Is this bug so special it deserves a congratulations from a Mod and a thread in GD?

It potentially could have broken ItemBuildr, ForumBuildr, Kyoubai and Domination if it had been used in an improper manner, and could have done so ‘under the radar’ for a long time.

First off, less than 35 Haxx Peens have been awarded during this site’s entire history. Any awarding of this Peen is a fairly rare event, and warrants some level of temporary exposure.

Second, more common Peen announcements have been placed in GD before, including the “I’m Gay” Peen, which is completely random. Have you lodged a public or private protest about those?

Third, I posted this as Acid Flux intentionally to avoid any insinuation that it was done ‘as a Mod’. We were working on this bug before I was made a Moderator, and I was posting a congratulation to a fellow player & friend.

Fourth, please tell me which sub-forum you feel this would have been more appropriate for this thread, and if I agree, I’ll move it.
