@admin I really appreciate your decision regarding rating decrease but I still feel rule 9 in Codechef Code of Conduct needs another thought. It is really hard for me to understand why Codechef allows this.

This is not the case where you need to complain about plagiarism, he had submitted this code in practice section and not in contest.

Felt good after seeing changes, don’t know why but felt good :joy:

he solved ACCBIP, SUBSFREQ for 100 pts each in like 3 minutes (not to mention CHEFCOMP in 2, and the first 5 in one minute each…)

@admin, the ideone code for CHEFWED is not visible.
CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone this is a completely copied solution.
And this @wicked_knight who makes threads on cheating himself uses unethical methods to gain rating. Here is his solution:
CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
As you can clearly see, he has used unnecessary comments and has changed variable names.
CodeChef has taken strict action and I hope that you will do so in this case as well. He has already been banned before but can’t seem to learn from his mistakes. Thank you.
@ssrivastava990 what is your opinion on this?

@wicked_knight what benefit do you get by cheating? It is absolutely disgusting. Stop accusing others if you yourself don’t follow the rules.
Shame on you.

I opened this discussion long ago when I read this rule for the first time. But noone ever continued it. You can read it and links in it to find why this rule exists and why was it introduced in first place.

dear admins, here you go the copied codes again at least you can do is to block this account users who r here for doing nothing but to make us depressed and to increase our ranks even in unrated and rated contests, how long will u not take action we r all waiting

@admin couple of months ago I got a mail from neha help@codechef.com about your solution got plag. with another user but I have written explain why our code matches and I provided every proof for the source for the algorithm that published 1-2 years before the contest and even after I did not get any reply I wrote 2-3 mail to help@codechef.com still no replies please look into my situation.

I did not see admin’s reply on any of the links. What I understood is people have been using this strategy for a long time for preparation of ICPC. I still feel it’s not fair.

  1. Those links mention that its a well known fact that NK winners participate as teams.
  2. There is no way to prove/find that submissions are made by single person or a team. Even if there is one is should be automated instead of manually checking all 0.5 million submissions.
  3. Dealing with MOSS is a huge burden on them. They dont want to read each and every mails where people just want to thow mud on others without any realistic proof.

Do you know any method for 2?
Apart from a random people claiming (writing post posts) “I know …, …, … participate in a team using … handle. Ban them”. Tomorrow I can just come and say tourist and petr participate as a team using ACRush handle. Ban all three.

@admin, Each one of them copied the same code of SKMP.
They think that stars on their profile matters, Lol!
All linked submission should get penalised and I want the names to be public so that they will never cheat in future.

Recently I was visiting submissions of top rankers from August Long 2020 to see their coding style and i got stuck at a place and what i saw was hilarious !

I have seen this account and his submissions and thought why these submissions are not detected by MOSS . He wrote 2000 lines of code(see this) and his main logic was only of 100 lines and he had 1900 lines of template which even consists of singly linked list . Have you ever seen any singly linked list question in any contest :zipper_mouth_face:?
Moreover, during practise he writes only 40 lines of code without template and in long he goes for 2000 lines(beyond imagination) and if you observe his main code he has many unnecessary loops and actions which is not part of his main code . If I talk about his accuracy , it is beyond imagination, he has all codes AC in one go in all long challenges .
This man has really tested the codechef MOSS . He has given codechef very nice test data to test their MOSS :joy:

This was the most hilarious account and cheating which I ever found .Worst part is that he is in Divison 1 :expressionless:.
All this indicates mal-practise which ultimately demotivates to code on codechef . Please take necessary and immediate actions .

Admin told me to use this topic to report this account here and what I found I am just telling to the community . Now it depends on codechef to see how to deal with such practise .

No I do not have any other alternative. MOSS has it’s limitations, that’s fine. My only point of curosity was why Codechef has mentioned this in the code of conduct. It is one thing to accept something as a limitation of the system, it’s another to allow something. I am very sure Codechef hasn’t inluded this for NK winners. I tagged admin to know that but seeing your blog I am convinced the admin is not interested in explaining this. IMO we can not stop anyone from participating as a team but it shouldn’t be in the code of conduct only because it can not be stopped.

Hello admins,

I am checking the solutions of some students whose codes are fully submitted then I got there are many students who are coping code of each other and only change is making some extra import or changing the variable name but the concept is the same. this act disappoints me a lot felt like how much spam is going on. The name of competitive coding is going down. The true coders are not getting the opportunity due to these type of people.

for geting good rating they can do anything
i am not getting this thing because when it comes to do such work in job then how will they do then they got stuck then they understand the importance of real work
people like us working hard to excel and to get good rating but cheater like this people are spoiling all the environement and demotivating the fellow coders.
