One thing you have to uderstand that some of the so called exploits I've heard about appear to be misconceptions. The BH - Ranged combo is in most cases speed capped considering the choice of finely crafted and sliced weapons so a Macro executing commands simply minmizes the delay in human reaction time.
Think about it.

Set your combat log to be decriptive and time stamps on. You can see what attack is being used and how often. If it looks like they're using an attack faster than they should be, /report them.

NO. No reason to let more ppl know how this works. It is out of hand allready.

Which exploit? The timer one is EASY to identify. Put your combat log into detailed (forgot what it's called) and if you see a special spamming faster than it should then you know.
And example, I tested that I could spam bacta shot every 1-2 seconds, usually 2. I found I could spam headshot and adv critical or torso shot every 1-3 seconds untill my action wore out, now this was with a rifle.
With carefull timing and maybe a macro and some speed capped weapons, I imagine 1-2 second spamming of the heaviest shots is easily possible.
I won't post or PM the method used, but I have had them all used against me.
The only one I don't understand is the crashing one, but I have some ideas on how it's done.
EDIT--- I don't use these to exploit in any way, I just did it to test the severity of the problem, and it's pretty severe IMHO.

what I find sad is that I keep reading about the nerfing of cloak and making the requirement of a saber in hand to use jedi powers instead of fixing of known bugs and exploits. Looks to me as if nerfing has a higher priority than fixing things. Is it me or is this what I have been noticing for so long now.
what no powers unless saber equpied ???
have the devs even seen the films... did darth have his glowy stick equiped when doing his choke'athon on the deathstar ..or the emperor when frying luke ???

That pretty much sums it up, I think...

I see alot of stuff and it seems nothing is being worked out. All that is happening anymore is nerfs to our prof, so while we are gettin weaker the bh's and other profs just get more equiped to take us out. I think our cor needs to get these issues fixed and stop the nerfs or let someone that can handle it. im gettin really sick of our prof turning to crap without any resistance what so ever

No, there is a why to bypass the timers and turn a 6 second cooldown to 1-3 second cooldown. I've tested it after being informed of it, and it can be macroed in ways DEFINITELY not intended.
Oh, but the only one that REALLY scares me that I hope was noticed by Baciacca was the exploit causing crashes. The timer one has a downside to it, it eats your action and mind, I can deal with that one somewhat. But the crashing one is one that almost got me.
just a question but is this how 4004 docs can heal so fast? i have seen them heal while being ganked by a mob of jedi many many times and they seem to heal at will over and over and on top of that loose very little mind. I have seen them do it with no ruby bliel also they dont take it. I just dont know if it a game mechanic or a way of using the timer sploit to heal faster but it is imbalacing what ever the case is.
I would compare it to the old jedi heals with no timers and no mind loss.

Bacta Jab uses next to nothing for mind, but only heals around 300-400. Even with the exploit I don't think that would keep up with 2+ jedi beating on you. The bact shot can heal for 1500+ but uses about same amount of mind as we do (or should). If they're poping the heavy heals without losing much mind, I'd like to know how.

As long as it isn't fixed, the only way to "balance" things would be if everyone knew how to use them.
If everyone is exploiting, at least we'll be equal and no one will have any advantages based on unfair gameplay.

the more who knows about it the more will report the ones who use it.... No need for hush hush !
