so u are saying u are the source of all these codes and everyone else cheated from ideone and uploaded in telegrams whatsapp groups and random websites ?
Are you trying to say that you are the author of all those cheated solution ? All hail emperor @soumik_06, we’ve found the source of all the cheating that has been happening all this while
Really disgraceful to see the beginners being fooled by some #so_called_expert_coders_in_their_own_world that they even buy solutions from them just for the sake of earning high ratings and star to look fancy. First of all , it is really bad for someone who is really willing to learn programming as cheating and copying will really not help . Instead it will block the thinking process and make even worse to cope up when exposed to some real life competitions without this shitty external aid.
The purpose of long challenges is to fight till the last moment and get as much problem as u could solve with the best of the capabilities of any particular user. But nowadays , the ball is in the other court. What the heck is going on we the people who try to solve problems work hard on them and rest guys copying solutions are the same. In this process, people attempting honestly will get disheartened as they are not being rewarded as much as they have applied the efforts.
Serious plaigirism checking needs to be done and the accounts needs to be deactivated as soon as it is found doubtful. @admin something seriously has to be done about it otherwise , soon the long challenge wont be attempted by good coders and these herd mentality cheaters will be shining in the leaderboard.
This is the reason I have stopped using CodeChef any longer. It’s actually very difficult for a newbie like me to get good ratings in a contest when most of the cheating happens in div3 itself. It kinda demotivates you that your hard work is useless and people who can cheat can only win. Please do something about it.
