Use this for anything related to plagiarism - Reporting cheating, appeals, etc

@admin from our heart please accept one request , please do not make rating changes untill MOSS caught cheaters and updated ranklist either it take 10 or 20 days but please do not update , this is too much , sometimes it’s really frustrating and sad because users just cheat and then show off like they did very well and so much of hard work blah blah blah … Please consider this request , the genuine users have no issue with this ( I hope so) .

admin · October 12, 2020, 3:24pm

Sorry, that’s just not feasible, as the MOSS process, even in the best case scenario takes many weeks to complete.

ssrivastava990 · October 12, 2020, 3:28pm

Then do something else please because if this type of thing is going on , very bad for community , also one suggestion separate long ratings with total combined rating , and increase at least 2 short contest more .

Also , on each question if possible please write on top / bottom in RED color that CC takes very serious actions against those who cheat , at least 30 to 40% cheating will be less.

I don’t understand why people are so much obessed with the rating, & also with the cheaters. Those who are cheating they are actually harming themself. Just leave them sooner or later they will understand. Codechef need to take care of lots of thing instead of just caring for cheaters.

So atlast you have understood after plagiarism 6 times.

anon70677113 · October 12, 2020, 3:40pm

Ofc yes.

its_ravi · October 12, 2020, 5:10pm

Bruh its not only me many people out here uses multi accounts . I’m just smurfing on other one

avi_9314 · October 12, 2020, 5:43pm

i am not a big fan of reporting accounts for plag

but today i saw something weird

this guy

posted on linkedln about his great achievement during the contest but on seeing his solutions one can easily find that they all those "copied " solution(modified very smartly) which we have seen throughout the day …it gets more weird when i came to find that this guy is not even from IIT bombay he is just from college in UP… this is quite stupid of people to boast about themselves like this on social media

These are few of the many solutions for ADDSQURE in OCT Long Challenge 2020, that were submitted mere minutes before the end of the contest i.e. 3 P.M. on 12th of October.

All of them, many of them 3 stars and 4 stars coders, have submitted the exact same code!

It’s really disappointing that everyone’s running behind ratings when all of it is about learning.

veryfewac · October 14, 2020, 5:31am

all these students are from my college IIT BHU and have copied the exact same code of ADDINGSQUARE from some unknown source.
here is their submission link:

i_code78 · October 14, 2020, 5:33am

There are 234 more solutions which have exactly same code. Thie solution was mass leaked.

error40 · October 17, 2020, 8:39pm

I want to report a group of people with proof of their solutions submitted who have been coping codes and solving together only for the sake of increase their ratings while we all who are participating in a minimal amount but due to these cases of cheating our rating is not increasing as much it should be. Sharing the solutions of some who just started their coding journey with plagiarism and some who are doing this for a long time
Please put these in the link after https://www.codechef.com/ for viewing the code

Global rank 15. gg

avi_9314 · October 23, 2020, 6:15am

Yeah

therealnishuz · November 7, 2020, 8:24am

@admin please remove this user from the school ranklist (division 2). The institution mentioned in the profile is “Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology Sangrur, Punjab, India” but it shows “Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram” in the ranklist.

mmlunchtime · November 16, 2020, 8:56am

already emailed (more than 4 times, same cheaters with copy pasted code), used this thread, created a new thread(which got unlisted by @akshitm16, ironically saying to report it @cc mail). idk what else i can do
hell, dont even bother to read this, just see the past few comments by shammi22 or veryfewac, not a things has been done.

ashish_kaur · November 16, 2020, 9:01am

Dont worry bro, they take some time but they will surely decrease their rating. Their system is slow, takes months to penalise

mmlunchtime · November 16, 2020, 9:02am

bruh you dont even need moss to see the noob level of plag they do

mmlunchtime · November 16, 2020, 9:04am

are you sure? because its been atleast 3 months. dont say it takes a year please
edit: in this very thread you can find plags till july-august that are listed

ashish_kaur · November 16, 2020, 9:11am

Yes, it really takes 1 year. They panelised 2018 plagiarism just 3 months before. You shouldn’t expect to happen this before February atleast
