Hello Codeforces Administration,
I am writing on behalf of my friend, Sachin, regarding his Codeforces account sachin-123, which has recently been disabled.
A few days ago, Sachin restored/reset his laptop. The following day, when he tried to log in to Codeforces, he received the message “The user is disabled.” Before this happened, he was using his account normally for problem practice.
He has already contacted the Codeforces Administration by email and also sent a direct message, but unfortunately has not received a response yet. He is quite concerned because he is currently unable to access his account and continue practicing on Codeforces.
I understand that account restrictions are handled by the Codeforces Administration and that there may be reasons for which an account can be disabled. I am not asking for any special treatment; I would simply like to request that his case be reviewed and that he be informed of the reason for the restriction, if possible.
If the account was disabled unintentionally or if there is any issue that Sachin needs to clarify or resolve, I would be grateful if the Administration could give him an opportunity to address it.
I would sincerely appreciate it if you could look into his case or forward this request to the appropriate administrator.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

tell your friend not to cheat in the future
He is not my friend and other thing is that I don't know whether he cheated or not.He just requested me to help me so I simply helped me.
I understand your point, and I agree that using AI to cheat during contests is not right. But in my case, I did not use AI to get solutions or algorithms. I only used it sometimes to understand the problem statement or difficult English because I am not always comfortable with the language.
I genuinely thought that this was allowed under the Codeforces rules regarding translation/understanding the statement. I never intended to gain any unfair advantage.
In the future, whenever I participate in a contest, I will not use AI at all. In fact, I will treat every contest exactly like a real exam. I will close all unnecessary tabs and applications beforehand and keep only Codeforces open, so there is absolutely no possibility of any misunderstanding or issue.
I have learned from this experience, and I will make sure to follow the rules strictly in every future contest.
