totally agree with your point!
What are ranks then ?
Making just one contest unrated wouldn’t have any effect. Cheaters will continue to do so in future. It would be better if codechef comes up with some different idea or type of contest.

See these for reference :
It’s icc-rankings of cricket. I believe everyone will agree with me that ‘cricket’ is a sport. Hence I answered your questions.

Calm down dude why be so obsessed with ratings, if you got the skill then you can do it as many times you want, so why bother ?

For someone who himself Plagiarised his code you have got a lot on you as well!!!
agreed bro but why are you so angry let them be plagiarized they aren’t smart enough to code then they aren’t smart enough to hide that they plagiarized.
LOL even the comments are same !
English is the only accepted language on this forum 
I just checked their solutions and as expected, their logic and most variable names are same. Some of them have used a different template and different formatting.
Now people cheats in Long challenge.
I stop giving Long.
But cheating also started in short contests too and it is too much frustrating.
Not a silly comparison. What people do in LONG is worse than the sandpaper incident.

Strongly agree with you.
How did you estimate that though I mean that is there a way to get language distribution of the submissions?

How about people who played fair and got a positive rating change? Would it be fair to undo all of their work as well? I don’t think so. I would rather ban every account involved in cheating. However, it is also not an ideal solution. Once upon the time, I accidentally used ideone and somebody copied my solution. As much as I understand my mistake, I don’t think that rating penalty is a solution, I would just exclude people from standings on the first occasion, especially if there is no established evidence of intentional cheating (that’s it, I don’t know the person who copied my solution back in February 2019).
I don’t know anything about this case but saying that if somebody is using python and C++ is probably cheating is just wrong. Especially in long challenges. I myself prefer and use almost exclusively python, but there was a case when my python code got TLE even though my algorithm was correct so I implemented the same algorithm in C++ and got all test cases accepted. (This was in another platform’s long challenge, but you get the idea.) Certain things are much faster in C++ than in python and I sometimes switch if I feel that is the case.

no please don’t make it unrated :(.
Just go to submission page select language and AC you will see the stats
