I created a story a while ago, but then decided that the plot wasn't that substantial and decided to delete it. I then created a different, stronger story, but foolishly decided to upgrade it to advanced. After deleting that one and making another, I realized that I had still retained my EXP points that were given to me after creating the now-deleted stories.
It would be pretty easy for any user to abuse this to gain many EXP quickly this way.
