I don't want to give names, but I can already see individual(s) with multiple IDs on the LB.\nJust want to say whoever using multiple accounts, you will almost definitely be disqualified in the end of the competition.
\n\nThis is a long & hard competition with people spending significant amounts of time/energy /money, just want to remind everyone to be vigilant when it comes to teaming up with people - ANY participant with multiple IDs in a team will bring the whole team down.

\n I have to say that I have made this mistake in 2017 when I was a newbee in kaggle. I didn't know that rule or I underestimated kaggle's anti-cheat system. I created multiple accounts and tried to submit as more as I can , same as my team mate. At the end of that competition, there was no doubt that kaggle detected us and canceled our score on the leaderboard, although we actually got a good rank on the LB (30th among 3000 teams, sorry, I don't remember the exact number).\nSo don't try to cheat on kaggle. Following the rule and respect others effort, doing the best you can do . I think you can win with a good score.
well said, indeed :)
\n\nIn fact, I don't want to judge individuals who use multiple IDs, everyone makes mistakes at some point in life. It is more of a case of don't bring down one's teammates who are innocent
