Don't these kind of Div 3 cheaters get caught??
By Real_Father_Of_Ash, 4 years ago, In English

See the solution timings and submissions carefully. Clearly 2 or more people are co-operating for this account. It's clear that this person was simultaneously coding solutions for F and B.

Here's another one ...

This guy's template is alternating between problems and it seems two people are also using this account.

I saw this for the first time.

Don't these guys get caught? Isn't there any alert system based on submission timings?

Judging by the different styles of code I think that it is clear that Ilya_Gandon cheated indeed. However I dont think that the alert based on submission timing is that simple to be implemented, a human would also need to check it. A cool suggestion for Codeforces would be to have a group of moderators made of maybe 50 trustworthy members of the community to be able to judge such things and remove the participation of the cheater straight away. MikeMirzayanov please take a look at this suggestion :)

    What about thematrix333 ? Don't you think he also cheated? His code's style is different in different submission. In one submission he uses solve() and in another solved in main function.

      I don't think this particular point about using solve() but only sometimes is proof of anything.

      I did not check his code, but if the style is different as you are saying it is probably cheating as well

    I still think having a separate portal to report cheaters would be amazing. We will not have to make blogs for stupid stuff like this. And moderator team will also be able to receive reports in a better manner.

    It is clear that Ilya_Gandon is a cheater since Ga***n is a russian swear word :)

    I don't think that anyone could seriously name his main account like this.

    Huh? This is clearly not what the post is talking about.

    Original poster is referring to the fact that one user can solve two problems within a minute or two, and that their code style is different, suggesting multiple people are using one account.

    You did not understand the post, he is talking about the submissions time within the same user, not comparing the 2 users.

Biggest question in my mind is what the hell they will do in life with these ratings earned by cheating

    Get referrals by showing their fake rated profiles.

        Many people do get offers even after cheating in the screening contest as well.

    No one is bullying you. You are clearly LYING.
    Evidence :

    coding F
    coding B

    You were simultaneously coding B and F with different templates and coding style?

    The templates aren't the only proof. Your actual solution code is written with different styles. If you are really alt of moonshine as you say, then I think I should also look at moonshine's solutions to see if such malpractice is going on with that acc too.

    UPD : Your templates don't even match with moonshine 's
