#2Would have been nice to hear about the bit where they actually got banned from Codewars.
(Rather than the bit where they found a way of cheating at Codewars. Also, does that still work, or have the Codewars people now patched the bug?)

I agree, it seems poor sportsmanship on the part of Codewars. I mean they could have a special leaderboard for those who "hack" the game in one way or another. It seems in the best interest of the software itself, but also of the community, to foster this kind of creativity.

#51 they should give his account back, 2 did they fix it. and 3 they should have different categories of points: unverified, checked and stolen.
then if you have the most "stolen" or hacked points you can boast your haxxor skillz.

they could just use a different interpreter, i.e disable some monkeypatching.

#10I'm surprised that the test for pass/fail is within the interpreter, rather than a string match against the stdout of a sandboxed interpreter.
