin disable such accounts so that fair contests can be conducted. Also, for past few contests, I noticed that no cheaters roll-back is happening. No idea why.

When I meet this.

I will sent:

#include <windows.h>
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    cout << "STOP CHEATING!!!";
    system("shutdown /s /t 10");
    return 0;
}
