We've heard some of your concerns and reservations about the state of our trophy system and we'd really like to have a place where we can openly discuss this.
Please comment your thoughts, concerns and ideas on how to improve this situation.
Have you guys figured out how the exploit works yet? If yes then it should be easy to make countermeasures. If no then you should figure that out before investing coins into creating another lobby only to potentially come up with the same issue.
Otherwise it's a fine idea with the only minor annoyance being the trophies will say they're from somewhere slightly different than "Survivor Lobby" since you can't have duplicate lobby names.

something to add onto this, maybe pick a random day to unpause it and keep it secret so someone isn't just waiting for a mod to unpause it to run their exploit

i agree with this as well, especially if they cheat in a trophy game (including embb/emvivor), people might be less inclined to cheat if they know they can't participate in trophy games for a while, and also if they cheated once (especially in a trophy game) they're more likely to do it again, so preventing them from participating for a while could help cut down on that risk

i feel like if K managed to exploit abuse in survivor someone could figure out a way to f*ck w/ a locked lobby
i think that comp setups should be removed as soon as the farming is done (i'm not sure exactly how they did the exploit but this might help), and the round should stay paused until just before midnight with a mod on hand to watch (that's inconvenient but if a mod won't be around they can pause it until there's one able to watch)
i'm pretty sure lobby mods can suspend from the round by going to their profile and selecting the 'suspend from round X' checkbox but i might be wrong
fixing these trophies is #1 on our list of things we need to trophy farm for. i'm doing the trophy farming so trust me, it'll get fixed!!

My only opinion on trophy farming matters is that you need to farm another round of trophies, with EMBB getting gold, Ginga silver, and UltraAug bronze. The only issue with this is Ginga having two trophies when he only deserves one, but at the current situation he has a bronze when he deserves a silver, and so who cares if he has an undeserved bronze trophy on top of his deserved silver trophy, it's still a better scenario than what he currently has right now.
this is far more viable than the current condition. however, and i know i mentioned this around the time of the K incident to some of the mods, a temp solution for keeping them in survivor lobby is just having mods on-hand to monitor the farming as it happens and being extra vigilant at end of day when the 2k threshold is passed. i think the new lobby would likely be simpler though
great idea, as you said you can add those who trophy/need trophies (since it's still behind) of course, you need a couple players who you can trust to help them pointfarm (maybe the mods, if not trusted friends!) and remove them once the round ends!

i said this a few months ago i think but i think in the future there should be a trophy ban that goes longer than the normal ban like in competitive in main lobby for getting a cheating violation
what if we made a separate lobby, like "Survivor Trophy Lobby" or something of the sort where it's strictly trophy farming for Survivor trophy games. it'd be a locked lobby so not everyone could join (COUGH exploit abusers COUGH) and it'd be a LOT easier to manage as far as the competition and who to remove/add.
