I can't give a definitive answer because it is situational but not everything strategy-related that will give advantages is illegal - and hardly so. Especially as we are just in our second season with FHM, it's not always easy to create a catch-all rule about what is and is not okay to do. But if you will recall, Hamilton finding an exploit in STHS actually did not get punished - rather rule amendments were made to nip it in the bud along with a much-needed sim engine change.

However, if you do break an existing rule in submitted lines/strategies, you will be punished for it.

As for the abuse, I can't really say. I don't have any messages about it from him and I do not know who he raised the issues with so I really can't comment on it but he is more than welcome to bring his concerns to me.

I think this situation as a whole should warrant a conversation about introducing a "palpably unfair" rule, which would cover situations like this. Something in place for "this shouldn't be a thing, but we haven't had something explicit about it yet" rule.

I'm not trying to say the NOLA situation and this are the exact same, just to be clear. I know we explicitly broke a rule, I'm not trying to say we didn't.
