Yes. Happening with me as well.
I didn't like the problems at all. I also had issues with the servers, and seeing cheaters at the top of the standings demotivated me from continuing to solve the problems. It's strange that I can still see banned users in the standings.
P.S. The only seemingly legitimate person in the top 20 is Kude (7 stars). What's the point of the standings if they're filled with cheaters?
Yeah, same problem, also every time i wrote some code, it resetted and showed bad gateway or Website error! The round is Rated now, this isn't fair, the contest should now be unrated!!! I think that Codechef is no longer reliable for good contests and it frequently shows server errors
Is noya2 a joke for you? :)
But agree to your point — remaining 18 people are quite sus
he wasn't top 20 at that time. i'm sad and my day is ruined. i should have just skip the contest.
Don't let cheaters discourage you. You're doing it for you own pleasure/development, it doesn't really matter what the others do
I had a major issue in this contest. I could not see if my code for C got accepted or not, so i tried to upload multiple times, reload multiple times, nothing worked until half an hour passed, and i discovered the solve was accepted with multiple submissions(same happened for B also but was solved pretty quick). That whole half an hour was terrible for me as i could not focus on the next problem properly. Please, fix these issues next time. Thank you.
