As many of you know there were a lot of cheaters in the latest Div 1+2 contest, and codeforces did catch most of them. But unlike before instead of giving warnings they started to ban them. And my honest reaction would be something like yuiipeeee finally.
As an example there was this guy MisterCheese, who thought he can cheat and get away with it, He even became specialist, but unfortunately for him karma was right around the corner. And now when you want to visit his profile it just say that he was banned.
I personally see it as a great solution since many of other cheaters would be scared to cheat. Because the time invested in their accounts would be wasted.
Anyways bye .
good action! how difficult is it to create a new acc btw?
Not that hard actually. But the thing which you need to take into consideration is the time invested in their accs and restoring it would take a while.
good point
I totally get your point. And truly the only good solution would be to just hardware ban them.

How does this system work? Is it like if you are a community recognized cheater you're banned? Or is it if you cheat more than x times you get banned?
I guess it is both. Since we saw bans which were caused by communities demand to ban someone. But most of the times it’s when you get caught with plagiarism they’ll send you a message saying that “next time we might ban you”.
