All Star Code thingy

[Voileexperiments]

Students from All Star Code (users with ASC4 at the end of their name) have been... shitposting (that's the only word I can think of that can accurately describe what's happening) "katas" that can't even be called katas during the last month, and it's still happening as of now:

Can we get a short-term solution by, like, raising the honor bar for creating katas to something like 500? At least people will need to spend more effort before being able to publish non-katas (which should also cut down the amount of new white/yellow katas, we have too many of them).

(Also, #1120 should be fixed)

Is All Star Code, some kind of bootcamp? There're already some series by their "teacher".

This Kata is intended as a small challenge for my students

All Star Code Challenge #3

Seems yes, and "Student Aide" seems to be materials for students in All Star Code. I think those 30+ ASC katas were from earlier ASCs, and it's probably at 4th year now since every student from ASC involved in katas listed above has ASC4 in their CW username.

Well, even if that whole All Star Code Challenge series are mostly duplicates, at least they're written properly as katas. These ones on the other hand are just abyssmal. They should be thrown out and retired immediately.

(Also, I've edited the OP because I just found 2 more of them.)

And here we go again, the same user published another "non-kata" without even reading the issues we left from the previous katas:

(I've also updated the OP to include this)

Please do something, it keeps happening from time to time and there are no ways to stop these users from completely ignorant of the surroundings and keeps churning out garbage.

I told @jhoffner about this and the "Unofficial FCC" series some hours ago.
Qualified has plans for educations so they should use that instead of opening to the entire Codewars users.

I'm going to be raising the honor limit to 300, as well as fixing the issue with #1120. These are both in preview.

I'm also working on adding a revoke ability for admins, so that we can more easily take away kata creation ability from those found to be abusive.

I'm leaving this open for now so that we can track other abusive users from All Star Code
