Cheating

Well, I'm glad that those cheater has been banned by admin Good job!

http://www.spoj.com/users/sundar_mic/ aka chandler.
I think he will be soon banished.

Please let us know if other people like this one should be stopped.
1) Those people don't learn anything.
2) They stole points of every other solvers.

Please I want to Report this user :
spoj.com/users/saurabhshahpur/
who is the same user
spoj.com/users/bismith_sidd3/
I've asked him to disqualify one of his two accounts here
www.spoj.com/problems/ICKHELLO
and i've disqualified one of his two submittions , but he submitted the solutions more and more with both accounts .
What Should I do ?

Look at this amazing part of "Terms of Services" in Coursera website .... I think they should add one in spoj ...

I agree. Both user is also submitted same code to my problem CRCLE_E1. Here is the screenshot:

It's hard to clean all cheater. Because currently there are more than 200K users on SPOJ. I just consider the big cheater with high points (on main SPOJ site), rapidly solve many problem just in few minutes. If I found cheater with match that criteria, I'll definitely report here to be banned by admin.

This person is also suspicious: spoj.com/users/baladeva/7

He has made his username some whitespace characters, so it is unclickable from status page.

This is a suspicious rate of submissions

Respected Sir,

Please look into this account : [spoj.com/users/hariprasath/](http://www.spoj.com/users/hariprasath/)

The user has submitted too many solutions in a very short time frame as on 08.11.2013 & it seems suspicious.

Your Sincerely,
Ouditchya Sinha.

Hi Admin I am sure this user is not genuine he have submitted more than 150 problems in an hour.

[admin note: thank you - blocked]

Suspicious

spoj.com/users/voozism/1

Has solved over 500 in a month. In December 31th, 144 AC.

Another cheater : Decoder4

[admin note: thank you - blocked]

spoj.com/users/jvr1201nit/

This one is very curious.

http://www.spoj.com/users/good_alakazam/5

Curious because his solution for two of my problems are quite genuine, but submit a flow of easy probs sometimes each 20s !!!
So very curious.

Suspicious

I find very annoying cheaters that destroy PIBO problem (and many others), see here3 and here2 ; I guess all codes with 1.86±0.01s 3.0M C++ are clones...
Last user Legrand2 have yet often do the same. Note that he's not always a cheater.

===

had been yet banished1... still present, curious.
On my problem REBOUND, he viciously unindent a code found on the web. This user could be banished again.

===

Kaushik Barman (id recently changed to "power boy") had been yet banished last year. He's back with a new probable technic : copy/paste a code ; change some few chars ; oh, incredible, I have RE or SIGSEV or WA ; try again one two times, and then AC ; wait some minutes do the same with another problem. We are not fool.

Please report strange actions, and suggests propositions to ovoid such things.

I think user thales is cheating (http://www.spoj.com/users/thales/2). His behaviour is very suspicious.

Edit(Francky) : Exact ; http://spojtweet.appspot.com/user/thales1, I hope all those kind of account disappear one day.

A new one : http://www.spoj.com/status/makaveli/8 : Dariusz Lasecki

He 'does' that Sunday evening, haha.
Last week :

And the previous Sunday :

But what can we do about these users? Just reporting them is not fixing the problem. I think they should be immediately removed.

Another one (edit : maybe/maybe not...??????):
http://www.spoj.com/status/sanguine13/6 : S. R. Putra

(Only a part of the fact)
Edit : But according to two submissions on two of my problems, solutions seems genuine.
This is a very curious thing in any case ...
A (reasonable) possibility for that user is : he deleted his account, create a new one and submit it's own AC solution again. But I'm not sure...

@storyless : when admin take a look at this thread, they make some clean up.
I hope there will be one day an automatic tool to prevent such pollution.
