Codeforces need a new anti-cheat system
By YF_YUSUF, history, 17 months ago, translation, In English

Everyone knows that there are quite a few cheaters on rating rounds, but there were a lot of cheaters on the last round. Stnadings 1 minute after the end of the round
In the top 20 official users there are at least 10 users with a rating of less than 1200. This is a lot and the situation is terrible. Codeforces need a new anti-cheat system.
But I also want to say that competive programming (and not only, I think this applies to all industries) after the development and improvement of AI will move into a new era.

Maybe a proctoring software? It would still be possible to AI cheat but the barriers are higher

    on the one hand, the number of cheaters will be close to 0, and on the other hand, a lot of users (not only cheaters but honest people too) will not want to broadcast their screen, so number of participants also will be small

      I'm extremely skeptical about the risks associated with proctoring software, but if codeforces moves this direction, I believe they could make it not required. Have rating calculations be based on placement relative to proctored users. Display badges on profiles of people that opt-in to the proctoring.

damn this is actually kind of crazy. it looks like there are only $$$11$$$ CMs in the top $$$100$$$. I wonder if it's mostly due to AI or leaked problems.
