I think it's better to ask directly to the manager if you find such an issue before creating such a thread. And yes the red tag member got it after acceptance what previously said by others. Just wait for the first-week payday. I hope the manager will notice it and removed him without pay if there is any rule like this.
On the other hand, a manager chooses participants on the basis of what the project wants. sometimes the project looking for gamble posts, sometimes local boards, sometimes on the other sections, etc. So it is normal that sometimes the manager misses some well-merited users. Suppose me, I have not accepted some members who have lots of merits from the local board. Because the project does not want local board posters.
We are all human here and it is very common that we do something wrong sometimes in out of mind. That why we should be kind always instead of harsh IMO.
