Plagiarism for using templates?

general
1

Can my account be flagged for plagiarism/cheating if I’m using templates found online? My code involves a debug template from a codeforces blog, and I’m worried if codechef can flag my account for cheating if someone else is also using that debug template

You are already a four star coder, you should know better.

If templates are huge and two people use the same, it can cause plagiarism. Mention the source from where you have taken the code. If you already have been notified about plagiarism. Then mail them regarding the source you have taken from. You can also take codes from online websites provided you have mentioned the source.
