Is Bricklink talk taboo?

Wow! Locking a discussion and this comment seem kinda rude:

Do we look like the Bricklink help line? As much as we all love the site, unfortunately we at EB don't know anything more than you do.

No I don't think you are, but maybe someone in this 'community' can help alienwar9 out with info. Or do you know 100% that no BL mods are members here and might be able to help.

How are site issues on BL any less relevant than the one that happened on Brickshelf?

From the site guidelines:

5. LEGO or site issue topics are almost always OK to post in. For example, the Brickshelf topic or the I'm in Outline view and don't know how to get out will always be relevant.

Many posts contain links to BL for parts/sets, and I think potential security risks at BL puts us all at risk.

Is there a special thread for BL discussions or are we not allowed to talk about it? If I were to discuss problems with this site on BL I doubt it would be locked there.

You can check the Bricklink forum, it has all the info you need:

The database was attacked, all transactions between 20:00 06/01 and 01:30 06/02 BL time are gone forever.

I have to agree. I haven't seen too many unprofessional actions by Eurobricks staff, but this is clearly an example of one. Can someone in EB administration explain further why this might have been justified?

I think the op had a valid topic

Sorry about that, guys. Just an oversight on our part.

I was the one who locked that thread and looking back I probably should have merged it. I apologize for acting a little rash, it seemed like it was a repeat thread for a known issue on something that was out of our hands. It was a mistake on my part, sorry guys.
