[[File:Banning everyone.png|thumb|This was the first message to do this ([https://discord.com/channels/710551456091996260/746219559307968583/811389950393974795 view in Discord])]]

The exploit was first used at 4:13 PM PST (7:13 PM EST, 00:13 UTC) in the #casual channel. It quickly spread to all other channels. This resulted in alive chat dx

Only admins had the power to truly fix the issue. Mods tried their best to help, but the only thing they could really do was lock the channels this was happening in. But once one channel got locked, people just moved to another. There were 40 @everyone ping exploits in total, plus 1 more by Soapkiller in #announcements {{troll}}

[[Weezor]] and [[Luq]] were both offline at the time. That left [[Soapkiller]] as the only admin that could step in, but even he was on Do Not Disturb. His first message was sent at 4:19, but with Soap being the laziest admin, he didn't do anything at first. Dyno got kicked at 4:21, which prevented any further exploits from happening, but also left the mods unable to unlock any channels. With every channel being unusable, VCs got very crowded very fast. Soap re-added Dyno at 4:27. #general was finally unlocked at 4:32, and other channels followed later.
