Dear Codechef Support Team,
This is another time I am writing this because no one replied earlier.
Recently, I got the notification that my account has been flagged for cheating in starters158 and my rank has been dropped.I don’t know why, but this was definitely not due to any cheating on my part. I had built the logic to solve the question on my own; someone else may arrive at the same logic for solving the problem definitely that is not my fault. You can review all three submitted codes in that contest; I do not know which question matches other people’s solutions.
@emperor100 @admin
please look into my matter, I am also not able to see myself in the contest ranklist
my codechef ID: vineet79 | CodeChef User Profile for vineet79 | CodeChef
Kindly go through my code again and make a better decision.
Thank you.
If you guys didn’t respond and take any step on this, my belief on codechef will over.
I can’t imagine how many others have faced the same problem so far.

First of all, thank you for responding.
Okay, so I think this is probably the first method that comes to any brain (including myself).
Could you please tell me if this flag is going to be permanent in my ID or something else, and what about my rating?
And is there anything so that I can explain my answer, like the way I approach this method, so that you guys will remove this flag because this will really impact my resume and my future in a bad way.
Dear Sir/ma’am
@admin @emperor100 @harshitacodes
Please look into this matters please
I have to leave this account if the problem continues.
Hey,
I have manually reviewed the code and found similarities between these codes, that’s why you are penalized.

That’s someone else’s code; that user is not me.
please Recheck

I am writing to address the recent false plagiarism accusation concerning my submission in the Starters 158 Division 3 contest for XOR smaller problem. I was notified that my solution was flagged for similarity with another user’s submission, specifically linked to the following solutions:
• Other’s solution: [CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone ]CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
• My solution: [CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone ]CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
I do not know the individual (punit_26) whose solution was flagged alongside mine, and there was no exchange of ideas or code between us.He recently got flagged in back-to-back contests, if I knew him, why would I share my own code or copy his code to risk my account?
The similarity in our approaches is purely coincidental and likely due to the nature of the problem, which may have led to similar logic and structure in our solutions. I also took care to use unique variable names and code format, further supporting my claim that the code was independently written.
This accusation is a major setback for my contest rating, and months of hard work and dedication to improving my skills on CodeChef are now at risk of being undermined.
I recently reached 1423 rating but a pently of 269 points for a mistake which i did not make is big setback to my profile and my motivation
So please, I request the codechef team to review my code and remove the false allegation on my account.

Please help me out @emperor100 @harshitacodes @sumit9311
I will not be able to give any contest with this accusation further, so please, codechef support team, please help me out.
Hey @nlogn_coder,
We manually reviewed your code, and the structure is a complete match. It looks like only the variable names were changed. Our plagiarism check considers more than just variable names, which is why the submission was flagged and you got penalized
