DON’T PARTICIPATE IN LONG CHALLENGES, I have seen many 1star coders who only participate long challenges and now have 3stars. Long challenges give birth to cheating. Also CC should ban the account for cheating it doesn’t matter how many stars profile has cheating is an offense and must be treated like that.
in July long 2 all solutions were available on YT. People who leak answers are really hurting the people who don’t cheat. CC should take down such channels on YT give them strikes.
I hate cheaters
It’s very sad to say that day by day the cheating during live contest are increasing . Today , I was giving Codechef Starters50 …things was going quite well till 9.00 pm but suddenly I was shocked to see that the submission of problem 4 of div 2 rises rapidly from 50-60 submission to 800+ submission within 10 minutes . And the funniest part was that all submission was in pypy3 , the guy who solve problem 1,2 and 3 in c++ was also submitting codes in python .
I hope codechef would look into this matter and improve its plag checker so that it will be the same codechef that was years back , whose rating do matters in company.
yes you are right
should give a choice to compete as rated or unrated otherwise others who genuinely solved ranks goes below.
Mass Cheating today, Just Watch Ranklist and insitute and check their code you can find plag easily.
Wow, this problem doesn’t seem trivial.
During the contest, I was wondering which obvious thing I am missing by looking at the number of solves.
as always mass cheating.
Request to codechef : stop making stupid and useless updates on the platform interface, just remove cheaters correctly, that’s all we want. I have known cheaters who have been cheating from last 10 to 15 contests and not have been plagiarized once, even after using same exact code as others.
@codechef try to detect plagiarized first and only after that make changes in rating we can wait after contest to get updated ratings
Yes there was a mass cheating in yesterday’s contest…
Please take some action…
One Telegram group is the master brain behind all this huge cheating going on in recent contests.
Group Link: Telegram: Contact @cp_coding_grp
There’s only one way to ban such Telegram and YouTube groups, and its by mass reporting and booking the group under copyright infringement. Telegram monitors and handles Copyright issues very precisely, so I think that’s one way to reduce the amount of cheating happening in contests. We as a community can make this happen and make Codechef a better place!
Also, don’t hesitate yourself from sharing any of those cheater group links here, even if you don’t share, some way or the other cheaters will find a way to reach such groups, so it’s always better to share them here and get those groups banned ASAP. What do you think guys???
This telegram group is also a mastermind : Telegram: Contact @leetcodegroup
live answers of almost all questions get published for free within 1hr of live contest
Still same situation
Many people have cheated in STARTERS 52 contest. I have found some of the solutions who have exactly same code or same logic so kindly decrease their ratings as soon as possible. Due to these kind of people, our rating gets decreased. Kindly see the below plagarised solutions:

Problem C (Div.2) is ruined
In the 5th problem, the submission was around 70 till 10:30 PM, and immediately after 10 minutes submission reached 350, Wow.
Like codeforces , rating changes should be done after a plagiarism check. Ratings should be calculated after removing cheaters.
