Cheating

[cheater_bot_sof]

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):

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

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

[cheater_bot_sof]

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!

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

[mima_sof]

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/ submitted 39 problems in 2 days (till now). A cheat or a Super Programmer ?

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

[MAK_sof]

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

[mima_sof]

we prefer peaceful solutions, it takes some time...

[AnhDQ]

on problem: MOBIVINA
spoj.pl/files/src/2474683/
(i made the #2474686 WA)

[john_jones]

Will the user "cheater_bot" and "macedonian_boy" be banned?

[mima_sof]

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)

any suggestions are welcome

[mima_sof]

macedonian_boy is outside official ranking, but still has points in his profile:
spoj.pl/users/macedonian_boy/ 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...

Many people Accepted the problems with language TEXT,which of the problem [color=#FF0000]CANNOT[/color] been solved with TEXT at all.They must have been [color=#FF0000]CHEATING[/color]as download datas form the web!

Such as:1357355 2008-03-12 17:33:52 Labyrinth accepted 0.00 1.6M TEXT
and so on.

Admin can forbid us to use TEXT for those problems which can not been solved without cheating.

[cheater_bot_sof]

Oh pengyuhan, you are so cool, you found that :mrgreen:

What do you think, can't they solve the same problem without text ? in, say, Python? What will you do then ?

Maybe it would be better to stop looking to others and just solve problems ?

Haha,I am not always "looking to others",and I've just found it after I solve the same problem......
Maybe you're right.I am not admin,and that is not my duty to do so......
But your name is also so cool...

[pratikt]

I think this person is cheating
spoj.pl/users/kumaranurag/

He seems to have submitted the entire Kurukshetra set one after another, which is quite suspicious. Authors may confirm this, perhaps I am wrong.

Yes you are right kumaranurag is a cheat,

I Flagged him to the administrators previously but no body seems to be interested

User "varindermnnit" kept submitting solutions of algorithm engagements 2009 this morning.

[numerix]

This user https://www.spoj.pl/users/ahmed_aly_tc/ is obviously cheating:
Submitting AC solutions to several problems about every 3 seconds (!).

He posted solutions to more than 100 problems in less than 10 minutes

Edit: It took him 8 min from rank 0 to 123 ...

It looks like ahmed_aly_tc is a clone of ahmed_aly.
