Hi, everyone.
My main account was disabled by administration for cheating. Is there any chance that it will be enabled again ? I remember when YuukaKazami was disabled for cheating it took 6 months, is it common practice for first time disqualification ?
Probably that is not in the community competence to enable your account so no much use in asking. :)
Perhaps you may try to contact administration, but you surely need to find more proper words rather than blunt "I want my account be enabled again"...
If I remember correctly that was an extraordinary case. Because the user was well-known, because he repented etc. I believe there are much more cheaters with accounts disabled permanently and I do not think administration is going to spend efforts on disabling and reenabling them. The fear of permanent ban is supposed to force people consider more deeply whether it is worth cheating.
If someone made a crime and is under sentence of going to jail, will they in court say "Oh, this guy is famous let's make him a favor !" ? Your reasoning is not quite correct. And yes I agree with you about confession of realizing my fault.
That is not my reasoning. Management of accounts is done by CF administration so I'm just trying to relate what I remember about this case. You probably can find blog posts with more details.
UPD: There is not too many details, but here is this post and the comment from MM: http://codeforces.net/blog/entry/11236?#comment-162780
You see, MM shortly states that the case is extraordinary because it is about high-rated user. Probably you can write to MM personally.
UPD2: I see that user was also the author of some CF rounds if this can help you.
