Chill out with being so passive aggressive. That wasnt really helpful at all and was also putting a lot of dirt on the staff members that work hard to give you the privilege of playing this game.
As far as the issue at hand. If messing around with leadership status on certain players wont work you'll just have to be patient until a staff member can handle the issue at hand. I haven't seen any fix for this. I wish I could help but I honestly have no knowledge of this bug.
