Is finding information about problems in the comments during the contest cheating?

Revision en3, by SSRS_, 2022-07-24 21:13:49

In the latest Round Codeforces Round 810 (Div. 1), I heard that some people posted the original problem of Div.1 E in the comment section of the contest blog during the contest. Some people might have noticed it and gained an advantage.

The person who made the comment should probably be considered a cheater. But how about the people who went to the comment section and saw the comment? Should they also be considered cheaters?
