Hey MikeMirzayanov, KAN this user cs_tree skips his solution, whenever there is a chance of huge decrement in his rating. This is the second time I've seen him do this.

Screenshot during the contest :

Screenshot after the system testing was completed :

He submits the solution in C++ whenever he wants to get his solution skipped.

Here is a screenshot of his previous skipped contest.

This kind of behavior is unacceptable. Please look into this matter and take strict actions against this kind of people. It is very disheartening for people who give contests regularly and go through the ups and downs in their rating.

I had also commented on a post but there was no response from the community : link

Some links to other blogs on this matter of cheating :

Case1

Case2

Case3

The point of the blog is that some serious action has to be taken against them. If you just make them skip the contest, that's not fair. Even more people would try to do the same. This is against the community standards.

Though I don't like Codechef, but one good thing about them is that they reduce the rating of the user when they are caught in the case of cheating.

P.S.-> They don't have a good plagiarism checker XD

Feel free to give your suggestions about what should be done to these people.

One of the suggestions

    As far as I know, this is the only method to skip a solution.

      You have just registered 2 days ago on the community and you have come to know quite a bit without participating in any contests. Impressive!

I have been receiving a lot of spam messages after posting this blog.

These kinds of people pollute the community.

MikeMirzayanov, Please look into this.

Hey Codeforces community, I am BUMPING this post now as this user cs_tree has again skipped yesterday's contest. ( link ). Just see his submission page ( LINK ).

The thing is, how are we tolerating such issues. There was one more post recently, about the same issue.

I really hope that something should be done on this issue, and strict measures should be taken.

There should be rating penalty (like codechef) for any unfair practice.

Hola Codeforces Community, Bumping this post again. cs_tree has again done the same thing of skipping the contest again, Go and check on his submissions page.

I have requested MikeMirzayanov Sir to take some strict action many number of times. But, no steps have been taken.

So, the point is, I'll also start to do the same thing from now on. As nobody gives a fuck about honesty, I will also start to do the same. By this method, I'll easily become a candidate master.
