We've all seen the cheater callout spiel I'll just cut to the chase:
User: sevenseas
Red flags:
- Swapping from C# to C++ in the middle of the contest (different language in F2 than F1, like ???)
- Randomly adding and removing FastScanner (shouldn't happen if using a template)
- Weirdly minified code
- Previously cheating in a SCHOOL CONTEST and then deleting messages in the Discord when being called out
I honestly wouldn't have cared enough to make this post if it wasn't for that last point — it doesn't sit right with me that the random CM that I had to ban for blatant AI usage is ahead of the PHSCO winner in the most recent contest standings. Hopefully this post will bring justice and make somebody's day when rating rollbacks come around.
On an unrelated note, Mike should really add a separate forum for reporting cheaters, I feel kind of bad for adding this blog to the recent actions sidebar lol
He even cheated in "JetBrains Youth Challenge 2025-2026".
That contest was really full of cheaters, there is no way someone stuck at newbie for 95 contests without even touching pupil performed better than me... (sabuli is the one I am talking about)
I probably didn't qualify because of cheaters...
There is a separate place for cheaters: https://cf-cheater-database.vercel.app/ (the cheater is already there)
I thought that was just for the extension, not a platform ban? It'd be nice if I was wrong though
Mike doesn't ban cheaters often so its the best option for now
I am guessing this is the same user?

Day 1 of asking MikeMirzayanov to add the "Delete account" feature on a random blog.
you're telling me someone reached Master in just 9 contests without a single rating drop without cheating???
