About cheaters

Revision ru1, by unbelievable, 2021-01-31 23:29:36

I think this thing bother not only me, but huge part of codeforces community. When I press top button, I expect to see some useful hits, new algos, editorals, invitations to different contests. However, I see 246376243 posts from unrated people who complain about cheating in educational rounds. Personaly, I dont care about this cheating at all. If you get +5, not +6 because of someone cheated its not the end of the world. And cheaters don`t ussualy get first or second place in the contest so they wont be given any material things from sponsors etc. If CP for you is only about rating on website its really bad. For me its a great possibility to practice and solve interesting problems, so cheaters dont interfere me.

I dont know, why so many people try to find cheeaters in every round andhow do they do this, but maybe codeforces should just implement report mechanism? This will release top section from "detectives" and cheaters still will be punished.

I am open to a discussion in comments, please share your thoughts.
