MikeMirzayanov, I believe I have been falsely accused of plagiarism in the recent contest. My solution matches a publicly available code from GeeksforGeeks that was published before the contest. Could you please review my case? Here are the details:

-Description: In last div2, My solution https://codeforces.me/contest/1983/submission/269278403 got skipped telling in has significant match with https://codeforces.me/contest/1983/submission/269258951 this solution. But the two functions minSwapsToSort() and minSwapToMakeArraySame() was copied from geekforgeeks https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/minimum-swaps-to-make-two-array-identical/ . Our main functions are even different. Hope codeforces will take steps as soon as possible.

Recently some people are broadcasting the solutions of problems during contest time. In last div2, a guy literally came live on youtube during the contest. It's like "Study with me"'s newer version "Cheat with me". Can codeforces prevent these kind of things from happening?

(This is not my real handle, so if cheaters downvote I don't give an f). I mean why should I give an f to some lifeless fellas, who the hell told you to do cp, go do something else.

Codechef is not organizing any rated contests for more than a month, recently they organized two contests but both of them are unrated. Do anyone know what happened? Another thing, codeforces contest's div2 A,B,C are now based on arrays and strings most of the time. Can we get something different?
