Concern About Increasing Cheating on Codeforces
By Mamun064, history, 6 hours ago, In English

Hello MikeMirzayanov,

I wanted to bring to your attention a growing concern in the Codeforces community. It seems that cheating is becoming more prevalent and it's affecting the fairness and integrity of contests.

If there are any effective measures that can be taken to address this issue, I kindly requested you to implement them strictly. Otherwise, I fear that Codeforces may become more of a business platform for some individuals rather than a space for genuine competition and learning.

Thank you for your time and dedication to improving Codeforces.

Here some of cheater's submission of last contest(Div2. 994),and I think more than thousands of people did this,

Absolutely said brother. Even they use chatgpt and then they submit that code after modifying the variable names only.

    Sometimes, they don't even know which one is the variable name, but they still solve it.
