I usually don't like writing negative blogs, but after seeing some of the comments on recent posts, I feel we need to talk about the direction our community is heading.↵

It started when I noticed user [user:monkey_is_back,2026-03-12] replying to me with an offensive picture. Curious, I decided to check his other comments to see if it was a one-off mistake. Unfortunately, I found a pattern of pure toxicity and racism that I think crosses every line a competitive programmer should have:↵
↵
1. Targeting a newcomer with racism: ["Hello, bloody indian. I am from your father country."](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/152010#comment-1353055)↵
2. Abusing someone trying to post solution of a problem if it will be helpful to someone: ["Stop posting this shit you bloody sun of a beach"](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/151996#comment-1353009)↵
3. Insulting another user directly in a joke thread: ["Because alice is a hoe like GHOUS1425."](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/151927#comment-1352661)↵
4. Using racial slurs while mocking someone's achievement: ["Yo N1GGA, how you managed to get -ve rating bruh? Big congo btw"](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/147364#comment-1352464)↵

We are all here to learn, compete, and grow. Comments like these don't just break the rules; they actively discourage beginners and create a hostile environment for everyone. It’s the opposite of sportsmanship.↵
↵
I urge [user:monkey_is_back,2026-03-12] to reflect on this and stop. I also want to ask the community and the admins ([user:MikeMirzayanov,2026-03-12], [user:Vladosiya,2026-03-12]): What can we do to prevent this?↵
↵
Should there be stricter penalties for first-time hate speech? Is there a better way to report such users quickly? I believe we can all agree this is unacceptable, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on how to fix it.↵

**UPD: And he is back again with a different** The same user has returned with a new handle: [user:doantunglamdatrang,2026-03-13], and with worse comments than ever! (here we go again with this toxicity pattern)is now posting even more offensive comments. This pattern of toxicity continues.↵
↵
###Solutions (from comments)↵
- **IP-based bans**: Instead of just banning accounts, consider IP bans after a certain number of reports (e.g., $n$ reports) to prevent users from simply creating new accounts.↵
- **Keyword-based harassment detection**: Implement a simple filter that flags comments containing common offensive words or racial slurs.↵
- **NLP-based harassment detection**: Use a more advanced natural language processing model that can understand context and detect harassment even without explicit keywords.
