Quick Introduction

Most of the cheaters getting accused mainly fall into the group of newly created accounts.

Possible solution ...

A technique that has proven effective in many ranked PvP games like Valorant, League of Legends, etc., involves restricting access to ranked play until a player has gained some experience. This helps to reduce the number of cheaters and duplicate accounts, as it creates a barrier to entry for those who might create new accounts to cheat or exploit the system.

For Codeforces, a similar approach could be implemented. Specifically, Codeforces could start allowing a person to participate officially in a contest only after they have completed a certain number of preliminary contests, for example, 20 contests.

Initial Participation: New users would initially participate in contests unofficially. These contests would allow them to get familiar with the platform, understand the rules, and hone their skills without affecting the official rankings.

Milestone Achievement: After participating in 20 contests, these users would then be eligible to participate in official ranked contests. This threshold ensures that they have a reasonable level of experience and reduces the chance of encountering cheaters who might create new accounts for quick gains.

PROS

  1. This will reduce people's will to create new accounts.
  2. For a new legit user he/she will be more confident after giving 20 contests than jumping straight into the ranks.

CONS

"I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this!"
