Same holds true for anyone with privileges on any forum system. (Will note on large forums, not everyone gets this particular privilege.)
2. They can respond in the other thread.
3. If you want a "personal" response on the matter, use PMs and give them a link to the thread you posted. They can then respond via PM that they are looking into it or post in that thread.
Does there really need to be a debate about it? I didn't bother read through the wall-of-text ***** post to see if I could actually filter anything real or not out of it. If you want to post something in Tech & Bugs, keep it about tech issues and bugs. You could have filtered out the real bug and exploits and made a concise post, but instead, you didn't do either. You just linked to a **** post elsewhere.
