I should have posted it a long time back, but I guess it's never too late.

Just went through this guy's profile, and this is what I saw:
A bunch of useless defines and fake functions. -_-

 #define st string
 #define o for(int i = 0; i < R; i++)
 #define o1 for(int i = 0; i < G; i++)
 #define o2 for(int i = 0; i < B; i++)
 #define o5 for(int i = R; i >= 0; i--)
 #define o6 for(int j = G; j >= 0 ; j--)
 #define o7 for(int c = B; c >= 0; c--)
 #define b1 for (int i = 0; i < s.size(); i++)
 #define b2 for (int i = 0; i < v.size(); i ++)
using namespace std;
string check2(string a, string b)
{
    if(a == "Aziz"  &&  b == "Aziz")
        cout << "OK";
    return 0;
}
string check3(string a, string b)
{
    if(a != "Aziz"  &&  b != "Aziz")
        cout << "NO";
}

This is really shame. What the hell people thinking while cheating? Codeforces doesnt give you money because of your high rating. No platform does. Cheaters are really someone who lack brain.

      Even FAANG won't give you job offer just because you are expert or CM in CF. If some one due to cheating reaches upto expert , he/she definetely cannot clear the interviews. Only your true knowledge will help you out. And ofcourse, maximum someone can gain from cheating is expert or CM. No one can reach Grandmaster , master or International master by cheating. Sooner they realise this, better it will be for them.

don't feel bad that many peoples are cheating so your rank is not improving much, just do as much practice so that you can solve the questions before that person who solve and spread the solution for help in cheating , because there is someone who is solving before you , and also system is improving to detect the cheaters time to time.

One of the ways is assessing the standard of the question with the no of questions the person(total question in practice problem-set section ) has solved as , say if a problem is solved by 5000 persons then there should be some benchmark that the person should have solved threshold no of problems say in this case 150-250 (single threshold) and if we continuously repeat this and we can observe that cheater will always be under that threshold and lets say he is given 3-5 warnings and then some stringent action is taken..

    This gives meaningless results because many people don't practice on CF.
