But, to my knowledge, the guidelines are just that: guidelines.

you must follow this exact procedure, else, your post won't do any good (and I mean it).
Ok, the wording might be a little bit strong, but since as long as I know, people have interpreted the guidelines in their own way, with success. Even the official translators themselfs don't use the exact litteral way of reporting mistakes like it is suggested in the guidelines. Without anybody, including Patchou, complaining.
The guidelines are there for giving a guideline, in addition to the common sense of how to report a mistake (and, if you like, to provide a strict method for those who don't have common sense
).
I think
that particular post of Patchou is more meant for those who come here and just post "The translation sucks, fix it".
