I'm not following you (and I'm not sure you're following me). Wikimedia's response to the "gather user feedback regarding the site" issue has been MoodBar, which, regardless of the demographic I happen to sit in, looks ridiculous. I can find a number of people from other demographics who agree. You write that MoodBar wasn't built to be a general purpose issue reporting tool. But you also write that hundreds of editors are successfully reporting issues and receiving responses from other editors. Something isn't aligning here. As I said, a generic reusable feedback tool that doesn't treat our users like retards would be cool. MoodBar _might_ be version 0.1 of this concept, but it needs a lot of work.
