In my opinion,people cheat to inflate their ratings and showcase on Linkedin or somewhere.If Long Challenge gets unrated , i think people will not cheat much.

it doesnât matter where u stand in the leaderboard. I mean its just a platform to practice and check urself how capable u are. Always think on the bright side as you said u are gaining knowledge right then why u get depressed. I know itâs annoying but lets ignore the cheaters and do more practice.

Ideally, if you want to report that some users have cheated, or if you want to appeal against having been caught for plagiarism, you should only send an email to help@codechef.com , and wait for a few weeks to get a reply.
But despite this instruction, if you do feel that you need to say something publicly, you can use this topic. Any other new topic/comment that you start related to this will be closed, and you will also risk getting suspended.

Thatâs rude
But necessary
Do you seriously think that during a contest (esp. the short ones), coders would have all the time to check out all test-cases?
I would suggest after a coder has got AC, the solution should be locked/hidden until the contest is over.
Totally agree with youâŚ

they use MOSS for plag check, so basically if about 85%+ code is similar, then it is considered as cheating
Not for simple questions, as then the codes are mostly similarâŚ
@admin One thing which can be done is to keep the deadline of each question to one day. That way a participant can get ample amount of time on the problem, and cheating can be reduced a lot.
brother Its codechef account, not oneâs resumeâŚbtw who told you these tricks
Those who are cheating in long challenge and taking AC solutions from their friends. Tell me one thing,
Will they be able to do so on codeforces? Where all contests are short and based on time.
Will they be able to do so in their interviews?
These people will soon get to know about their foolish act i must say.
