First place cheating?
By toji, history, 7 months ago, In English

I noticed something strange about today’s round’s first place, Easy_AC. His submissions seemed suspicious—cheater detectors, could you check this guy?

he is obviously cheating, look at his submission to problem F in global round, he switches complete implementation in 2 mins, switches language implementation in 5 mins

how did his G submission on Codeforces Global Round 29 (Div. 1 + Div. 2), got skipped even though he didnt accept it twice (if you accept a problem twice, the first submission gets skipped).

Cheating Issues in Codeforces: A Community Concern

  • I fully agree with toji that several cheaters have managed to cheat in the last round and reached CM and Master ranks, including users like Easy_AC, AnuragYADAV_10, _ironman_3000, and many more.... Its frustrating to see such behavior, but lets remember that while these cheaters might temporarily succeed, their actions wont go unnoticed.

  • We, as a community, have a responsibility to expose these individuals. A great way to help with this is by adding them to the Codeforces Cheater Database, where we can publicly highlight their fraudulent activity.

  • While cheaters may be able to sustain their position for around 10 rounds on average before getting disabled by the administrators, the damage they cause to legitimate users is real. Many of us lose valuable rating points due to their actions. This is why its crucial for the community to continue raising awareness, so that if these cheaters manage to slip through Codeforces plagiarism checks, we can bring them to public attention.

  • It is painful to see some of these cheaters rise to the rank of Cheater Master or even Cheater CM. An example is AnuragYADAV_10, whose solution AI comments are clearly visible across multiple solutions. This only further proves the need for stricter detection and moderation.

The Impact on Legitimate Users:

  • For the legit users, the situation feels challenging, but there is a silver lining. We become stronger as a community because we know that in the face of cheating,.. we push ourselves harder to improve. These cheaters, on the other hand, only get weaker with time,.. relying on AI and code-spreading groups instead of their own skills.

  • Lets continue to make Codeforces a better place for all of us. Together, we can ensure that cheaters are identified, banned, and that competition remains fair.

Stay strong, improve your skills, and let's make this community even better!

Hey, I’m curious, if an account is flagged as a cheater, what will happen to that account? Will it be banned?

    Cheater database is not affiliated with Codeforces so we do not have the power to take actions on users, all we can do is inform the Codeforces admins

        You gotta have Master’s degree on whooping to be available to whoop him with Mike. Cause Mike told me that he takes his whoppings seriously.

          fortunately I am still in 9th grade, can you ask Mike which colleges he likes (ITMO, MIT, IIT, Tsinghua University, University of Tokyo, TU Graz, TU Munich).

          I am willing to do anything to join his whooping squad

Give it up, Codeforces has already been taken over by gpt5pro. As far as I know, even some top-50 rated contestants have tried using gpt5pro during contests, and there were contestants who ranked in the top 20 of certain rounds while relying entirely on gpt5pro to solve problems (sorry, I can’t mention names). Codeforces has been completely broken by AI — any contestant willing to break the rules and good at disguising it can gain a Rating far beyond their actual ability.
