“When the system is broken, it’s not cheating to expose it. It’s duty.” — cf67

Some of you probably remember that account cf67 — the one who used to post blogs exposing cheating groups in online STEM stuff from Pakistan. Some people said it was just drama, but let’s be real, a lot of us knew he wasn’t making things up. He had screenshots and timestamps. For a while, it actually felt like someone was doing something real, not just pretending everything’s fine.

Eventually the account just went quiet. Maybe he got tired of it, who knows. But the problems? they didn’t stop. they got worse. Now it’s not just shady circles in one place. Cheating is happening in Indian coaching centres, bangladesh Discords, telegram bots handing out live contest answers. Some groups literally exist just to boost ratings for uni apps. It’s not random anymore, it’s a whole system.

Codeforces tries to catch what it can, but let’s be honest, they can’t keep up. People can report, yeah, but most won’t bother. That’s why “Technoblade never dies” meant something. He didn’t throw out random accusations — he backed stuff up. no clout chasing. just exposing stuff people were too scared or tired to talk about. We kinda need that again. maybe not with the same edge, but definitely the same honesty.

Whether it’s him again or someone new, there should be a voice like that on the site. Not to witch hunt people, but to remind us why codeforces matters. if people can cheat their way to CM or master and no one cares, then what are we even doing here?
