call me crazy but my theory goes like you can hack this website if you pass a Java/Ruby programming class literally anywhere in the world.. OR you can just befriend some banned user
the $100 isn't really an issue, because the exploit abuse suspending users from the round will only affect users who come 2nd place and after (assuming 2nd place and after, don't acquire more than 2000 points)
I don't really want to step down because it's not like any of this stuff is my fault. If I step down either someone else will have to deal with it or Phil will just be on his own, and I don't think anyone would like that
Though the whole "leaving a huge amount of comp reports & pending refunds open until 11:57 and then just pausing the round bc there's nothing else that can be done" thing is a failure on the part of the mod team.
OK BEFORE YOU GO LIKE WAH WAH I WAS WINNING AND STUFF LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ROUND WINNING A TROPHY WILL SCREW YOU OVER SINCE YOU CANT COMPETE FOR CASH PRIZES SO WHEN YOU DARE UTTER WAH WAH MUH TROPHY IT DOESNT MATTER 338 TROPHY DOESNT MATTER
