Why are alts not being banned?

Hi, codeforces. This is not a shitpost blog, just letting you know.

Look at this blog: Blog

Here Agnimandur says that he will participate officially in contests made for contestants in a lower division. Despite openly saying it, no action has been taken against him. He solved all problems in the div 3 round officially with his alt account AgnimandurDIV3 today. Is this ethical? Is this not against the rules? For his own satisfaction, he has made the ranks of other people worse. This is not his first contest. He took part in a few div 2 contests previously.

I want to ask you guys: how is this fair? Why hasn't anything been done about it?

It's not only Agnimandur, there are other people who anonymously do this. But what makes me disappointed is the fact that nothing has been done despite him openly saying it.

A message to codeforces: please do something about this issue in general. It is extremely unfair.

A message to the people who shamelessly do this: please stop. Isn't there an option to register "out-of-competition"? It's like asking Usain Bolt to compete against women. He will undoubtedly win, but that win means nothing.

Thank you for reading, please share your views regarding this.
