Our glorious leader (and giver of bot) Archi found an exploit in the points system. In order to ensure that support sees the issue as quickly as possible, please bump the thread so that support users can see the ticket about this issue! No details about the exploit will be posted here, but it's in the ticket that only support members can see (even I haven't seen it).

Proof
Support ticket
Bribe so you bump the thread
Archi's comment

Please note: I am just the messenger; please don't shoot me. I have never used the exploit myself. The exploit requires quite a few resources, so it should be difficult to reproduce, and hopefully support can shut down the loophole before the actual mechanism gets leaked. Our intention in creating this thread is to make it as visible as possible so that it can be fixed as quickly as possible.

I hope that nobody can guess on what the exploit in fact operates before cg will fix the loophole. I intentionally hidden that. Although I'm not sure if this thread won't transform into typical witch hunt and drama thread instead of being a message to the community to raise awareness.

Some people apparently still can't tell a difference between smart MacGyvers helping the community in any way they can (like me, or KnSYS), and between users who are using their knowledge for their own gains and are always playing non-fair behind everybody's back. It would make my life much easier if people didn't see me or my projects as their enemies.

P.S. I spotted some "bad guys" using the similar mechanism already. Fortunately, just a few.

Coming from programming theory, I have an idea of what it could be..
But won't investigate that further :P
Hope cg fixes it ASAP and it get fixed before someones makes it public :)

Why would anyone like to get more points? Most of the time I'm sitting on 300 points... I'm having hard time on spending even 50 of them... and after 15 minutes i'm back on 300 again.

People who enter any GA regardless of whether they want the game or not.
Or just people with enormous wishlists.

Must be really enormous then, I have just over 200 things on my wishlist and I still struggle to get below 250 most of the time.

Can you post specifics about the glitch after it gets fixed? Just out of curiosity =).

Yes, after cg's permission, and after I make sure that the loophole is fixed.

Do we even care about points anymore ? I never ran out of them for almost a year now ...

Most users don't. I ran out a day ago, but that was entering giveaways that didn't end for days, so I didn't even need to use them all. That said, it's an exploit that could be a huge problem if left unchecked.

that's how I get more points if I need them.... just leave GA that are not close to ending... and make sure before I goto bed to spend all my points
