The exploit you mention isn't possible. If, however, you set the game to quick host and a SET host time (e.g. 3am each day) then the exploit you mention is very possible.
I agree about that particular (non-existent) exploit and I have something to add about quickhost with set host times.

I experimented with one set time + quickhost. My time was 11 pm Mondays for a "once weekly" game. All turns were completed about 2 hours BEFORE 11 pm on Monday, and the "next host time" updated to 170 hours, which was 11 pm the following Monday.

It ignored the scheduled host later on the same Monday in which the turns were completed.

I imagine that if I had entered a set time for Tuesday, it would have updated the "next host" to that date/time, but would a second quickhost turn on Monday haved cause the Tuesday host to be skipped? Dunno, did not test that.

I am guessing that quickhost causes the next set time to be skipped, but I have no idea whether it is cumulative, i.e., whether two quickhosts causes the next two host times to be skipped, becuase I did not test that.
