I think codeforces should start updating their website to have some of the following anti-cheating measures: 1. Access to camera during contest. (I know the no. of users is very high and so it would be highly difficult but it can be implemented. An AI detecting if a user is not attempting or something like that. 2. Screen proctoring — users should only be allowed to only switch between text editors like vscode/sublime/etc. and codeforces during contest — a type of screen recording/sharing system. 3. Highly strict plag-check and cheating punishments — even if it takes sometime to release results/updated ratings, there should be a thorough checking. Also, users with similar code for the first time should be exempted from ban but their contest should be skipped. Other than that if they cheat for second time, then they should be completely banned. Also, this may lead to some innocents getting punished, so there should be a forum where innocents can defend themselves via proofs.
I know this can lead to many people not giving contests but at least it would keep the theme of CP alive. Pls give other suggestions that could be implemented.
I also think people with highest rating gain from a contest should be checked first.
All of these have privacy issues, and I wouldn't want to give my camera access.
True, also codeforces isnt an exam, its to improve your skill, so camera doesnt seem like a good option. If ur cheating during practice its kinda there loss, not the people who are solving it by themselves.
At the end of the day, the problems asked in interview will only count, the cheaters wont be able to explain, and we all will, so its no loss here.
Make testcases which are slightly weak. Make GPT code fail on system tests instead of pretests. Maybe this might affect others as well, but it will only force us to think twice like yes i believe this is 100% right or else i should check once more
if you make testcases weaker, then GPT code could fail, but user codes may also fail much more because of edge cases. This could annoy a lot of users
Isnt this what happens alot of times in div3 in hacking phase
Ban all indians.
Ig banning racist people like you is more probable than banning indians
If a country has normalised cheating it shouldn't attend in international arenas where others play fair. Has nothing to do with racism, Indian is not a race but a nationality.
yea i know all these will lead to privacy concerns but then there is no way of stopping cheaters. Although 2 and 3 can be implemented if you have camera issues
