A Small Suggestion to Reduce Cheating

Revision en1, by ali_gator, 2025-11-17 21:23:53

Recently I’ve seen a lot of suspicious rating jumps in Codeforces. In my last contest, after the rollback, my rank improved by about 500 spots — which says a lot.

I think Codeforces should add a simple verification step for users who suddenly show an extremely unusual improvement in a very short time. Just a small check to confirm that the performance is real.

This could help reduce cheating and keep contests fair for everyone.
