Cheating

This user has had too many ac submissions to different problems, each only a few minutes apart.

I am writing all things in bold
well if people are cheating let them cheat writing code is very easy but explaining the algorithm how does it work is most awesome and challenging task so let them cheat spoj is made for those who want to become better in real sense if you are cheating your heart knows that thinking and coding is very addictive and frustrating thing still you code because you love it i have seen people who have got so much frustrated in later part of some point of life it seems like they are standing at dead end nowhere to go and reason is self is responsible you can fool yourself but you can foool the universe and universe has its own algorithm to handle exceptions so in the end nothing is required to kick out such users here we are for learning not for fight

Please look into the case of user "gabssw". It looks like a new id and she seems to have solved 79 problems in 87 submissions. But that's not the point. She did it in between June 9th - 13th. She's from Brazil and is now at rank 1967.

It's my first post in this "new" forum system, do I hope that I will correctly replay to say2sankalp post.
say2sankalp: There was a lot of post about this topic at the beginning of this thread. Generally all agreed that cheating is bad - I also agree with that and I think that cheaters should be banned. If you want some arguments, please read few first comments at the beginning this thread.
I appreciate what admins do to ban these accounts. I guess that it is not easy task, and I know that a lot of cheaters will not be detected. Anyway admins do something about it - I want to say "thank you" for their work, and to all people who posted cheaters.

He is so professional.
He accomplished solving over 100 problems (maybe) in a day!

He should be checked..!!

I got question:

Solving tasks and saving source code should be punished and user should be marked as 'cheater' if code is used on other (but mine) account?

It sounds ridiculously.

Here’s another anshul1927

Check this one pls: Chubz. 11 ACs in last 10 mins.

Hi there! I’m Chubz as you can tell, but I would like to clarify some things. I have written the solutions for most of these problems over the course of the school year, because as a high school student, SPOJ is blocked for some odd reason. So because of this, I write the solutions at school. Since I’m now on break, I can start submitting them.

Ironically I’ve been trying to submit them on different days to avoid getting flagged or banned! But I would like to make my case clear.

I don’t think Rully Soelaiman (arena) cheating.
you might think badly about this account. This person is working as a lecturer in ITS. This person is
OSN counselor and learner to IMSO in computer olympic.

This is a bit off-topic but don’t know where else to go to get it noticed.

This user has been submitting the same solution for PIEK repeatedly during the entire night. Can’t be a judge on whether that was a bug or some monkey business, but it severely skewed the stats for the problem as well as his profile, not to mention sucking resources off the SPOJ servers. Please disqualify the duplicate solutions as they seem to have went into thousands by now.

Edit: The user above submitted the code 1500+ times during 3 days. Now there’s another one, probably also botting as I can see 6-7 submissions being processed simultaneously, clogging the server. This needs to be sorted out.

[nadstratosfer]

Indonesian high schoolers probably copying a solution from one another. This has been going for a long while and seriously disturbed the score in some of the less popular problems, here they’re quite blatant:

More are submitting as I’m typing this.

Chances are they get problems assigned as part of their course but even if in principle they solve individually, what we’re getting in the end is a swarm of groupthink solutions distorting the scoring. I also remember some ACing using both school and private accounts, something I can’t find example of after the DPA rendered the site unsearchable.

[devilwolverine]

Please look into this guy. He is doing 340+ submissions a day and the accuracy is more than 70 percent

[nadstratosfer]

Kacper Bąk wants to get a good job in IT so he shows us how to mirror Zobayer’s repository, several problems a minute. Can’t WA with this clever approach, obviously, in fact he’s the quintessential “AC in 1 go” coder, unless he presses the wrong language button when submitting. Any start-ups watching, you better run and hire this guy right now, he’ll provide a solution to any problem as long as someone else had already coded it!

Here’s another with a phenomenal submission and AC rate raju_19.
