[WE DON'T AGREE] Responses to Bug Reports / Using Tags


Recommended Posts

Posted

A polite request @ mods/devs:

 

Please don't use posting tags to reply to bug reports. Use tags only to document the status of a bug report, like it is done for other modules as well (i.e. [REPORTED], [NO BUG], [FIXED], etc.).

 

But do not use the tags to give an answer or provide other form of input to a bug report. Doing so makes it hard to follow the threads.

 

For example, [NO TRACK PROVIDED] should be just a posting in the thread, as reply to the bug reporte. That way the chronology of how a bug report evolved is preserved and the whole thread makes more sense if later an actual track is provided. ("Why [NO TRACK]? I can SEE that there is a track!").

 

In general, subsequent replies in a thread just can not reference the tag in the title, making a conversation hard to follow.
