Accounts that are 99% alts
By D_ck, history, 6 months ago, translation, In English

I have discovered two submissions from users with very similar usernames and nearly identical code: https://codeforces.me/contest/2209/submission/367657320 and https://codeforces.me/contest/2209/submission/367660965. Since using multiple accounts in rated rounds is against Codeforces rules, I request that you investigate this case.

Cheaters nowadays are so faceless and careless that they don't even bother to hide it anymore. The cf admins are working hard, but something else must be done about this imo.

    if $$$AI$$$ is so good at assisting cheaters, then maybe it could help with banning cheaters. if you look at most cheaters' graphs, they look something like this: Akshat_Agg. and if $$$AI$$$ can solve $$$3000$$$-rated problems, surely it can differentiate between cheaters and honest users at a somewhat decent level.

      Why do you write AI in math mode as if it was a formula?

        A few years ago I realized that whenever I was reading a paragraph or two that was talking about one specific thing, that specific thing being written in all caps (like $$$IQ$$$, $$$AI$$$, etc) and I looked at the entire few paragraphs without focusing on any specific word or line, all of the mentions of that specific thing would stand out. like the paragraph would look like

        wwwwwwwwwwAIwAIwwwwww

        wwwwAIwwwwwwwwwwAIwww

        wwwwAIwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwAI

        wwwwwwwwwwwwwwAIwwwwww

        and I thought it was pretty cool that you could "see" the main idea for these specific blocks of text without actually reading anything so now I try to emphasize words/acronyms that are all caps (and numbers too, but those are math things).

    Some people just scour the top 100 people and people whos rating don't match up with their placing just get taken a look at, which leads to most catches.

        sometimes even specialists are worth checking (if they didn't tilt down from master and have a short account history). But anyone outscoring unofficial LGMs is definitely worth a check.
