Right Guys. This is spoiling the CodeChef fun. Please do something to stop this. I am also shocked by this news.
yes
this should be stopped
could not upvote due to less karma , can someone upvote me please!
What codechef can do is ,during the contest ,the display page on which the question appears ,that can be restricted such that no one can cut/copy or paste anything from that page. So that people cannot copy the code from various sources & paste it on the IDE.**
**This way they’ll have to type the code anyhow.
If cut,copy,paste is prohibited then people can’t copy code from the ide/texteditor in which they code like codeblocks,dev etc.Passionate people always avoid these malpractices.People who copy paste other’s code will do it for only few months and after that he/she would get bored and will have no pleasure doing that.But once if he/she thinks for days and gets a green tick,the pleasure he/she would get cannot be equalised even by royal riches.So my advice for people who copy is to awake asap and enjoy the pleasure of getting green ticks by yourself.
I dont think copy pasting is a major problem here. Infact, the problem is copying someone else’s logic or way of solving a problem without making any major effort from ur side.
I also believe in a fair and square contest . Any form of illegal actions should be taken care of. But i am unable to upvote due to less karma to show my support.
The account of the person amit amit(youtube channel) was identified and banned just after the contest ended.
I also wanted to upvote ,but due to less karma I couldn’t.
with august challnge coming up , this should not repeat or else the fun enthu will be spoiled
yes the people who are newbies will feel demotivated due to this cause.
done bro…
Here, have my upvote
but seems the admin is avoiding it.
admin has the power to take actions .but it does not, unfair enough
I too noted the same! Had a post regarding this too… Utkarsh advised to mail at feedback[at]codechef[dot]com. Let’s do it and make the admin aware!
i can guess the power codechef has , he can have a talk to the youtube section guys, and may be there is some law related to this
you sure that he is the guy.
Yes. But don’t know if he has some other codechef account toofrom which he operates. And I also don’t know if he is alone. But I’m sre he is one of them
