Abit insists on continuing - and stated that it would be "good" if people start leaving - and smooth apparently agrees with continuing as well. I think other whales should simply stop complying with the requests. This is both a mockery and a failure. When something like this is haphazardly sprung on the community with no defined goals or parameters, and then a large portion of the community says, "this isn't good," then it's time to stop, evaluate where you went wrong, and work to improve the "testing" for the next attempt, if there is one. You don't double down on the stupidity and extend the time frame.
