Sorry for poor English.
THE ISSUE IS MENTIONED FOR SEVERAL TIMES BY DIFFERENT USERS.
BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN UNTIL NOW.
CODEFORCES WILL BECOME BOTFORCES.
IS ALL ADMINISTRATOR ON VACATION ???
WE CANT WAIT ANYMORE.
The same thing happens three times these days, and the queue is still full of bots.
The bot is submit at a CRAZY speed.
Only about 10 normal submission can be seen on the first status page.
The affection of the bot is much more than before.
I strongly suggest that we can give some rednames a temporary permission to ban the accounts that have too much submission in a short period.
BAN THESE ACCOUNTS:
AND I THANK YOU!
Update — Another advice
Can we limit a user's try on different problems in a short time?
Like a user can just submit on 16 different problems in 10 minutes.
Only O(1) Robots?
Of course not.
There are far more bots than listed.
Quite a good comment! I think bots are wasting too much judging resources.
Auto comment: topic has been updated by RDFZchenyy (previous revision, new revision, compare).
Eps normal people among INF bots. What botforces.
most of the bots were created 5 days ago and most use python 3.
Interesting...
I have a feeling somebody might be trying to make codefores unusable
Someone says a company uses the phone number they collected to register and use CF to train AI models. The code they submitted really like AI. I hope that CF will take actions against the bots. All CF users don't want CF "die".
EVERYTHING I DO I GET THE CLOUDFLARE PAGE HELP PLS
Real talk, a lot of these bots have been able to solve like 2100+ rated problems going even upto 3000 like dc2nauk2z2. Is it because the editorial is available online which the AI bot finds or is AI just becoming genuinely scary now?
I woke up early to solve some of my past unsolved problems but couldn't because of the long queue :(
queueforces o(╥﹏╥)o
"BOTFORCES" is crazy xD
but seriously, this is an issue, and a very big one
I don’t think Cloudflare is blocking them. They’re using the CLI tools, so they can submit and do everything we can do. I think Codeforces should only be accessible through the website UI, not through CLI tools.
yeah, it seems they are using API. Like vjudge do it every day. But now some company has started abusing the API.
