Dear @admin @shaily_adm
I have been falsely accused of a plagiarism case in the LTIME106D contest. The solutions that have been flagged are of easy level and short in nature, so there is no reason to copy a solution from anyone.

I have never tried to violate CodeChefā€™s code of conduct and would continue doing the same. I request you to look into the matter as this clearly is a co-incidental match.

Kindly reply to me as soon as possible because I have worked really hard to gain the ratings I currently have and will get demotivated if I get falsely accused.
I have already mailed back but got no response so far.
The matching solutions are:-

  1. CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
  2. CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

Thanks and Regards,
Ayush Kumar

It would be much better if the stats are written in the order of format and occurrence for eg. Stats of all the February events under February Title and then Starter events under Starter title and so on. This would be easier for everyone including the moderators to view and edit the stats.
Eg:

February 2022

Starters
Starter 1:
Starter 2:

Long Event
Long Event 1
Long Event 2

Dear @admin @shaily_adm
I have been wrongly plagiarised in START30B. My rating is decreased by 203 points without any reason. Also i have been participating consistently in the contests and the question in which i have been plagiarised was a standard easy question and there was not any reason for me to copy it. Further neither do I ever share my solution to anyone nor have i ever copied it from anybody.
Here is a link to my solution to the question
CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone.
Please @admin admin reply fast, I worked hard to become 4 star and was literally shocked to see that I had become 2 star. Please return my previous rating. Its not that I canā€™t become 4 star again but my rating was reduced without any reason, so I want it back.

Hello
I have been reported for plagiarism in some rounds but those rounds were very easy and it might be because of that the answers are similar.
I request you to take back the accusations as my rank has affected due to that.
Hope to see your positive reply.

Hi @admin
I have received a mail stating that I have been plagiarised even though I didnā€™t copy the code from anywhere, I donā€™t even know who that person is but I know that most of the Java coders write the code in the same way. I and that guy got plagiarised because we were not using any custom boilerplate code and we just codded directly, If I had a builder plate code which I have made myself there is no way I would have got plagiarised for simple logical codes like this.
That Guys Code: = CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
My Code: = CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

And why would I copy this code from anyone? and is there any better way to solve this question other than GCD?
If you guys are still going to plagiarise my code then instead of that just remove my account from this platform because I donā€™t wanna beg for mercy after working hard day and night.

Wrongfully Plagiarized. I am a beginner and I wrote the simplest code for the easiest problem LTIME of LTIME107D and they sent me plagiarism mail. I do not care about rankings but simply calling me a cheater that too on the simplest problem is not done.

can someone please review my solution and what tell what should I do to make them reconsider this decision.
