Cheating

I know your site and if I remember right, there were not only the solutions, but a short hint (one or few words) on the basic idea to solve the problem. As I am really unexperienced in algorithms (I never had any lessons, didn't study that kind of thing, never participated in any contest), that simple hint (e.g. not more than "DP") helped me on the one or other problem to look into the right direction.

Perhaps that could be a way of connecting SPOJ and personal website: No solutions, only hints.

I know the link, but i like it since it has classification of problems which is a good thing, but not source code.

Maybe you can do this, keep the page (without source code) if anybody needs source code, he can email you.
I think that's good. I dont see any point for posting code especially when we have really helpful people in the forums.

Thanks.

I disconnected the sources from the index page, but kept the list with the hints.

Er, this is the reason why I don't public my solutions to SPOJ problems till now...

The author disconnected the solution ... So No more cheating possible from that source ... but what about the cheater ?

spoj.pl/users/macedonian_boy/7

Current world rank: #26 (191.3 points) !!

He is still in the global ranking system !?

Do you mean the sources are still accessible? Can you PM me how?

Yes, that's what I wanted to say, but I was wrong!
The links to the sources are still active, but download is no longer possible.
I think that is a good decision. Thanks!

A user "cheater_bot" is submitting standard programs of some problems now.

Visiting "Cheating High School"4 - how funny

Yeah that guy is accepting that he is a cheater.

btw Is it that we can only find cheaters no option to stop or refrain them ?

Yes,unfortunately I am cheater,but I don't do anything bad.

Is it forbidden to collect AC solutions ?

That is a contradiction in itself: Cheating IS bad.

You are not only collecting them - you submit them, and that is bad.
If you don't realize that this kind of behaviour is against the idea of SPOJ - can't help.

Let me quote from amaroq's website (hope, he doesn't mind - otherwise I will remove it):

we are working on anty-cheating system on SPOJ...

first of all, we allow users "collecting AC solutions" to check the flag = user not included in ranking...

generally, dura lex sed lex... so, do not cheat!

You stupid bastard don\\'t teach me what cheating is. ok ?

You are not admin, so it is not your **** business.

It\\'s up to you what you will do against cheaters, but if someone wants to cheat, you may not be able to prevent it.

btw, I submit those AC solutions to ensure that they are really correct solutions and will use it in future for good purposes

P.S. You better fix bugs in this forum

we will leave you the decision - you can send AC submissions as cheater_bot, but in my opinion you shouldn't be in the ranking system, if you don't check the appropriate flag honestly, it is possible you will be banned.

Just don't spoil the fun!

SPOJ is community-oriented platform, so the community can punish you as well...

If you are rude guy, this is not my problem, but if you fart in the community - you will be kicked out! ok?

Nice to see that adminstrators taking cheating seriously.

Between this user spoj.pl/users/kumaranurag/10 submitted 39 problems in 2 days (till now). A cheat or a Super Programmer ?

& that macedonian_boy is still in the ranking system ?! :

Submission #2459713(https://www.spoj.pl/files/src/2459713/11 Problem: EPALIN) by macedonian_boy is also clearly the same as amaroq's submission. Why is this guy still on the ranklist?
