Codechef should also take action against those who have taken benefit from it. this can be found out from the comments. Such contests shouldn’t be rated since so many people have cheated. It’s not fair.

One way I think we can stop them is to publicly harass them across various platforms- Fb, stackoverflow, LinkedIn, etc. It’s not that tough to find their profiles…
sad to see that admin is just keeping a mum on it .
The only thing this thread is accomplishing is increasing the popularity of the website/youtube channel.
Legally, The only thing that the admin can do is to request them to take down the videos/posts and/or ban their codechef accounts. They cannot forcibly take down the mentioned website/youtube channel.

One way is to keep a plagiarism check with the source code available on the youtube channel and other sites.I wanted to upvote but cannot due to less karma.

I have a completely different take on this. This is for fun/learning. By no way someone can copy and paste and be a good programmer. This is not a hiring contest and even though this was the candidate would bomb in real interview. If a person is not able to solve, just see the solution from a learning point of view.

But you can do the same after contest isn’t it? And also codechef rating somewhat matters when companies come to college for recruiting students. And some people will work their ass off and figure out original solutions and others will just copy paste?? is it fair? contests are for seeing your limits and how much you need to work. Otherwise problems are provided for practice and even editorials are given if you are interested in learning learn after contests then. Why should codechef ratings bother you?

I just visited codesfiction and realized that the admin himself is unable to solve the problems… But others(who have solved the questions) are disclosing their solutions or helping them in some way… Yes the site and the channel should be taken down immediately as codechef ratings often provide advantage to people when companies come to hire them for job or for internship. And guys you also must restrict yourself from such practices. Because you might get a 6* rating like this but you wont learn anything. If you have solved the problem keep it to yourself. No need to publicly announce how to solve them.
finally you took note of it
