The cheating allegations in this community are getting ridiculous Blog
Note how in here, multiple people were calling out other people who performed well for cheating with minimal, or in these cases no evidence. Firstly the poster instantly got accused by some random guy???? bro doubled down and tripled down on it too all because of a single comment. Yes, while its rare, some people do write down their thoughts inside their code, this is down to personal preference
Apparently trying to clear up confusion about the situation = "Also, if you really weren't using AI, would you have edited this 5 times to desperately try to prove your legitimacy?"???? Yes because legitimate users would totally go "yeah i cheated" instead of trying to clarify that they're legit.
Now next up, rating growth = cheating apparently too, based on another user later down that blog. "Oh you got +200 in 2 months? cool did you change up how you practice, did you grind harder, did you get a few lucky contests? Nah acutally you just cheated for sure bro"?????
And then we have the people (such as the second person mentioned) going out of nowhere to bring random other people into the conversation to accuse them as a cheater (once again without sufficient evidence).
I genuinely don't know how this benefits anyone, also, I claim that some of these people are trying to "expose cheaters" just for contribution, otherwise "virtual internet points", yeah that sounds familiar right, they have the same desire as the cheaters, but instead a different "virtual internet point".
I'm aware I only showed one blog, but there's been multiple of them up to this point, and there all virtually the same thing, its completely ridiculous. Instead of promoting negativity, maybe go learn something, or write about your findings.
When I first started in this community, cheating was already a thing, but there were a lot more informative, educational, and even normal funny shitposts, than this witch hunt of people randomly accusing others, which is toxic, and even if correct in most cases, can be handled better i.e. submitting to the CF cheater database.
All this is, especially when there is no sufficient evidence is a witch hunt that is completely toxic and benefits nobody (except the poster's internet points, but most of the time that backfires too). Please cut out the unnecessary toxicity.
Sorry if I've gone on too long in this blog, but I'm honestly pissed and disappointed at the state of the community currently. tldr: tspmosmicl.









My blog got popular for the wrong reasons :(
My theory is that they're blaming these cheaters for their own failure of getting a +ve delta or getting to the next color.
Well guess what, there are honest people who can still get their rating increased or getting to the next color. Sure, it is harder than a few years ago. But doesn't mean it's impossible right? Just think of it as the bar getting higher, not the competetion being "unfair" for you.
Cheater has existed way before AI, and will always exist. If you really care about this internet numbers called "rating", then you just have to adapt. I'm not trying to normalize cheating, i too agree if someone cheated than they should be banned instantly. But doesn't mean we have to point finger blindly in every direction just because number of cheater got so massive.
its too stupid, why can't these people focus on getting better? the admins will take care of the cheaters, and if they dont there's nothing a normal user can do anyway. i agree with MinumCoklatPanas but i think that also sometimes its just bcz of reddit karma points/boredom, some of these people truly dgaf about becoming better programmers lol
I agree with this. You could still report cheaters but you should have solid proof.
I think these people should focus on getting better to adapt to the environment instead of complaining about the environment itself, since it is quite obvious by now that cheating won't suddenly stop because there are no clear solutions to the problem; cheaters will simply create a new account when they get banned.
