>f you knew Q's password
They wouldn't need to know the pwd.
They would set their own pwd that would use the hardcoded old Q TC in the custom tripcode logic that exists.
That's the only logical explanation for how Q's old TC would have been active after the Salt rotation on Friday.
The explanation that there's a workaround only for Q is bunk.
His TC needed the old Salt to he in place otherwise a different TC would have been generated after he entered his pwd.
This is pure fuckery and everyone from Jim on down to the BO and BVs are in on it.
