i still see it as off-topic, i just ignored it because it's a matter of perspective
that's like one person gets reported for hacking and someone is like HOW DO PEOPLE HACK STILL? you're talking about hacking it's still off topic though
your question was asking and not contributing. it wasn't directed at selene but it could've indeed been a new thread, pretty much anywhere. "how do you deal with spammers" or something like that. it's too many possibilities for me to even type properly .-.
in summary: open eyes, use more buttons the forum gives you, acquire success

i'll just repeat a point to make sure it's clear, you are supposed to contribute to report a rule breaker topics. i agree your warning was fair based on the rules of the section - whether the rules of the section are fair or not is another story. <that is probably what you should change your argument to being about
