Still same situation

356

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:

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.

Cheating can be brought down a lot if the contest is reduced to around 2hrs which is actually sufficient the extra time is useless imo and the cook off are even ridiculous with 3:30 hrs

bro, I don’t understand your concept, I mean to solve a question there may be 4 or 5 logic max, so I think many would have done with the same logic without even knowing it.
And for the same code issue, I myself use the variables provided in the question like t, n, a, b, etc.
someone else might have done the same thing, so that doesn’t mean that person or I cheated.

Hi everyone,
for the last month I’ve been receiving emails from CodeChef accusing me of plagiarism in different contests I took part.

The contests are the following:

As you can clearly see, it’s quite obvious that the solutions were copied, but I can assure you I came up with these solutions by my own and I can easily explain them; you can even check submissions to other problems in the platform to see that it is my style and template.

Furthermore, if you look at the profiles of the people whose code is similar to mine, some of them have been accused of plagiarism before.

Despite telling the Help team that I’ve never cheated (and never would I), they replied to me with an automatic message saying that it is my responsibility to take care of my code.

I totally agree with that, but I’m pretty sure that it’s impossible that someone would have been able to steal my code during the contests, since I use VSCode to debug my solutions locally and then I immediately upload them to CodeChef.

I’m writing because after two months of doing contests, I had finally reached Div 1 (2066 rating), but now because of this situation my rating has dropped a lot, and further will do.

First of all I would like someone inside the CodeChef team to read this message and hopefully help me.
Second, I would like to know if anyone else has faced or is facing a similar situation.

Thanks for the attention and I hope I will receive a positive response.

Same issue here @admin

371

Why there is decrease in my rating without no reason more than 100 points have been deducted what is the reason for this

372

Since I started programming, I have never ever , and never thought off, cheating. But I dont know why I have been plagiarized, it ruined all of mine hardwork till date. @admin please see to this matter and resolve it as soon as possible. Also after many ups and downs I reached 1500+ rating but one false plagiarism strike took all the way back, now it doesnt even feel to open my graph…

373

Also I did not received a single mail regarding this claim.

For cheating. A detailed email would have been sent to you.
