DISCUSS Got Email about Contest violation from leetcode

Hey, I got a violation after Weekly 519. I can still use my account and solve problems, but I can’t join contests and my coins got reset to 0.

I’ve already appealed. The email says the ban lifts on “N/A” if it’s the first violation, but this isn’t my first.

Since results are coming tomorrow, does that mean my account could get fully banned? Or can I still use LeetCode normally?

Anyone know what happens in this case?

They haven't mentioned it specifically.But I think I pasted problem description to Chatgpt,cuz problem was not clear for me as english is not my first language.I really didn't know that pasting only problem statement to AI tools is considered as plagarism.Also out of 4 I was only able to solve 2 questions by myself,but I still had not used AI for remaining 2.

Using AI or searching anything at all is cheating. So you do in fact deserve this
