Hi all! I'm new to Kaggle and I've enjoyed this competition and learned a lot (many thanks to olivier, mtdisco10, Silogram, Ashish, and everyone else for their fantastic insights and discussion). However, recent leaks (see https://www.kaggle.com/c/ga-customer-revenue-prediction/discussion/68235) have been revealed that look like they have the potential to put the spirit of the competition in jeopardy (at least that is my interpretation). What is the usual protocol in these situations? Have competitions been voided in the past over these types of issues? Any insight is appreciated! :)
