I am going to ignore all ban appeals in DM
By Um_nik, history, 7 hours ago, In English

No exceptions. If your DM starts with "I was banned", I'm not reading further.

I am not connected to banning decisions, I don't know who is responsible for them, and I don't care. The only thing I can possibly do is send them further to KAN. The couple of times I did that, he was not happy. It seems that not having appeals system or providing any explanation is a conscious decision. I might not agree with it, but I'm not going to do anything about it, and I don't care. I don't have the mental energy to deal with it.

If you are going to send more than one DM on the matter, I'm blacklisting you.

Feel free to post your appeals in the comments to this blog, I'm not reading them either. Nor, probably, will anyone with the power to do something about the ban. They clearly don't want to.

    There have been lots of user ban appeals under blog posts and in his DMs (sometimes the appeal is a blog itself). It's quite annoying.

I get your point, though it goes without saying code collision can very much happen and cf detector definetly false flags a lot of people...

most of the appeal dms I get are from blatant cheaters, don't know why they just expect me to unban them without taking a second look

Hi Um_nik. Can you ask KAN to unban me? I used common C++ constructs like if (!(cin >> t)) and descriptive variable names like gdCode to stay organized. I fully support Codeforces’ efforts to keep its contests fair but I’d appreciate a reinvestigation into my account. I have congruent to 998244353 friends who can vouch for me. Thanks.
