Introduction: In recent days, I've come across an unsettling practice that threatens the values we hold dear as part of the Codeforces community. Someone is attempting to sell an Expert-rated Codeforces account on Telegram. This not only undermines the hard work and dedication of honest users but also damages the credibility of the rating system.

The Problem: Codeforces is a place where programmers push their limits, learn, and grow through competition. Achieving an Expert rating is no small feat—it's the result of months or even years of effort. Yet, some individuals see it as an opportunity for quick financial gain by selling accounts.

This is not just a violation of the community's trust but also a direct violation of the platform's rules. Purchasing an account and pretending to have a certain level of skill without earning it is unfair to everyone who has spent time and energy improving their abilities.

Why This Matters: 1. Undermining Effort: Every rank on Codeforces is a symbol of hard work. Allowing individuals to purchase accounts diminishes the value of legitimate progress. 2. Damaging the Community: This behavior fosters dishonesty and devalues the importance of genuine skill in programming. 3. Long-term Consequences: If such practices are allowed to continue unchecked, it could erode the trust and spirit of competition that makes Codeforces unique.

A Call to Action: I urge the Codeforces community to join me in reporting this unethical behavior. Let us keep our platform clean and free from those who would try to exploit it for personal gain. Account to be sold : [__Say_My_Name](https://codeforces.me/profile/__Say_My_Name)

  1. Report the Seller: If you've come across the seller of the Expert account, I ask you to report the user to Telegram's support team immediately. This behavior violates not only Codeforces' rules but also the spirit of fairness in competition. His username is (@Abhishek_kumar_Oa_hlper) , his channel link  image 1  image 2

  2. Alert the Admins: I would like to call upon the creator and admin of Codeforces, MiraMirzayanov, BledDest, Geothermal to take swift action against accounts being sold on third-party platforms like Telegram. Stricter monitoring and banning of such accounts will deter this behavior.

Conclusion: The integrity of our community is in our hands. Let's make sure that Codeforces remains a place where skill, dedication, and honesty are valued above all. Report any suspicious activities, and let’s work together to keep our platform fair and clean.

Together, we can protect what we've worked so hard to build.
