[Mitul_Rana]

At which date the price counter will open ?

[THANOS_BROTHER]

I'm excited for the new Arcade season! To ensure a fair and engaging experience, I recommend:

Stricter ID Verification: Implement robust measures to prevent multiple accounts.

Manual Labs: Introduce labs like Looker Labs that require hands-on interaction.

CloudShell Restriction: Disable CloudShell on Qwiklabs platforms to discourage script usage.

These steps will promote genuine learning and skill development, enhancing the Arcade experience for all participants.

Sincerely,

Thanos Bhai 😉

[yashgoyal365]

The idea of ID Verification, Manual labs are good but they can't restrict Cloud shell as it is a crucial part for the participants who really want to learn cloud as in industry UI interaction is very rare all people uses Cloud Shell commands to perform various tasks.

[Sabir4cdor]

Yes, sometimes cloud shell is absolute necessity for some activities.

[Mitul_Rana]

When will the prize counter will open ?

[yashgoyal365]

Prize counter might open today or on Jan 01, 2025 keep an eye on your mail box.
