I did not know this was considered common knowledge. However, I would consider it false. It is directly contradicted both by recent changes to integration with OSN and by the dev's statement that he was seriously considering the creation of a button to make friendly submissions optional. From what I've read in the forums--and I admit I've read only bits here and there--I do not get the impression that there is no chance of any future updates. I'll remain optimistic on this count.

No, jchris is right. There are going to be no new changes except for bugfixes, and even those are rare unless they are major bugs. A fix like this is most likely not going to happen.

This is a bug! A bug of epic proportions that exists solely in the matching system.
Also I would like to point out that the community was not aware of something like this being possible. It was only known that you could take advantage of P1 games by only playing maps which you are strictly good at for whatever reason. Although you can argue that, that knowledge implied that you could do what SuperDonkey has done it was still not known that such a thing is plausible with random game match ups. SuperDonkey proved that it is plausible and for this reason I would argue that if he had not made this post (or instead told AA) then anyone who would find out about this would be able to exploit this bug and never be caught. Furthermore it is possible that there are other people who are currently taking advantage of this bug. By publicly announcing this bug I think it forces AA to fix this bug since there will be people attempting copy what SuperDonkey succeeded in doing.

TL;DR -- This is a bug. I'm glad SuperDonkey posted this. I hope AA fix this bug. Thank you for pointing out this bug and not abusing it.
