Contests are just for improving skills. Isme cheating krke long run m kya he mil jayega inhe. Let us work on ourselves and stop giving our precious time thinking about the cheaters.
I think CodeChef should stop hosting long challenges or at least make it unrated and ban the accounts of all the people who just copy others solution and add some useless functions and loops to avoid MOSS test.
PLEASE donāt make it unrated. It will waste 10 days of my hard work. I got 61 rank (inclusive of cheating in TILESQRS). My overall rank was 14 one day back. Since problem setter of TILESQRS discovered that 192/227 solutions of TILESQRS are copied. Once those solutions are removed, I think I will get the 14 rank again.
Even if cheated solutions are not removed, Iām ok with 61 rank but at least donāt make it unrated. I suffered with same problem when last short contest was made unrated. It wasted my time.

Trueā¦ but sadly people only care about ratings so that they can show off their ratings like a prized possession to bag referrals and interview opportunities 
what about those people who have worked their asses off for 10 days. Donāt they deserve any rating change? Doesnāt matter cheaters are getting rating changes or not but those who have fairly given the contest they at least deserve some fruit for their hard work.
Bro as if it is some JEE exam where rank matters

Got a bit frustrated there.
So you should be happy with your rank right, how does making the contest unrated affects you ?

Itās more than JEE exam. Rank matters because itās deciding criteria of many hardcore research companies/labs. Codechef is a sport. Just like a JEE is sport. The actual fun of a game is only when there is āscoringā in game. Do you know any game without scoring ?
Iāve been solving codechef problems since years but didnāt submit/write the code. This time I wrote the code ā¦ only for ratingsā¦ o.w. I could have simply solved in notebook. but if they donāt count rating for this contest, it will be very bad for me.
Ok. So you believe CP is sport. Tell me name of ONE sport, which is fun to play and which donāt have āscoringā ?
and first of all, asking for the rating āyou deserveā is not same as ārunning behind ratingsā. There is not āsadā part in asking for the rating you deserve.

Second - Iām not looking for any company test. Iām already a working professional and I design questions for coding-exam for hiring candidates.
Third - What if the ācompanyā is not ready to take your test if you are not 5* on codechef, then ? What if HR is dumb enough to not understand anything you wrote in your resume except CP-rating and reject your resume ? There will be not test in that case.
CP is a sport. Every sport has āscoringā. Only then there is a fun playing it.

totally agree with your point!
What are ranks then ?
Making just one contest unrated wouldnāt 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 :
Itās icc-rankings of cricket. I believe everyone will agree with me that ācricketā is a sport. Hence I answered your questions.
