According to an anonymous forum user claiming to be one of the four, he made a plug-in for the ordering system to place orders on the overloaded site, after he failed to get in manually. The plug-in ended up successfully ordering 16 boxes, before he realised what had happened.

Alibaba moved quickly and fired him just two hours later, he claims.

The company said the firing was necessary because it was an issue of integrity.

But debate has been raging on Weibo for the past day since news broke of their firing. While many applauded Alibaba for maintaining a "high standard integrity", some said the punishment was harsher than necessary.

Some netizens also called for harsher punishment on the managers and technical staff who made the ordering system.

Alibaba's payment spinoff, Ant Financial Services, also has a special edition mooncake set for its employees. The company runs the Alipay payment platform used across Alibaba's ecommerce businesses, as well as by hundreds of thousands of businesses in the country.
