That`s crazy.
Technically it isn`t a "bug" in the game but rather admin error. For it to qualify as a "bug", it has to be a programming error that can be repeated over and over again by anyone without "special assistance". If he is exploiting a bug, then you must conclude that the admin is a party to this exploitation since it wouldn`t have happened without said admin. Obviously since admins are morally perfect beings who can never do anything evil on purpose (which is why admins and Stephen ARE the final arbiters of game morality), this would be borderline blasphemy.
Therefore, this is an honest mistake on the part of the Admin and we should assume that Scion (in his newbish naiveté) honestly thought this was a normal part of the game`s mechanics. To be fair, he should be warned not to do anything game breaking while the problem is being fixed like build to 440 million pr with Hun-Li and setting off a UW or harass someone with the ships who can`t explore for boarders. ^_^
