Cheating

On one of my problems, 'REBOUND' : The return of the cake
snehasish_roy (alias : Better late than never !!!)
submitted some submissions, and 2min later,
i_am_back1 (alias : Guess_who_is_back)
had submitted the same.

It's motto is : It looks really nice to see no WA's in ur status

Edit : This problem1 is proposed, but the setter didn't solve FACT0 nor other good factoring problem ! I find this more than curious, and non sense in fact.

I have a new copy/paste for REBOUND, from http://www.spoj.pl/users/aradhya71/2 ; it's python submission is a pure copy of http://www.spoj.pl/users/jhanvi/3 one.

i hv 3 id's on spoj- snehasish_roy and " " and " "

My original id was a way too messy so i made a new id " "
in order to combine all the questions i again made a new id " "

Cant i run multiple id's on SPOJ??
There is no rule which says I can't do so !!
Is it equivalent to serious crime called cheating..???

Also, do problem setters must solve problems of the same type which they are posting before they post their question??
I don't think there is any rule of that kind ??

I do have two account,I don't think so it is wrong you can make any number of account.This a coding site and everyone wants to make its profile better with less number of wa's and anyone should have any problems if any one makes more than one account.Anyone can also use his second account to debugg and help the coders who paste their problems here(on forum).So,I don't think there will be any problems if any one carries more than one account.

You should have one account only. If you have multiple accounts you steal the points from other people. The second account doesnt make your profile any better, in fact it scores less points than your first account with all the WA.

Ideally, as you get better you would get less WA and TLE because you would be thinking more before submitting code.

My account has many RTE, TLE, and WA. It doesn't affect me. I submit many quick solutions from my iPhone while solving solutions from forum posts, which attributes to many wrong results but my solutions when I plan are much better.

Cheers,
Leppy

It's not up to me to enforce any sort of rules on the main site. I only moderate the forum. My role is to keep the forum civil. I think your resolution sounds reasonable. Remember to disqualify your solutions on the fake account. You can also remove it from the user ranking.

That is a great Idea .Thanks leppy sir.

The genius9 of the day !!!
Edit (11/07) : It continues today ; 50 problems solved in few hours, 90% of them are a first AC few seconds after solved the precedent !!!


Edit (12/07) : and today again !!!
Edit (13/07) : and today again !!!
Edit (18/07) : and the 14 again, and today again !!!

Another One2, incredible.

The genius4 of the day.

Another genius6.

This user15 should be disqualified from SPOJ!
I can't believe that he/she can solve 339 Problems5 in a day! He/She steal my points and some other user in SPOJ indirectly..
@admin: please take action.... I'm irritated to that user...

Another one.1
What can be done against that ?????????

I have an idea :
We can submit for the same problem immediately after a submission,
but for another problem, we should be waiting for 10 min, it seems a reasonable delay.
Easy problem can be done under 10 min, okay, but we just have to wait a little, it would be very rare.
I'm even ok for 30min of delay, it's not a problem for me.

This can discourage cheaters to copy/paste solutions that can be found on the web,
those guys don't hesitate to submit every 20s an new problem submission.

Moreover, I think, all those accounts should be deleted, they are cheaters !

@admin: this is seriously annoying that such users are not banned from SPOJ! This is no less than cheating! Please take some action..!

On September, the 3rd, Legrand3 submit lot of web accessible solutions.
He's a cheater too.

Nothing is done, why ?

Another cheater4 : more than 173 problems in a day

A new feature ???
We have perhaps a new cheater, and not ranked.
