How fair is the Top Contributors list?

How do you know who upvoted whom?

This is happening again now.
@pkien got more than 20 upvotes from @nit01.
@anshal21 got about 10 upvotes from @anmol137dh08 and also about 7 from @saksham2405.
This is not fair. They are all getting upvotes from their friends.

2 or 3 upvotes is fine as their friends sometimes need laddus to ask questions but these people are getting upvotes for coming in the top contributors list.

@mathecodician few days ago I informed admin about this issue and they said they will look into this matter, but they haven’t done anything yet, although you can mail them at feedback@codechef.com.

user @an2609 has got total 18 upvotes from @vinay_goel21, @prrateekk, and @ishan_nitj and 10 upvotes from @kapoor_rakshit and all of them are from same college.

Hey All, we will look into all these cases and will take necessary action. However, we would strongly recommend to report any such instances through email with some concrete evidence, rather than posting them on the forum it will help us look into the issue in a better way.

Again now @arpit728 ‘the top contributor of last month’ was voted a lot by @saksham458. About 5-6 times in one minute. It is again happening now.

@ash_code
If the admin has said they will look into the matter, leave it to them. Why is everybody going on doing their own investigation and taking names? It is not correct to take names on a public platform. Grow Up.

This is very unfair.

Open Codechef Discussion profile then see ‘karma history’.

13

Yes. Just open ‘karma history’ and you will know.

14

Some of the users who upvoted have not solved even 1 problem on codechef. They might be the same person.

15

Also all these upvotes are within like 15 minutes so it’s not a coincidence.

16

@admin please see.

17

It turns out that @pkien only upvoted @nit01 answers for him to upvote @pkien.

Do you know the e-mail id of codechef discuss so I can mail them.

20

They get 20 upvotes answering 10 questions whereas I have answered more than 50 questions for coming in the top contributor list. All the hardwork goes waste like this.

21

I mailed them. Thanks for taking some action.

Thanks for the email id.

That’s basically 280 free karma points.
