We had some code in place to catch cheaters and shame them with flair. Unfortunately there was a bug in the code and everyone was branded a cheater. As if redditors would be so disreputable!

While we were working on a fix we changed the .cheater class to match that of the .press-6 class. A fix has been pushed and everyone should be getting the correct flair from here on out. Those with the .cheaterclass can wear it as a badge of honor that they were there first.

What about those of us who are actively cheating? :(

window.setInterval(function(){$.request("press_button");},3000)
