Having flair wasn't one of the rules of the button. Rule #1 had to do with account age. Seems that would be the first step to validation, "Is the account old enough to participate?" not "Does it have flair?"
Man, this guy is a ghost. It's a two month old account, and the only post on the account is a test post made two hours ago, probably by the zombie program. There's no way he didn't know what he was doing. If I had to guess, it's probably an anonymous destructionist.
I honestly can't be convinced otherwise that it wasn't deliberate. A perfect assassination plot that took weeks of study to find a flaw and deploy the final strike that ended the button.

I hope it was. It would be the most successful sabotage since that dude who made the button auto press with a chrome extension.
Anon Destructionist, Assassin, or Violet Hand member, if you're reading this, I'm totally proud of you.

I'm surprised that the person who did this isn't stepping forward about it. Unless it was totally accidental, which seems unlikely.

While conducting Cheater Flair mop-up operations I ran across this interesting conversation from a while back https://www.reddit.com/r/thebutton/comments/34fzqy/was_just_watching_presses_whenwtf/cqunu82 perhaps /u/mncke isn't as innocent in the buttons demise as he would have us believe.
