lol i got -30 rating

what up with you guys

It is a good perception.
But you can’t deny cheating, i am just a beginner and got telegram posts of students asking about solutions.

Mine was one of them, and entirely honest. There are a lot of us out there beavering away.

If they want, they can cheat on day one as well.
Maybe just that people helping them might not have solved the questions so early.

what I have seen is people participate in long challenge with their friends and divide questions to solve and in last few days they share logics and hence the result is increase number of submissions.
THE HARSH REALITY OF LONG CHALLENGE

exactly and the purpose of long challenge is getting vanished day by day…something needs to be done…

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.
