Yesterday a guy named jainaditya8464 posted a blog about cheating and also shared the grp link. It wasnt working for me, but he left a note that it had more than 5k members. This morning, I found that he had deleted that post, and this is obviously due to the insane amount of pressure he must be recevieng from these cheaters who think of themselves as some sort of a mafia(lmao pests). Anyways, I managed to find that grp, if I share the link, again u cannot open it, so Ill share the name:
CODEFORCES (CP)
Steps: Just open telegram and enter "codeforces codechef", there will be only 1 grp with 5k+ members, they have structured grps for cheating in codechef, codeforces, leetcode, gfg(how tf can u cheat on gfg and leetcode man).
Ill attach some ss and leave it up to the community to do what it should and can.
Peace.
This link is working, so anyone who wants to see the mess themselves can go forward, just pls dont become another member of this scum community.
What will they achieve doing this? What's the endgame they're chasing? WHY?
Absolutely pathetic
These cheaters don't know that they aren't fooling others but themselves.
lets post wrongs answers on this group from next which only passes sample tests
5k+ members, it breaks my heart :<(
If you look at the submissions of many coders whose rank was in between 1000 and 1600, too many solutions match almost exactly with that group's solution. You will see that newbies have submitted all 4 problems within a matter of 5 minutes, all accepted. It's pathetic
because you shared the link , more dumb ppl will join congrats :)
these guys can cheat man, there always will be cheaters, u can never stop them, but I would appreciate if you wont spread hate for me here atleast. (people will think u are one of them hehe)
srry i guess? :(
I mean, yeah, it sucks, but it sucks more for them. You'll just eventually be happy with your faster rising rating when you leave the cheaters' territory.
Yeah, Also idts you can reach the higher ratings(expert or ahead) by cheating. Maybe cyan or green but that's the limit.
I am wondering how jainaditya8464 you know this group exist
These groups are extremely easy to find. Anyone can do it.
cheaters are a known problem. Nothing wrong with spreading awareness.
These cheaters suck the joy out of competitive programming. If i can't think of a solution soon enough i would rather quit the contest than go ask a friend or go rogue on telegram buying solutions.I don't care negative deltas because i know that i can bounce back in couple of contests.I used to think people do cp just for fun as I do..but no there are pests over there who glorify high rating which is achieved by cheating (buying a solution from telegram or discussing a solution with a friend).
and these people who cheat cant get over 1500 man, i dont get the f point Its very funny to me now, noticing this for a couple of years now
why do people worry about these groups?
these groups cant solve >=2000 problems anyways
so just gitgud ez
True that..but for people who are low rated ..this can be a little demotivating to see as they will never get a good rank.. but anyways only way for this is to just get good
consider these cheaters as "bots" in a game hehe
Honestly yeah, cheating doesn't get these peeps above ~1500s anyway,..
I don't see how this is too much of a problem, just work on yourselves, keep getting better and ignore these people coz their growth will get stunted after a while, not yours...
P.S: As has been pointed out before, sharing active telegram don't help the cause. More people just contact grp members and eventually they move on to a new grp
