Addressing the AI Allegations Against AhmetKaan (Sorry for the 3rd Blog)

Revision en3, by erkam, 2026-03-12 23:40:24

Hello Codeforces!

As you may have noticed, there are popular blogs about Ahmet Kaan and his ban from Codeforces after recent contests (top 2 blogs at the moment). One of them is a sentimental appeal, and one is an admin response to that appeal, however, any well prepared defense for him weren't given against this issue while admins decided about this issue, so we think that we should give the actual defense, prepared with effort and his own inputs. I initially thought of speaking with admins only, but since this blog received a lot of attention, I think we need to give chance to audience who are convinced that he is a cheater to also speak.

Before starting, I want to clarify that this blog is solely for arguments. We appreciate the Turkish community's effort for this, but that doesn't help in this case. If you want to show your support, please don't comment anything like "I support him", only upvoting the blog will be fine — and you also don't have to do that. Only comment if you think you have counter-arguments against this defense. And also, please don't try to answer any counter-argument on your own. I will act as his lawyer and will give answers to each of the counter-arguments we get after discussing with him, to avoid tangled discussions.

Actually, when I said there wasn't any solid defense when the admins announced their final decision, I meant it practically. Because I already posted a comment with full defense to arguments given until that point in my comment, but I am pretty sure it went unnoticed. Because comment of that scale should have at least been addressed when having a decision blog if it was seen, I trust admins to not directly ignore a defense prepared with effort. I don't blame admins for the miss at all, since I basically threw a
