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!
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 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.
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?
three possibilites: 1) we provided (auto-)disqualification, hence the author can disq his own solution 2) we provide a check-box - "not included in ranking" (but the submissions will affect on other points) (is it good idea? any suggestions?) 3) we can ban the user
after we provide (2) - we will warn cheaters (in global news) and explain in details the rules,
after week or two - we start to ban all cheaters - pointed out by community... (esp. EB team)
macedonian_boy is outside official ranking, but still has points in his profile: spoj.pl/users/macedonian_boy/4 is it ok? [his points are affecting other ranks/points]
I hope he will disqualify all his suspicious submissions... after that they won't be in ranking nor profile...
