RDFZchenyy's blog

By RDFZchenyy, history, 5 months ago, In English

Sorry for poor English, but this thing is EMERGENCY.

The queue of the judge server is full of bots.

The same thing had happened last Saturday night. A blog is publish at that time to complain about this thing, but NO ACTION has been taken until now.

It is OBVIOUSLY that all those account with 10 random characters is bot. Their username is meaningless, and their code style is similar. It seems something like an AI model is testing.

Is it permitted to waste the public judging service on CodeForces???

At last Saturday night, it takes about 5 minutes for a submission to get judged. However, the time increased to more than 20 minutes today. Here is a submission from my friend: 349398173. It hasn't been judged until now, 28 minutes after he submit it.

A lot of people complain about this problem, and this blog is written to show how the thing developed these days.

It's almost unbearable to wait for almost 30 minutes.

So please deal with this problem AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THANK YOU.

Update

The submission I mentioned before is waiting for 45 minutes and not judged until now!

Update #2

If all the bot account is from the same IP subnet, please ban the IP subnet directly.

Can we give red names a temporary ban account permission, to ban those who submitted on more than 20 different problems in just 10 minutes?

Why does so many people will use CF to train robots. Can't just ban them? Mike doesn't have to worry about the large queue of submissions either. Why don't do this???

Please. The bots are just ANNOYING every people who use Codeforces, making everyone can't use Codeforces to submit problems and get the verdict.

Not that quick. Someone may even wait for 1 hour or more.
