Long Contest Harsh Reality

I was a little pissed off when I posted the earlier comment.
I am rather relaxed now.
So
Like I said people put solutions of easy problems online and that does NOT affect you.
I didn’t say reduce the long challenge or anything,If someone wants to give it they can,if they don’t want to ,they have a choice.It did affect me when you replied to someone else.But a couple 1000 more submission of EVEN Matrix doesn’t affect you(as in your rank).
You don’t even get the point,I am not talking about cheating in telegram groups or what not but the posting of solutions on youtube.Nobody puts the solution of CONTAIN on youtube because they (the cheaters) are not able to solve it. What affected me was that you were stopping someone from criticizing which is wrong…
Ohh never mind,I just saw that you are still in school…I apologize.
It’s a discussion forum,speak your mind

No problem. FYI, @wickedknight has been banned for cheating in the long challenge.

That’s ironic.
I wasn’t standing up for him anyway.
But he put like 5 comments critcizing cheaters on my blogpost.
But I suppose that was to be a top contributor.

That’s surprising. It seemed like he was the one most affected due to the long challenge shenanigans, but it turns out he was also one of them? Wow! Very hypocritical.

His id is deleted, from which he was handling that account.

All of them were relatively fresh accounts. Seems to be troll or something like that.

Same Bro Literally I was at 230 and my rank went to 480

That @wickedknight guy legit copied codes for practice problems too :joy:.

There could be Register button for Long Challenges.
Registered users will get a rating change and the button would be disabled after 2-3 days of starting time.
This could avoid last day submission rush. :confused: (specially for DIV II)

Division 1 Rank 1 submitted all problems in the last hour. What a legend.

My account got blocked because i had another account or something…
@wickedknight and @trial_codes were found to be duplicate accounts…”

Please explain your copied solutions in the March Long Challenge.

hey, it isn’t cheating since both the accounts were mine
I was just using the second one to run the codes first (perfectionist OCD - didn’t want too many WAs on @wickedknight )
