God could there have been a better way to drama bomb the mailing list? I
don't think I've ever seen anything elicit such responses. I was simply
saying, its a public server, anyone can join, we are keeping out the
people with the mathacks, and distributing items to everyone.

Gotta say, I don't really care what you do with your server
(although that approach does sound a wee-bit exploitative -- and
potentially lucrative considering what some of the event items
seem to sell for) but I got a chuckle out of "so everyone gets
their fair share" when discussing a means of gaming the system.
Also liked the "especially since other people are cheating worse"
part.

I have a server right now that I have several people on,
running viaduct_event, and what we've been doing is noclipping
to the gifts and handing them out to everyone evenly; my
problem is that this could qualify as farming, but we're doing
it for everyone evenly so everyone gets their fair share,
especially since some people have material hacks from last
year already for the giftbox model and instantly get to it.
Everyone is in agreement for this, but since its farming, is
that abuse?

I'd say it would be the nature of the server. A server that
mostly attract lulzy players who don't mind/expects this kind
of stuff? Sure. Average servers, no.
Personally though, I wouldn't risk giving my players heart
attacks. ;)
