At StackUp, we are dedicated to creating a fair and valuable learning environment for all our Stackies. We have a zero-tolerance policy for cheating and exploitation. Our Platform Integrity Policy details the expectations, guidelines, and consequences for maintaining the integrity of submissions, accounts, and user conduct on our platform.
User Conduct: Treat others with respect. Harassment, hate speech, or discrimination is not allowed. Be honest—no cheating, plagiarism, or dishonesty.
Cheating Includes:
- Having multiple accounts.
- Submitting multiple entries from different accounts but managed by the same person.
- Copying work from other stackies
- Copying from online sources (e.g., GitHub, StackOverflow, etc.)
- Sharing withdrawal information with other users.
- Your account is linked to a suspended account.
- Creating a new account after a platform suspension
Consequences: Users caught cheating or violating the rules may be suspended. Actions may include:
- Rejection of current and future submissions.
- Permanent account suspension.
- Permanent loss of access to the StackUp platform and its apps.
- Restricted withdrawals.
- Revoked rewards gained unfairly.
- Removal from our Discord community for harassment or abuse.
These actions depend on the nature of the misconduct and are based on a thorough review of each case.
Reporting Abuse: To report abuse or cheating, message our Community Moderators or use the General Enquiry form. Reports are confidential, and we protect your privacy.
Appeals: If you think you've been wrongly flagged for cheating, you can appeal through the StackUp Help Centre. We review appeals carefully, but please note that not all cases will receive a second review.
