Help and support needs a "Bugs" forum, or something similar, for members to report issues with the site.
The suggestion forums are crowded with posts about "Add <blank>" and "remove <blank>", suggestions based on opinions, not actual problems.

A section for users to report bugs would be helpful in making other members aware that the bug exists, so they don't freak out if they stumble into it, and if there's a way to avoid it, they can do so.
This would also help organize what issues are currently being fixed, so every other user is not PMing staff "Hey, this is broken". Or if they do, they can be directed to a forum for them.

Yes, a forum full of everything that's wrong with the site isn't the best thing for our image..
But let's be real here, neither is hiding it.

Your thoughts would be highly appreciated.
(I'm a developer, so I'm a bit biased in favor of issue tracking. ;))

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

There's a selection for bugs in support tickets. That should be enough, bugs also shouldn't be exploited as they could be abused
I am aware.
Those would be beneficial for issues involving a single user, or like you said, something that could be abused.

But for things like the shoutbox building up cache that could potentially crash a user's browser...
Other users need to know.

Yeah the more publicity a bug receives he better chance it has at a patch. Mojang has a system of bug trackers and it works efficiently. Perhaps a Bug tracking rank could be issued to a user who is willing to look into this type of a forum and potentially moderate it.

Voted yes. Wouldn't be a bad idea.

For everyone voting "No", please say why you're voting no?
This is why I dislike certain polls.
