I think berserk is fine in user created tourneys as long as the tc after berserking is of the same TC group. For eg, zerkimg in 2+0 is playing as 1+0 and both TC's are bullet. But I agree that zerking should be completely banned for 1+60 and etc.
Are you saying berzerk can be used to boost rating?

Beware! That's how @tpr got chatbanned.
@FC-in-the-UK he's saying it can be used to boost rating of the wrong time control

if u have a 1+60 classical game and both ppl berserk, then ur playing 1/2 + 0, but it still affects your classical rating. not your bullet rating
@opperwezen this is a very good point, i think that it could be fixed by removing zerking from rapid and clasical tourneys because all zerking does in them is unfairly gain points and it would stop this from happening
