I honestly don't know where else to turn, so I'm writing this as a genuine cry for help to the Codeforces admin team.

On September 26, 2026, I participated in Codeforces Round 1124 (Div. 1). I participated normally and solved my problems independently.

Then, on October 2, several days after the contest, I received a system message stating that my submissions in the contest had been skipped because of a rules violation.

This came as an enormous shock to me.

By that point, the contest itself was already over, along with system testing, hacking, and the other post-contest processes. And the message I received did not tell me which submission or problem was responsible, or what exactly I had supposedly done wrong.

I genuinely did not violate the rules.

I wrote my solutions myself.

I did not copy anyone's code. I did not receive anyone else's code. I did not share my code with anyone. I did not collaborate with anyone during the contest.

I am therefore making this post as a sincere appeal to the Codeforces admin team:

Please manually look into this decision and reverse it.

I know that anyone can simply say “I didn't cheat.” I understand that my word alone cannot be the basis for a decision.

That's exactly why I am asking for the actual submissions to be looked at.

I have participated in IOI, and I have also finished top 100 at the ICPC India Nationals. Competitive programming isn't something I casually participate in. It is something I have spent years working on, and independently solving difficult problems under contest conditions is something that genuinely means a lot to me.

I am extremely proud of the work I put into my contest solutions.

For this contest in particular, I independently solved the problems I submitted. My solutions also follow the same programming habits and implementation style that I have developed over many years of competitive programming. There was nothing unusual about suddenly receiving outside help or using someone else's work.

And this is why seeing my submissions suddenly skipped for a rules violation days after the contest has been genuinely heartbreaking.

I am not angry at the admins. I understand why Codeforces has to take rules violations seriously. I understand that systems exist to protect the integrity of contests, and I fully support that goal.

But I genuinely believe that something has gone wrong in my particular case.

I am not asking for special treatment.

I am asking for the decision to be reconsidered and reversed because I genuinely participated in this contest honestly.

If something in my submissions triggered a detection system, please have someone examine the actual code and the circumstances manually. If there is some specific similarity or other issue, I am more than willing to explain my approach and how I arrived at my solutions.

I am willing to cooperate completely.

I just don't want an honest contest participation to remain marked as a rules violation when I know that I solved my submissions myself.

I care enormously about my Codeforces account and my contest history. I've worked incredibly hard for everything I've achieved in competitive programming, and having an honest contest treated this way is genuinely devastating to me.

So, please, Codeforces admins:

Please look into this.

Please manually review what happened.

Please reverse this decision if, as I believe, there was no violation.

I genuinely don't know what else I can do except ask for help here.

Please help me.
