This user is a definitely cheat He is submitting solution from Internet Shikhar Shrivastav
@m1kej9

There are people from Marri Lakshmi Reddy college who are making over 60-70 submissions a day and seem to be cheating from each other. Here are the usernames : @varshitha_06, @swetha37, @shivani_2001, @akanksha_varma, @sowmya_1_2. Please look into them and ban them if malpractice is found.

We have a genius who has risen through the ranks to the No. 2 spot inside a month. In five pages of submission history, there’s not a single wrong answer. Either he hides them, or doesn’t make any. Mighty suspicious, I’d say.

edit: I withdraw my ridiculous allegation!

Not necessary. Please for example look to this: https://www.spoj.com/status/DRAGON,arena/11
And his submissions are not minutes after minutes but rather day after day or year after year

I agree not necessarily. Perhaps he/she had recently unticked the option to Remove me from the user ranking.

For one problem I realised many people have been using my library to submit solutions to the problem. Now if I submit for the same problem will I be called a cheater because I have submitted after them ?

There should be some clear guidelines to what is cheating and what is not.
Say If you read a paper and implement it yourself it won’t be termed cheating as per my understanding but if you find a library corresponding to the paper and use it directly will it be called cheating ? There may be many other people using the same library, so is the first person safe from cheating allegations but the following persons are not ?

Hi mods, I’ve noticed some heavy cheaters
crowdforces1
rayaseiren
hard2kill

crowdforces18 is now on rank #4 worldwide, solving 350+ problems in a week.
Please ban them.

I’ve noticed CrowdForces1 before. I suspect it’s either a collaborative effort, or more likely an external judge outsourcing the validation to SPOJ.

At least this account (crowdforces1) should be set to hidden.

If this account is not willing to make it hidden, can the admin here do something about this?

I wonder how complicated it is to ban an account or disqualify all of its submissions.

Thanks to the admin, crowdforces1 is gone now.

But not long after that, I’ve found this newly created account with relatively same name cforces4 submitting solution one after another in seconds.
