Cheaters affect the official order in the contest
By Closed_, history, 3 years ago, In English

Since the number of cheaters has increased, it has become difficult for beginners to get a good rating. Four or five years ago, it was not difficult for a beginner to reach (1200-1400) if solved 2 problems.

Nowadays in CF you may have rating (900-1000) and solve 2 problems in div 2 but you will decrease.

It's true, ok practice a lot and things will be fine.

You have to first take care of improving your level, then you will get a good rating easily

and cheaters will not hold you back

Don't worry about it man. How far can they even go without honest efforts.

Not only cheaters, some people rated Master or above began to make alt accounts so that there are more people rated lower on the top of the standings.

Can you explain why you're so sure cheaters are at fault here? What I see is that you have a problem, came up with a possible explanation and it seems you immediately assumed this explanation must be correct.
