It's because the solver had to solve part of the clue and then include the answer in an anagram - bit naughty that

I thought that was fairly common.

Maybe it is in Canada Greg ( I know the US has a different rule set ) but in the UK razing of bruin citadel would indicate an anagram of bruin citadel, not an anagram of bruin and a synonym for citadel.

I doubt Canada has any rules for this. But from what little I've read, I'd put you firmly in the Ximenean camp. 
Many of those posted here recently required mapping one word to another. Is this only naughty for anagrams?
The solution had 11 letters. But bruin citadel has 12, so one word must be a synonym. Bruin to bear fails. So it must be a 6-letter synonym for citadel.

If you indicate that the answer is an anagram then we expect to see all the letters present in the clue. It doesn't really make sense otherwise.

Regarding the reference to Ximenean - I'm in that camp and it's a good one

I'm reworking a series of books for Russian children – starting with "Winnie the Putin".

I don't know if you vodka about this, but I think I Tzar that in a bookstore.
By the way, do you know where Moscow is? Right next to Pa's cow.

Are the next books "Alice in the Gulag" and "Through the Peephole"?

Would it be fair to call the well attended Flowers Family reunion a "bunch of flowers"? 
Hopefully OG has not used this already.

If they are all physically large,they would be a Pride of Katz.
Otherwise, they would be a Glaring of Katz.

If that happened around our joint, it'd either be a collection of Wall Flowers or an Icehouse.

I'm signing up for an Autocad (Eagle software) account and I am warned about my password (being too long because mine is 64 chars):
https://i.stack.imgur.com/99w35.png[^]
But, then, everyone wonders why so many accounts are hacked. 
I don't.
At least this one allows 50. Many only allow 15.
And, I still don't understand why this would matter if the password is hashed and the company only stores the hash anyways. They shouldn't care how long the password is at all since they would throw it away anyways.

If a brute force attack is taken to hack an account, the longer the password the more difficult it is to come across. Or so I would think.
