Hello.
Today I removed the account zh0ukangyang from the rating, after first nullifying its results in the Pinely Round 3 (Div. 1 + Div. 2) and banning it.
I would like to remind you again: Codeforces insists on the policy of using a single account. Creating and using additional accounts violates this rule. In an ideal world, each Codeforces account corresponds to one specific person.
Sometimes additional accounts are created for official, usually collective purposes (writing a post on behalf of a company, etc.). In such cases, these accounts do not participate in rated rounds and we do not pay attention to them unless there is some abuse of Codeforces resources.
Unfortunately, it is difficult for us to enforce this rule in almost all cases. But I urge you to respect the rules. Please remember that by registering for any rated contest, you confirm that you are participating with your only account. If this is not the case, then you are violating the community rules. Do not do this. By breaking the rules, you automatically agree that punishment may be applied to you.
In cases where rule violations significantly affect the ratings of other participants, we may take drastic measures. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
In this case, zh0ukangyang was at the top of the ratings, occupying high places in the rounds.
What should you do if you already have several accounts and want to stop breaking the rules? You should not write to us with a request to delete accounts or transfer data from one account to another. All you need to do is simply stop participating from all accounts except one. Change the password to a random one and do not log into the account anymore.
For participants at the very top (somewhere in the top 50 of the ratings), we are ready to manually deal with the situation and exclude illegal accounts from the rating.
