To be fair they rejected it because his "report" consisted of a link to a profile where he claimed to have exploited the bug, without any explanation of what he actually did. If he had at least given a rough indication of what the exploit was I am sure they would have reacted differently.

No wonder they ignored the bug report. It looks like a spam e-mail. Why no proper capitalization? Why is your education relevant?


English isn't his first language.


Your point being? He doesn't explain the exploit at all, he just gives them a link to some profile he claims to have exploited (which already violated their ToS).
