What to do when you have been claimed as a cheater?
By sepehrking, history, 3 years ago, In English

Hi!

CF has called me a cheater which I posted two comments here and here!

And I seriously do not know what to do because nothing has happened till now (my rating hasen't returned yet)!

I am sure there are many people like me because the first question of Codeforces Round #728 (Div. 2) had a solution which could have been written generally the same!

It would be a pleasure to tell me how to return my rating (which I was going to be an expert for the first time) from your experiences!

And I would thank MikeMirzayanov and PurpleCrayon to turn back me and people's rating who have the same problem!

Thanks!

Hi !

I saw your solution and they have been written generally the same but i saw a lot other people that their code is generally like yours and i think it's a misunderstanding !

    Wow, amazing. People generally want to bring back good things and not bad things?! What?! Damn, you really opened my eyes.

    And I don't think you would have written this if you had experienced such a situation.

    I don't think you would be writing this if you hade -ve delta.

    This isn't necessarily true. Lost rating isn't a big deal if it was primarily caused by bad luck rather than bad skills. Rating can be recovered by just participating in more contests. But being labelled as someone with skipped solutions isn't nice, because cheater hunters may start pestering you in comments. Also if accidental code similarity happens again, then the codeforces platform will eventually start applying more severe penalties. You really don't want to have skipped solutions on your record.

You solved A,B,C and he solved only A (In contest). For that reason I doubt that you'd have to copy problem A from him. Hope you get this sorted. Things like this happen it's unavoidable.

This has happened to me in the last global round. Apparently, my solution of Problem A matched with someone. But this is rare, and usually happens in short problems like A, B. PS — I didn't get my rating back...sed
