... and introduce a template-based system. like introduce a new feature where you can save your template(on the website) to solve any general problem. also remove the "upload file" feature. this will be a huge blow to people who like submitting files for problems but it has to be done for the greater good. while this will not cure the cheater problem completely, it serves in making cheating more difficult and therefore discouraging potential cheaters.

thoughts?

edit: do people not know how to read? i clearly said "...while this will not cure the cheater problem completely, it serves in making cheating more difficult and therefore discouraging potential cheaters." in the end. they would have a hard time typing out code manually by hand. a bracket gets misplaced here and there, and it will frustrate them greatly. they'll be forced to debug it themselves since the site doesnt allow copy paste in this scenario. hence, it will make cheating harder.

i used to think that this site was filled with smart people, its just another Reddit lmao

It seems like a good idea, but there will be a huge problem for the website to compile

Literally, I had also this idea in my mind but cheaters can also take screenshot of the problem and put that screenshot on LLMs. So, I think if CF also disable the feature of taking screenshots then It would more better.

You could also just type what the LLM says. Clearly the only solution is to ban submitting code whatsoever

      This just makes everything worse for actual participants and does nothing to stop cheaters. Banning the submission of code allows for real participants to still get to solve problems while cheaters cannot gain rating. My point still stands
