Exploit/Cheat: Please Fix the Risa Dance Off

For at least a couple years, the Risa dance off has had an exploit allowing players to collect rewards without actually participating.
The behavior can be observed by going to a low-population Risa zone just before a dance off (I've observed it most often during Pacific-time evenings). A couple minutes into the party, multiple characters parked on the dance floor begin logging in and out in very rapid succession. Few remain visible for more than 1 or 2 seconds, making real-time reporting extremely difficult (best to record it on video and right-click the characters when they appear so you can get the account names later). The characters all belong to the same group of accounts. Some of the characters have dance-off themed names, and/or belong to fleets with Lohlunat-storage themed names, making it even more obvious what their purpose is. At least one of the fleets involved was also involved in the Winter Wonderland race exploit from a few years back.
Despite recording video and reporting individual accounts last year and this year, the exploit remains in place, and the same violators continue to use it. I encourage anyone who has the inclination and recording ability to also file reports; with enough attention, Cryptic may close the loophole allowing this group of accounts to collect literally thousands of lohlunat tokens during each and every dance off while the rest of us grind the event away.
