Champions

gollark: I am willing to pay people absolutely nothing of "real" financial value for finding and reporting "personal data leaks". Partly because payments are irritating to do and have security problems and partly because it would possibly encourage stuff like finding my data somewhere and creating/reporting fake sites. However, I *can* pay you in krist, an entirely fake not-really-cryptocurrency on a few Minecraft servers, or melons.
gollark: That's... not really better?

gollark: When I'm bored, it can be fun to look at osmarks.tk access logs and laugh at bots trying to exploit software I do not actually run.
gollark: Technically it's kind of a horrible hack, it disables the native element appearance and then adds a background image containing the arrow, but oh well.
