Updates on curtailing plagiarism

I made a post too, lets see what happens.

@admin Why are you hiding this post?

“Like why CodeChef doesn’t do anything about it?”

And yes, you are getting temp blocked for posting this intentionally before the contest ends. Will be made public soon after.

Thank you, I’m not going to use Codechef in future. I guess you yourself are seling solutions in Telegram.

youtube channel
please look at this youtube channel providing answers live during contest.

@admin help this guy @shivammmm


why would this guy cheat

Hi @admin, I’m sorry for being extremely rude during last contest. I was really upset after seeing someone(first hand) publically leaking solutions of good problems. I learnt that cheaters won’t stop cheating, just need to be faster than the fastest cheater.

It’s ok. Being rude wasn’t the issue. It was leaking the YT link during the contest and intentionally increasing the possibility of others cheating. That is why your account was silenced on discuss for a few days.

It also takes time to get the links down. I believe the link you reported has been struck down now, and the channel is removed once we can get a few strikes through. None of this is deterministic either. So yeah, we do things that we can. We can’t miraculously stop all cheating.

Source of Cheating -

(the code was pinned in the comment section)

I found total of 66 similar solution which I have mailed and there could be more.

Every code has same logic and structure. A function and a while loop used with a label.

Most of these people haven’t also changed the name of label.

The names of the variables, spaces and comments are changed but the basic structure of the main code is same.

Many more solutions could be same as I can’t keep checking everyone’s solution.

Please look into this matter asap and take
strict action against all of these accounts.

The people who are doing real hardwork are being compromised here and this isn’t very good for the reputation of Codechef.

Even if the cheaters are punished, then also we are not going to gain any rating.

Why is that?

As our rating is not going to be updated again by codechef with the updated rank

@apt_dpd @vedasjad - Ratings are recomputed every month.
After removing cheaters - ratings for all contests till 1st November have been recomputed.
Ratings for all contests till 1st Dec will be completed early next week.
So on every month.

Thank you for providing updates on the plagiarism checks and penalties on the platform. It’s important to have a fair and honest competition, and it’s good to see that efforts are being made to ensure that plagiarism is addressed in a timely manner. It’s also helpful to see the statistics on the number of users penalized for each contest. Keep up the good work.
