Look, this was a thread that was asking for help rather than "what other members had to say" which translates to a discussion topic. Which it wasn't, Second, your question(s?) were answered so that should be fine in my opinion. Third, on topic it may have been, but in the wrong area it was. The way you are complaining is like if someone posted a Quick Trade Thread request in the Trade Shops forum, rather than the thread. On topic it would have been, but in the wrong sub section. Fourth I feel you are over reacting, loose staff who don't follow their own guidelines like they did now make for a loose forum that ultimately fails (I saw a post by a super moderator on your forum that broke the Trade rules). Fifth, Sydian is a female.
So I do not agree with you, I felt it was entirely appropriate in my opinion.
