After this fantastic match I learned something , If you really want to achieve your goal just keep trying for the last second :D

So I will be red one day and will keep trying to achieve my goal :D

Barcelona 6 — 1 PSG viva Barca

Hi Everyone..

I'm new to codeforces, I have been participating in many contests now, and I noticed a strange thing !!

After the contest some participants gets their submission skipped if their code matches someone else's code. After a few easy investigations (you just filter the submissions on skipped verdict, and VWALA !! you got a list of all the skipped submissions during the current contest) I noticed that some participants do this on purpose.

From my previously mentioned investigation, I noticed that some participants have two accounts, one of them is the original one, and the other one is fake. Now they register themselves from both accounts on the upcoming contest. after that, they start the contest from their original account and participate normally like everyone else. Coming to the end of the contest, and if they haven't done well, they simply sign in from the other account, and submit exactly the same code from it, and let the cheating detection system of codeforces do the rest for you.

After the end of the contest, codeforces seems to skip the submissions of similar codes, making these participants out of competition. This way their rating doesn't get affected !!

Example

I noticed that this guy Whistle, So_Cold in particular have done this two times in a row.

Codeforces Round #381 (Div. 2)

Problem A from the first account, Problem A from the second account

Good Bye 2016

Problem A from the first account, Problem A from the second account

Problem B from the first account, Problem B from the second account

Conclusion

I'm just wondering that isn't there some other action should codeforces do other than simply making cheating users out of competition? I used to participate in topcoder, but I heard so much about what a great and easy platform codeforces is (I actually found that this is true), which made me switch to codeforces. However, I think codeforces should pay more attention to these cases to keep its reputation as high as it is now.

Thank you for reading and sorry if my long post made you a little bit bored ;)
