False Positive or Unexplained Detection?

Revision en1, by patelnamraa310806, 2026-10-12 08:54:55

Automated detection is important for protecting competitive programming integrity. But when an account is disabled, shouldn't there also be a clear path to understand what triggered it?

My account, np254, was disabled after Round 1121 (Contest 2264). I've explained the unusual A/B submission sequence and offered to clarify any concerns about my submissions, but I still have no explanation.

I'm not claiming to know that the detection system is bugged. I'm asking a simple question:

If a detection can be mistaken, how can a contestant request verification and understand the basis for the decision?

A reliable system needs not only detection, but also a way to review disputed results.

I'd appreciate guidance from the Codeforces administration on the appropriate review process.

Handle: np254
