Yeah, we pre-petitioned this, the answer they gave us was "not an exploit". In fact they gave the same answer to a corp who's war we took, they petitioned it right up to the top and got the same answer. Trust me, we did our homework before launching this project. Throwing out the 'cheat' card seems a hasty after we've been a virtual *sticky for almost 2 weeks. I'll be open minded and assume GM Nova just walked in the door from a long holiday.

You bug reported it, so you got a response from their Bug Hunters, or at leasts that's what Ashely Sky posted earlier looked like.
Trust me, it was pre-petitioned. Using the in-game petition system under the heading of Exploit. There is no misdirection here, in fact quite the opposite.
and....
It was bug reported after that, just to be sure.

iMune backstory;
When we discovered this game mechanic, it was being used on us. We weren't too happy about it, but we didn't throw a forum tantrum like most of you here. We petitioned it like the rules say to do when you find a possible exploit. For you tantrum dancers; petitions and bug reports are 2 completely different things, we did both.
The results were, get over it, it's supposed to be this way. Then a light bulb went off, if you can't beat 'em, join em. iMune was born. We expected a huge uproar and boy were we right. The forum whiners gave me more belly laughs in the last 2 weeks than all the smacky victims I've tortured all put together. Thank you for being the malfunctioning smoke alarms you are.
As for how this is being addressed by CCP, it needs some lovin'. Tossing out the cheat card, censorship and locking threads is dirt under the carpet damage control. There's healthier ways to implement a solution without disturbing the player base. This item contains a hint.

FYI
The rules of reporting exploits are clear, they are handled through the petition system only, please take a moment to read them.
If reporting exploits on the forums are against the rules, then encouraging them should be too. GM Nova should of locked this thread and followed company protocol by telling the OP to file a petition like everyone else.
The handling of this issue here instead of through the standard protocol petition system is what created this matter of confused policies.

This is cheating, plain and simple. CEOs exploiting this loophole will receive a warning from now on.

It's a good thing we're not a bogus alliance who's sole purpose is to give corps a way out of wars, or I might feel insulted by the tone of that news item. 
iMune Empire is a real alliance who paid a real billion isk to create a one of a kind business model that succeeded in no time flat. One of the things we found was a one-click self-advertising perpetual way to bring hot headed action right to our doorstep, it worked flawlessly. Corps brought us free wars and donated hundreds of millions, our pvp corps/players got loads of hi-sec action, and we had tons of belly laughs watching it all unfold.
I would of rather seen a new post made by GM Nova, but I appreciate the apology. This is the type of thread that should of been locked by a mod and a note to the OP telling him to file a petition. That would of made a world of difference here. (this item contains a hint)
iMune Empire is still open for business, read the new rule, understand the parameters and then come join the fun. We'll take those wars off your hands, you just can't leave right away. 
As for the new nerf in our honor, Ashley Sky and I take a bow.

I think it would be best to apologize for the bluntness of my initial reply to this thread. It is not my intention to label iMune Empire or any of their clients as cheaters. It has been unclear as to how the mechanics surrounding this was supposed to work exactly so it should not be assumed that they were intentionally exploiting.

im sorry if this seems like a troll...
No, you're not, it's a clear intention. You Wyliee, of all people on this thread should read and comprehend the forum and game rules, as you have clearly broken a number of them. Try to remain calm, I know you're a bit upset about all of this.
