So we don't have a better bug report forum because moderation is hard?
Okay.
Foxy is right in that, no matter what they do on this forum, there will always be those who flatly refuse to read any instructions (or don't understand them when they do), and then post whatever they want, where ever they want - and still get mad when they don't get an immediate answer. Just like there will always be those who think the way to get a support ticket answered faster is to do a chargeback on Paypal - then come on the forum throwing a fit because they've been suspended and still don't have their issue resolved.
People, sadly, are idiots sometimes.
The only thing I can suggest is that you could ask for volunteers from among the forum vets that know the game well (preferably both versions) to help sort thru the bug report posts. They would mainly be responsible for removing those that are silly, off topic, in the wrong place, or just useless - making the job easier on yourself and the other Evony staff that have to read the real bug reports and handle them.
With these "volunteers" having powers limited to removing and/or moving inappropriate "bug report" posts, and merging duplicate reports on a single issue, it would take a bit of the burden off of the mods and reps while still allowing more of the real bug reports to get posted so that others can see the issue has been reported.
Plus, it would give some of our friends like PracticalFool a chance to laugh really hard at all the crazy posts. ;-)
Just one idea...
You cant micro manage idiots. There will always be crazies. However I also know that you did not post some of my bug reports. Yes I did do a search to see if they were already posted.
Edit: No I did not post over and over. No I did not demand immediate responce. Yes certain of those bugs were eventually fixed anyway.
Hmm. So when you were making this thread asking for an Age II update, did you notice there are 2 threads chock-full of Age II updates, created by me, in this very forum?
can I flame u for that LadyMoe? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzz?? I never flame anybody :( I haz a major sad :'( :,(
good idea btw.
I suggest it be called "Community Bug Alert"
Run by Evony community volunteers for INFORMATIONAL purposes only.
shhh dawn.. we're trying to distract egami from the original title of the thread! ur a real hellraiser now!
Another reason bug reports are posted over and over is because they are never fixed :rolleyes:...
Would a bug tracker similiar to the one used by phpbb for their development be impractical for a game?
