Doesn't need to be hot glue, could be epoxy or cast urethane, but I'm broke and only had hot glue. Cheap, easy to make, takes a high current, won't shake loose and easy to put in a less exposed part. Only need to get the screw though a hole, not a whole link.
Would this be acceptable at UK events? I don't see why not though it could be argued it takes a while to remove the link. I'm looking to replace the one on my flipper which currently has a deans connector but keeps breaking, bending and falling out so want a more sturdy solution!
