Please understand that the developers do not maintain the forum...any part of it. Other staff, mostly volunteer, do that. If you saw the sheer volume of reports (and spam and complaints and rants and questions and requests for free cents and requests for a job and everything else) that gets posted in that forum, you'd understand that for us to pay a programmer to sift through that for 50 hours a week would be a sheer waste.

We know there is a bit of a communication disconnect between the staff who maintain the forums and the developers who fix the bugs. We're working on adding more transparency and posting more information, and for those who've been around since beta I think you'll agree it's 1000% better than it used to be. We still have a way to go.

Posting through every single thing people try to put up in the bug reports forum would be idiotic. Seriously. Maybe one day I'll screenshot the thing so you know what I mean. It is time-consuming enough to read every posting, sort out the new bugs or new information on known bugs, catalog it, prioritize it, assign it to a team member, track it's progress, notify liasons of the fixes, and post those out. At the moment we simply do not have the process in place to keep 100% up-to-date on the forum postings of all submissions, nor do we have the time.

Perhaps having a bug reporting forum at all is a bad idea, as it builds expectations in players like yourself that all bugs will be rapidly assessed and posted.
