Cheating in Edu Round 83
By 8bit_thug, 5 years ago, In English

Hii This guy named EvilMorgana obfuscated all his submissions. For example https://codeforces.me/contest/1312/submission/72833573 His previous 2 accounts were banned due to this and he is repeating this. His previous accounts are buihoatpt2k3provip buihoatpt2k3 Same thing happened there. For example https://codeforces.me/contest/1305/submission/72346939 https://codeforces.me/contest/1305/submission/72343779 Do check this once and take action plsss

What do they even have to gain from this? I can imagine that maybe they don't want to be hacked, but the source codes are copiable in Educational round and it is trivial to turn this into readable code.

(Also, is there even any benefit to not getting hacked in Educational round? If there is any decent systest after the hacking phase, then a wrong solution will fail anyway).

    Obfuscating code is not allowed on codeforces.
    Spend some time in reading blogs linked in registration tab the ones you agree upon before registration.

      Does that mean (#define int long long) should not be allowed?

        To quote from codeforces rules which you didn't read when I said above.

        It is forbidden to obfuscate the solution code as well as create obstacles for its reading and understanding. That is, it is forbidden to use any special techniques aimed at making the code difficult to read and understand the principle of its work.

          First of all. Mind your language. Secondly, I did read that.

          Using (#define int long long) does make the program difficult to understand the principle of its work. So why is that also allowed?

            I hate being mentioned unless it's absolutely necessary.

            Tagging me was not at all required. Better tag Mike here and ask him. I don't work for codeforces. Hence not responsible for answering why they don't do this.
