@suchmoon I respect your judgement towards forum people in most of the cases but does this seem to be the same? Clashing of prices in a topic like this/ clashing of tickets in a raffle would be quite a common thing and the OP would always inform the same to the participants. So was I, but since I got to know about the same prices a day later the problem arised. What would anyone do? Either go by LoyceV's way of sharing the prize amount or by informing the participant regarding the price clash and updating the same. I went the latter and if unlocking of topic is not an acceptable behavior from my side I should either update the OP with same price or shouldn't take the price into consideration (which could not happen since hacker posted the same price well before the deadline)
I was referring to a prolific walls-of-text troll who is well-known in Meta and other boards, and the fact that you seem to have many of such walls-of-text drama queens on the Indian boards.
I do know walls-of-text is a pain in the ass for almost all the forum users (including myself) but this was well needed for everyone to know about all the shit happened over. There was none of the drama happening over unless a troll like Rotten Egg stepped in. Feeding a troll like Rotten Egg by creating this topic will no way minimalize his involvement of ruining the board in future, but if this wasn't made the board would again transform into a frog pond.
P.S I never like to involve myself in Reputation board though I have been very active in almost all the global boards but this was needed for the welfare of the Indian board and to prevent trolls from further playing the game.
EDIT :
but I don't know what that help should entail and the OP is not clear about that.
The community inputs regarding the unlocking of a topic due to a price clash. Nothing more. AFAIK there hasn't been an instance of updating the same prices or tickets in a raffle.
