Sniping Cheaters — Episode 1: An Interesting Chat Interaction

Revision en1, by PiggyPump, 2026-09-26 01:57:31

So, our cheater (AK_YZY) posted a comment after AK'ing todays div 2:

Submissions: https://codeforces.me/submissions/AK_YZY Ranking: https://codeforces.me/contest/2267/standings/participant/247291877#p247291877

He boasted down in the comments section about how good he was at coding and how easy the contest was...

His original comment was "Pretty easy for a Div. 2, but still a really great round." (he changed it -- check revisions). I decided to respond with, that's "easy for a cheater to say".

What's intresting is that after a few hours, his comment gets +7 contribution and I get -11 contribution. Why? because he's abusing his cheated GM account to manipulate the voting system!

Take a look: https://codeforces.me/profile/zltz4 He literally smoked Benq, Tourist, (and many other legit LGM's) in a Div 1: https://codeforces.me/contest/2262/standings/participant/246384853#p246384853

Please listen to me Codeforces Mods, ban AK_YZY and his cheated GM account zltz4. His code is simply too clean to be written by a human with how small of a brain he has. I swear, I could beat this guy in a fair in-person 1v1 as a pupil.

Also, can I get a few upvotes from any viewers who agree with me, as compensation for helping catch this blatant cheater? I appreciate anyone who read this post.
