Plagiarism penalties - Ratings drop - August 2020

Single solution not multiple solution but submitted in multiple accounts

I know some persons who were cheated in long challange just to get rating if i mention here can you check their submissions whether cheated or not?

I meant did you submit one by one or had some script to submit

The Lockdown months, particularly MAY20 and JUL20 had a lot of plagiarism groups and YouTube Videos active during the contest. Please check JUL20 ASAP @admin as Intern Season is coming and they may misuse this Rating. My friend got -100 just because he didnt cheat :slight_smile:

Congo for 6 star , , :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

As far as I see, it’s 275 not 460 and how is it rude? You may read CodeChef’s Code Of Conduct. It infact became a blessing in disguise.

one thing is admin. if a thief is caught by police and jailed and released, it is necessary to hang a board on his shoulder ‘I AM A THIEF’ ? Same why u write ‘CAUGHT IN PLAGARIASM’ ?

@rns5 got 1st rank in oct19 challenge when moss tells he cheated ? how was that possible ? who would he have copied from , only himself.

the point is why u r showing a rectangle for people who unknowling caught codechef. simply u can decrease rating without the special symbol, everyone will be ok for with it. We are humans, we are not GOD to punish people. Its only a mistake not a illegal crime. yes, some people do compete with passion but what is the fun in seeing others fail in life(those who have problem answer this).

i think everyone willing for @admin to answer. @admin should answer the questions and give justice to the people.

Totally Agreed @admin ANSWER THIS

and you tag me because …?

Strongly disagree, I refuse to call any violation of the rules a “mistake”.
And in all cases where there are rules there is also someone who verifies that the rules are followed and manages the consequences if not.

A users ratings go down anyways due to plagiarism…why bother them to make a new account that helps them erase history?

true I’ve heard certain youtube channels are giving out solutions to long challenges while the challenge is still going on…@admin

I totally agree to the points.I have a friend who was 4 star. He was plagiarised in the 1st contest on codechef in his 1st year. But because of this triangle on his graph, he had to delete his account and start again a new account. Absolutely bad for him. Instead just decrease rating thats it.

You got to live with the consequences of your mistakes.

If Amazon is visiting any campus, then mind you the competition in that college will be really really tough. Dont consider on campus placements to be easy. Had they been getting good employees from off campus recruitment only, there would have been no campus recruitments. You should understand

@proton13
There is a rule stating this exactly,

You shall not possess more than one account on CodeChef. If you have, then do let us know, so that we can deactivate the insignificant one. If you do not report it and we come to know about it, we may deactivate both the accounts permanently.

CodeChef has put this rule on every contest page, so it would be your fault entirely.

They will not deactivate the insignificant one,we ourselves have to delete it. i agree they should penalize -275 point but should not remove the submission (as if we did not participate), because that is the code written by ourselves not cheated from someone and also it should not be tagged as plagiarism .

yeah
sometimes u need to show them how good u are at cheating

This is equivalent to a FIR registered. It is there in their database. What you say is illogical
