Imagine a potential Reason user comes to ReasonTalk, sees a post pinned on top about bugs that are in the program they want to buy...
Are you suggesting that letting someone know that products they want to buy have bugs which will never get fixed is somehow doing a disservice?
why on Earth would you want to potentially turn away new users that could bring in more revenue?
I'm not trying to be a dick.... but seriously? Did I read that correctly? So profits come first, no matter what? I've got a car to sell you.... runs perfectly... nothing wrong with it. It gets 1000 miles/gallon.
I think developers should stand behind their products and fix their bugs. And if they don't, I think it's pretty messed up. Perhaps my language and tone have been a bit strong in this thread, that's because it really pisses me off when a Dev acknowledges a bug and then does nothing to fix it.
I think you might have the wrong idea of what I have in mind. I'm not talking about raiding businesses with pitchforks or being uncivil. I don't want RT to be like KVR. Unaddressed bugs is a hot-button issue for me, so my tone has been admittedly strong.
HOWEVER, there is nothing wrong with compiling a list of products containing reported/confirmed bugs. It would, at the very least, give a potential buyer correct information to make a wise purchase. The product page in the shop certainly isn't going to tell them about the bugs. Think of it like Consumer Reports for REs. And if you can't support such a thing, I really don't understand why. And that's fine, we don't have to agree.
I get that you're not happy about bugs, I get it, I don't like them in software either and there are some in Reason I hate that I doubt will get fixed...
Glad we agree about this.

I just think this is the wrong approach. This is some scarlet letter bullshit.
Scarlet letter B for bug, maybe? Perhaps that should be the subject line of the topic.

A list of known bugs on REs in the RE part of ReasonTalk, would indeed be very helpful................... not a fan club.
I completely agree with you.
