Account restricted for violation of terms of service?

[ValdemarusS]

Hello. Explain to me, please, why my account is blocked?

[Blind4Basics]

because you are a copycat. (technical note: it's not blocked, it's "restricted")

[ValdemarusS]

What is copycat? In what kata did the robot think I did this? And how to get rid of this status if it is not true?

P.S. Excuse my machine speech. I don't speak English well, so I use google translate 😔

[Blind4Basics]

copycat = plagiarist

getting rid of this restriction: you'll have to convince me. You'll have a hard time, considering the stats on your completions.

[ValdemarusS]

I see no point in dumb copy and paste. I solve only those kata that arouse my personal interest, and not everything. If you look at my history, you can see some progress (albeit small), from simple to more complex, which is logical, I think. I often comment on my decisions. Before codewars, I spent some time solving problems on ProjectEuler. I do not know how else can I convince you otherwise?

[Blind4Basics]

do you have a github account or a discord one? If you are on discord, poke at me on CW's group (-> "B4B")

[Blind4Basics]

You are a plagiarist, that's the reason.
Hunting for solution on the web is not considered as a honorable way to earn... honor.

[musadiqmustafa]

I m not i was just use vs code to check the codes which i used to made from chunks

[musadiqmustafa]

Can u rechecked please

[Blind4Basics]

I already double checked. Being a plagiarist has nothing to do with using an IDE or not.

[VENDETTA2212]

My account is also restricted, what should I do? can you fix that?

[Blind4Basics]

Stiuation clarified. Restriction suppressed.

[ValdemarusS]

Thank you for understanding. It's important for me 😊

[Leydy]

I've been copying some other people's code but just to check my logic, I didn't know I was going to get banned, I need to get my honor back please :(

[Leydy]

Hi, my account is herzeleid 5kyu

[Blind4Basics]

oh. No, you definitely won't get those points back.

[Leydy]

Now that you have reset my account, can I see my progress with my clan?

[Blind4Basics]

what do you mean?

[Leydy]

anyway, thanks!

[hardikx26]

Hello my account is also restricted, please help @hardik26

Hey, can you unban my account https://www.codewars.com/users/HowToType%3F, I got restricted right after solving a 2kyu kata, like seconds after solving it, Idk if my code matched with someone else or something but I definitely didn't copy and paste it,

[Blind4Basics]

I didn't see this message earlier, sorry.

I definitely didn't copy and paste it,

yeah, you translated it into another language instead. But that's still being a copycat. Also, your other stats point you as a copycat on too many kata.

Advise: delete the account and start fresh. Fairly, this time.

[Peter-developer01]

Can I also delete the account and start fresh? Without copypasting, of course.

[Blind4Basics]

Sure. And don't use alter accounts (your other account also got locked. I suggest you delete both)

[Peter-developer01]

Yeah, already deleted other account. Thanks.

[Arenesz]

Hello,

you can unfollow/untrack the thread, afaik, but only you can do that. You should have an unsubscription link in the mail.

Hi, the same has happened with my account - Shrikhar0973.
I believe the account got restricted right after I submitted a 2 kyu kata which was unfortunately not my own code. However, my situation demanded such an extreme step. I am a college student and my homework assignments are done on Codewars with the honour points having a direct bearing on my grade. On my behalf it is very wrong that I cheated, but it was my last option for a 100 point boost I required. All other katas have been meticulously done by me and most of them are 8-5 kyu katas.
I request you to remove the restriction on my account and if possible replenish my points excluding the 2 kyu's points as well as a penalty from your side.
I sincerely hope you understand my situation and offer your kind help.
Thank you

[Kacarott]

I think you are very lucky. I strongly suggest against using ChatGPT in the future if you want to keep your points.

[shrikharg]

Did it last time and paid the price for it sir. Not on the new account though.

[shrikharg]

@Blind4Basics too late almost, our course ends in a couple days ;(

[Blind4Basics]

Never too late, if that can lead them to not do the same mistake in the next years.

chatGPT: be aware that asking it to rewrite a solution is just the same...

[shrikharg]

okay, I will try. ChatGPT - yes I am aware, learnt it the hard way. That's why I am doing rather easy 8-5 kyu ones for which reference is not needed. Thanks again.

[Blind4Basics]

You were using alter accounts to unlock solutions.

[Kacarott]

You want the points which you got by cheating, to be given back to you? If you need points to start an exam, then I suggest you start solving kata properly without cheating to actually earn the points, instead of trying to cheat your way into the exam.
