SPOJ problem setters

[sahil1422]

I had a few questions, can someone please help me out?

1. Is there some team sitting who accepts or rejects the problems proposed by the problem setters.
2. Is there some process in which I can send the problem idea first and if the idea gets accepted, later I can prepare the story, input files and output files for the problem statement.
3. Does SPOJ display these problems in the main problem set?
4. I have a problem asked at CodeChef. Can I add the same problem here or only new problems are accepted?
5. Does SPOJ pay to their problem setters?

1. No. In theoy, if a problem is bad (duplicate, wrong solution, etc.) the moderating team would hide it, but even now there are some terrible problems that multiple high-ranked people want off the problemset, that have been sitting there for months.
2. Again no; although you should have someone proofread your problem and solution before you upload it to the main problemset
3. By default it will be hidden. The creator can then place it into classical, challenge, tutorial, etc.
4. You can re-use problems for SPOJ, as long as they don’t exist here already, and you have the rights to the problem
5. I haven’t seen any money, sadly
