Yes, you!Who, me? "Thoughts"?
The XPoff-Editor works quite well when "adding" formatting to plain-text... the problems seem to arise when Non-XPoff formatting somehow "infects" a post that you're composing.
On literally the first word of your OP ("After..."), you can find the following BBCode:Those are three modifiers that the XPoff-Editor doesn't normally craft in such a fashion...Code:[LEFT][SIZE=14px][COLOR=rgb(215, 215, 200)]After
Granted, XPoff can still understand those modifiers... so it can be difficult to notice when they're present (until they start getting "mixed-and-matched" with the XPoff-style formatting and things start breaking).
- "LEFT" isn't used, because it's the default.
- "SIZE" isn't quantified using "px".
- "COLOR" isn't described using "rgb()".
The OP was completely infested with that type of stuff, but your "Pinkies Up!" post is not... so I can only hypothesize that early-on in the creation of your OP, you inadvertently Copy/Paste-ed a bit of "pre-formatted text" (perhaps from a different Application/Website/Post/etc.), and it ended-up "spreading" as you made additions.
As for solutions... in the "short term" it's quite easy for me to simply strip all the superfluous BBCode, and you could see if it reduces your frustration:
Code:After seeing [USER=42427]@zazzyfraz[/USER] and [USER=20938]@Coliz[/USER] talking about this briefly in the F2P picture thread, I knew I had to get out there. So big shoutout to them both! I've been farming the rares for a few days now and wanted to get this info out there. There's a few things to note: Scalebeard, the turtle doesn't drop this gear, at least I haven't seen any drop yet. He only drops level 20-ish gear and it doesn't seem like his gear scales funnily enough. This leads me to believe that this is a bug. The only thing I can think is that this is due to Azshara being an old level 60 zone and them messing around with zone scaling and stuff. This might get fixed so get your transmog now. This is far from an exhaustive list. I am still finding new items almost everyday.

...and in the "long term", I suspect that your awareness of the issue (assuming I'm correct about the cause) will be sufficient to prevent it from reoccurring. It's actually common-enough that most web-browsers have both a "Normal Paste [Ctrl+V]" and a "Plain-Text Paste [Ctrl+Shift+V]" to help prevent precisely these sorts of format-incompatibilities.
(Sometimes when making a post that I know will have numerous Copy/Paste-ings from WoWhead, I'll even paste them all into a plain-text editor like NotePad™ first, just so I don't have to worry about any "hidden extras" slipping-through.)
For what it's worth... you might also want to consider "reining-in your scope" just a bit.
I know you'd like "your baby" to be perfect 'n all... but nobody expects you to "include every zone" in a single post, or to make every gear-set "spoilers within spoilers within spoilers within spoilers". Your sanity is more important.
From what I've seen... the affected Rares in both Azshara and Stonetalon appear to be bugged in the same fashion:
The difference is in the magnitude of the bug: the "transmog-level" of the Azshara Rares is a staggering +37 levels above their zone "floor", while Stonetalon's is only +5... so the Stonetalon drops have considerably-less novelty, and most of them could even be "learned" from other sources.
- They both drop only armor.
- They both drop inappropriately-high item-types.
I personally don't think Stonetalon is worth much more than "a footnote" in this type of thread... but I suppose others could disagree.

I can't thank you enough for going above and beyond with the formatting stuff. I honestly don't know what it could be other than the fact that I am using Internet Explorer. I know Chrome has a paste as plain text but this browser doesn't seem too. It's the only thing that I can think of that is different. I've tried the Notepad thing and then it messed it up. It was like XPoff was inserting code into my clean Notepad stuff. Super frustrating. I will paste into Notepad any links and stuff first.
I already narrowed my scope! I originally was going to do a Transmog guide but quickly realized how much work that would be :O
I agree, I think Azshara is definitely just absurd compared to Stonetalon Mountains. I planned for the others to be kind of a footnote unless something else similar to Azshara is found. But I do think they should be mentioned in the thread
I've been told 200 is possible. City cloaks is a staggering 24, I think? Which is crazy. He mentioned city cloaks and I was like "Huh?". But it makes sense, you can buy them but can't equip them. Which makes me think, what other stuff can we do that with.
Also, don't be me. Make sure you have any cloaks, even if it doesn't say you don't have the appearance, it might just be that cloak shares the same appearance. It should still count towards your total.
