the rating should be updated as it isn’t the problem with me, its the problem with many of us that should be considered by the admin

Come on just because you think some one is suspect of cheating you decrease their ratings so much… I coded every problem myself not a single help from anyone and was managed to solve 5 fully and 3 partially and all I get is a fall of 3000 pts. This is highly unfair…

I scored 650 pts in NOV14 and didn’t copy any code from anywhere, not even asked someone for any kind of help. But it doesn’t show any NOV14 submission in my account. But it still shows world rank 196 in new ranking table. This is not fair @admin. Please do something about it.

I also had 450.3 points in NOV long and all problems are coded by me itself and now my codechef account is showing no problems and rating has been dropped.
In Oct long challenge i shared my code for one problem with my friend and got punished, codechef didn’t consider my any question. My all hard work got wasted. I didn’t complain about this.
But now this is not cool. This is highly demotivating.
I had a rank of 2000(globally) and now my rank in 31000.
I have also mailed this scenario at help@codechef.com.
@admin please look into the issue or please provide an explanation for the issue.

I did not copy someone’s code. I think asking to find a minor bug is not plagiarism. It means ‘the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own’.

I like the way you betrayed your friend poke19962008… And it seems, he was punished in OCT14 and learned just one thing - to create fake account :-/

The ‘suspect’ is innocent till found ‘guilty’. I know I did all code by myself. Codechef plagiarism detector doesn’t has the right to disqualify me without even telling me about what I did wrong. And what did they matched for in all those codes was it the #include

You shouldn’t have been penalized for that because you did solve that problem first
No. But I know one should keep the code secret or private while using ideone.
Hi @betlista ! I haven’t received any mail and my ratings have dropped badly, my rank from 5k to 23k. What should I do?
The codechef code of conduct says, “Asking for help is not bad. Taking others’ code and claiming it to be your own is wrong.”

I have already sent a mail to feedback@codechef.com but I have not received any response yet. I hope that team codechef replies back as soon as possible or atleast send me the mail they claim they will send to those whose rating have been decreased because I have not even received that. @admin please look into the issue and respond to our queries asap.
