This is entirely my opinion as a user and layperson helper both here on bugzilla and more extensively in two user forums. As Qubit (QA) indicates "we're all interested in how we can improve the experience for our users" and I firmly support that sentiment. The main danger with the above is that it can result in an increase of reports like bug #67450. As Joel Madero (QA) points out in the related comments to that bug, it is fundamentally unhelpful to simply provide an example problematic file with a comment like "does not work" or similar. A report needs to be more specific if it is to have any chance of: (a) being understood / comprehended; (b) being reproduced; (c) being fixed. Developers usually fix single issues. A small report clearly outlining the steps required to reproduce a single problem is essentially a better report. If a small example file clearly showing the problem can be provided, so much so the better.

We've had a bit of discussion about whether one should have to > login before submitting a bug report or feedback. > How would you address the problem of SPAM I think SPAM is one issue but IMO an even more important one is social responsibility. This is essential to the wellbeing of any community. Demanding that participants register for an account promotes this and is a fairly consistent approach across most sites where users can provide feedback and generally comment on issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
