Everyone involved called GMs and were unable to be helped. I don't know the language used to speak with them, but there was also a previous situation a year ago where something similar happened and even then - the GMs were unable to help. My only guess is that the GMs themselves are limited in how they can handle that kind of situation. Outside of SE giving them more power - the only solution available is for the devs to fix this glaring flaw and make sure it never happens again.
