Final word on "dumb" reports: you have no idea how irritating it is for us to be doing work on the site and have every little intermediate step be reported by people who obsessively like making nonsensical, impatient reports that are often not even real issues.

There are categories of site "issues" that tend to be reported:
  • Things that would never, ever be addressed in a thousand years (a complicated or unnecessary request that no one would have time for)
  • Things that are obviously being tested or are temporary (debug output or messages)
  • Things that are properties of the forum software itself and, even if they were actually a real problem, should be reported to vBulletin and not us
  • Actual bugs or errors within our realm of fixing (related to our vB modifications or non-forum sites)

If your issue isn't #4, it WILL be trashed. We're not magic gods of every whim users have for the forums. It's just a communication tool, and we have better ways to spend our time.

Furthermore, there is an "AlliedModders" category on the bug tool to report site issues (it has been there since the start). The "Site Issues" forum will be closed soon, so there will be no excuse with cluttering the forums with bogus requests; your request will just get closed and that's that.

I hate to be a bug report nazi over this stuff, but it's very clear that there's a small group of people who continually abuse their reporting privileges, whereas most others use it fairly.

Edit: If it's a vBulletin issue, it will be directed to Jelsoft.
