Alpacinou, I've asked you several times recently to stop bumping your threads. This time, in an attempt to bump, you hit "Report" instead of "Reply", sending an alert to all the moderators! I sincerely hope it was an accident and not an attempt to draw attention to your thread.

One of the moderators once told me if your thread doesn't receive an answer you can hit the report button.

I just want to make sure those four sentences are okay.

That was not one of the UE mods.

None of the current mods would ever have told you that. It's possible that an ex-mod might have mistakenly told you that but they were wrong. The report button is to be used solely to draw mods' attention to unacceptable behaviour or offensive content/language; nothing else.
