My heartfelt apology to the CF community (I cheated)

So yes. The person who created the Cheater Database, macaquedev, is a cheat himself. I apologise wholeheartedly to the entire CF community for my immensely hypocritical actions of cheating in today's div3 round, after literally creating a Chrome extension to highlight cheaters.

You may ask, how did macaquedev cheat? macaquedev didn't even participate.

Well, enter macoquedev and mocaquedev. Two more accounts. Both belonging to me, obviously. Clear violation of every rule in Codeforces. And why do I have these alts, you may ask?

Open hack phase. That's why. I like hacking. Unfortunately, MikeMirzayanov and other CF admins have made it unbelievably difficult to do any meaningful hacking, because straight after submitting two (2) hacks, I got ratelimited and was unable to submit anymore. I literally didn't even participate in the round, I just opened two submissions, submitted two hacks, and boom. Rate limit. So in order to continue hacking, I unfortunately had to view submissions on this account (the only one I participate on), and then submit hacks on the other two accounts (well, originally only one of them, but then that got rate limited as well). How ridiculous is that?

So yeah, a message to the CF admins. I love your work and the platform you've created, I really do. If you have the time and energy to ban those alts, go ahead, they mean nothing to me anyway. But can you please use that time and energy to just remove the rate limit.... at least during the hack phase? Then maybe I wouldn't need to create two more accounts just for the purpose of hacking :(
