So I went back to the bread where I asked about the gold outlining and checked into each of the anons who also had it. We all were posting legitimate topics, discussing legitimate issues and weren't causing any BS.
There is no way to prove it actually meant anything but shit like that doesn't just randomly hit a select few on a forum. Makes me wonder if the golden color actually has meaning and it was a message. No idea, impossible to validate but odd none the less.
