Once upon a time I joked with lucid about shutting the site down temporarily to watch people lose their stuff. It was funny for about 20 hours, then he turned it back on.
Anyone who thinks this is a good idea is morally doubious. I see the fun of change in it, but not the reality that this would be fun for the majority of the people on the site. It would be fun for two days even with the cheaters. It gets old and boring fast.
Yeah no. The minute you let this slide once you confirm what many of us are thinking. That the mod team has cheaters in it. If the mods allowed this to happen it would destroy all site credibility. Where does it stop? Does that mean people can hack the site too? Lastly, if you win the cheater trophy, what does that say about you? What if I ran and won without cheating? I wouldn't want that brand. Not worth it.
