You're sure?

Have you been living under a rock in the past year or so?

Just a few month ago, one of the biggest contributors of this wiki went on an isane editing spree for the sole purpose of "being first". Made the entire wiki pretty much unusable for a few weeks too ('cause he made tiny edits to thousands of articles which clogged the wiki history to the point of us being completely unable to track any ongoing discussion).

He didn't admit this was on purpose, but his edit-mania mysteriously stopped once he was ranked first.

And at the time, nobody gave a ****.

As for Edwin's loophole, I don't know if to be angry about it or to cheer his discovery.. Since using this loophole makes the points virtually worthless, it also makes it infinitely more silly for people to try and hack the system. Would this mean that people would stop this kind of behavior? I'd like to think so, but quite frankly I'm not optimistic.
