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.
