Dear Codeforces Administration,

My account UnreallyImpressiveCoder was recently disabled following Codeforces Round 1122 (Div. 3). I would respectfully like to request a manual review of my account and the submissions from that contest.

During the contest, I solved 7 of the 8 problems. While writing my submissions, I reused portions of a personal code template that I had written previously, primarily common boilerplate, and adapted it for the individual problems.

For clarity, the relevant code was my own. I did not copy solutions from other contestants, use another contestant's submission as a source, or use AI to generate or obtain solution code.

I understand that similarities between submissions can sometimes raise concerns during contest review. If similarities in my submissions triggered an administrative action, I would appreciate it if the submissions could be examined in their full context, including their development and the corresponding contest activity.

After the contest, my submissions appeared as Skipped, and my account subsequently became disabled. I would therefore also appreciate clarification regarding the reason for the disablement and whether there is any specific rule or submission that I need to address.

I fully respect Codeforces' efforts to preserve competitive integrity. If I misunderstood any rule concerning code templates or code reuse during contests, I am willing to understand the issue and comply with the rules going forward.

Thank you for taking the time to review my case.

Dear Codeforces Administration,

My account UnreallyImpressiveCoder has recently been disabled and currently displays:

“User is disabled by administrators.”

I respectfully request a manual review of my account and my activity during Codeforces Round 1122 (Div. 3).

I had prepared specifically for this contest and independently solved 7 of the 8 problems in approximately two hours.

During the contest, after solving the first problem, I reused my own previously written code/template as a starting point for subsequent problems to avoid rewriting common boilerplate. I then modified the code according to the requirements of each problem.

To clarify:

I did not copy code from another contestant. I did not use another contestant's solution. I did not use AI to generate solutions or obtain solution code. The code/template I reused was my own. I had no intention of violating Codeforces contest rules.

I understand that reusing code between problems can potentially result in similarities between submissions. If this contributed to the administrative action, I would sincerely appreciate it if the relevant submissions could be reviewed in their full context.

My submissions from the contest subsequently appeared as Skipped, followed by my account being disabled. I would therefore be grateful for clarification regarding the reason for the disablement and a manual review of my contest activity and relevant submission history.

I fully respect Codeforces' efforts to maintain competitive integrity. If I misunderstood any rule regarding code reuse or templates between problems, I am willing to understand the issue and make sure I follow the rules correctly in future contests.

Thank you for taking the time to review my case.@MikeMirzayanov, I would greatly appreciate a manual review of my account and the relevant submissions.
