I agree on the statement that this issue should be highlighted, either in a sticky post or added in the FAQ. As you may not know, I am only a moderator for the chat, so I cannot add or change things on the forum sections. I have sent a message to a support moderator on Skype and hopefully he will answer this issue in the next 24 hours.
Secondly, if you know the difference in the logins, what problem are you having with creating a ticket? You do not require your login for Freedom or the forums, Facebook or Twitter is all you need to sign up, and then you can create a ticket.
