the "AI problem" on cf is well known thing, such known that after almost all of the recent contest there has been at least one blog complaining about it or reporting an "AI cheater", but cheating isn't anything new, in fact in almost every online game (and many other media and places) there are cheaters, but more importantly there are official ways to deal with them
most well known method is the "official report" feature most games have. I won't bore and cut to the chase, cf needs an official "report" feature and as far as I'm aware it eigther doesn't exist or isn't well built because most people are just writing blogs to report other (which could be, and probably is annoying for some people)
(also before I end the blog, please share if there other and better ways to deal with "cheaters" and "reports)
Auto comment: topic has been updated by theSkeleton (previous revision, new revision, compare).
I thought I did well this contest. But because of the crazy amount of cheaters I don't think I'm gaining elo for this.
same :(
when i solved my 4th problem i thought i would become specialist, but i was surprised when i saw the standings
Either*, Not Eigther
I think div 1 has a report feature, not sure but I believe I heard it somewhere. but yes, reporting suspicious submissions should exsit, and it just goes to show that the admins of the site don't care anymore, I don't believe it's too hard to implement, in any case it wouldn't have taken 2 months to do since this started. It's really sad
If they're worried about mass reports or annoying bs, they can set a rating lower bound, specialist+ would be pretty logic, or even expert+ After all it takes around 4 contests to get a new account to expert(unless you get insane performance), so I don't think having an expert+ limit would be bad(yes if I was CM I would have said CM+)
