Ruined frame?
Hello, I accidentally tightened the QR on my seat tube while the seat post wasn't in and the seat post doesn't slide down freely anymore. Should I be worried about this or not? I tried to get it looser by pulling it apart a bit with the seat post. It fits in fine, but it doesn't slide down by itself.

Nah, it's fine. You did bend the slot slightly but you didn't hurt anything.
