But then I started looking closer. And that excitement slowly turned into disappointment.↵

What made me suspicious↵
==================↵
↵
This user [user:Tipa,2026-04-24] , not long ago, was visibly struggling with Div. 3 and Div. 4 A and B problems. Their submissions showed it — wrong answers, slow thinking, basic mistakes. That's completely normal for a developing competitive programmer.↵
Then, in a surprisingly short period of time — they hit Grandmaster.↵
No gradual climb. No visible improvement trajectory. Just a sudden jump to one of the highest ranks on this platform.↵
↵
I'm not making accusations — I'm asking you to look↵
==================↵
↵
I'm not here to cancel anyone. I could be wrong.↵
But I invite you to check their submission history yourself:↵
↵
- Look at the difficulty of problems they solved over time.↵
- Look at the timing and patterns of their submissions.↵
- Compare their early performance with their rated contest results.↵
↵
The data is public. Judge for yourself.↵
↵
Why this matters to me :↵
==================↵
Algeria has one Grandmaster. One. When I saw that, I felt pride and hunger — I wanted to earn that rank and make it two. Legitimately, through real grinding and real improvement.↵
If that rank was earned through dishonest means, it doesn't just affect a leaderboard. It affects people like me who look at it for inspiration.↵
↵
I hope I'm wrong. But I can't stay silent about something that's been bothering me for weeks.
