Is that common?
By Schi2oid, history, 10 months ago, In English

the hacked submission

wimg6__ hacked his/her alt account wimg6_.I rarely use the hacks, so I don't know whether this is common or not, but actually if he/she change the handle of the alt account, nobody will discover it. So maybe it happens a lot.

    Well, sorry, I've just learned that in Educational Round there is no effect of successful or unsuccessful hacking on hacker point/penalty/rating.

    I don't know, I just see others do that, so I do that, too, but I think it will get rewarded.

    It isn't rare. Sometimes people submit a code with an obvious prompt to let others hack themselves, such as adding sentences like "if(t==x) printf("Hack me please!\n");". Some of them add these kind of sentences, maybe the user who submit this code to let others get a high rating, or submit these kind of sentences in the competition to get a low rating and can enjoy div.3 or div.4. And some of users hack his/her alt account and let his/her another account get a high rating, and the alt account won't get low rate.

    I never do that before I saw a big amount of people doing it in a Div.4 round. Then I do it to make up the rating I lose in this competition. I know this isn't a good idea, but in some ways, no one prohibit you to do that.

      no one prohibits you to do that

      Actually, it is prohibited. Don't create more than one account.

      Also, when you register for the contest, the Terms of agreement says: will not use multiple accounts and will take part in the contest using your personal and the single account.

        I'm sorry that I didn't remember that rule.\/_\/ But in some ways, the alt account didn't take part in the competition. OK, anyway, please forgive me， I won't do that again.

I was going to post about this yesterday.

Actually, I always check the successful hacks since some months and this happens alot.

A very typical thing that many people do is that they write a particular value for which his code wont work properly, and of course, the probability of that particular value being one of the testcases is nearly 0, so, their code gets accepted, and then , they can hack it with their other account.
