Unfair Codechef Ratings

I will inform if I get an update.

I will have to agree to the fact that making code private is mentioned on every contest page. It is kind of your fault if you never care to read the contest rules even. Although, People MUST be given a chance ti explain themselves.

if there’s an issue, they’ll fix it.

I took place 44 in June Challenge 2018 Division 2 but only increased “by 186” from 1341 to 1527

@gur_chella ya took place 71 and increased dramatically “by 200” from 1409 to 1609

I ain’t think that unfair =))

They are given a chance to explain after the mail is sent.

I think that codechef has a fair rating system. Codechef rating is always calculated on the basis of your current performance and previous performance. If you are good coder and suppose somehow due to plagiarism your rating drops then if you continue to perform as you perform earlier your rating will increase much faster till your previous performance rating. After that you if do perform more better than your rating will increase much.
Means it also test that if in every contest you have 500 points and you again score 500 points then your rating will not increase much, because the level in which you are is according to your level. So, for increasing your rating always try to perform better than your previous performance.

I have notified the issue and was assured that some action would be taken.

But still, my rating increase is bottle-necked to 130.

it’s around 45-50 days since the rating decrease and still no solution. I doubt if @admin is considering this issue or not.

Yeah, I understand that ! This is the biggest problem though, that Codechef should mention which plagiarism cases are due to multiple accounts ! Because it looks bad ! To a probable recruiter having multiple accounts is not an issue but Plagiarism may be !
