The sheer volume of people who think the essential equivalent of "I stuck my dick in a wall socket and now it burns when I pee" = bug report is astounding, yes.

I may still be a bit irritable from when I was collating all that stuff during the 1.5 patch cycle. I think 60%+ of my actual post count is screaming (to myself if not in the post) that no, I really can tell when your crash log says you have Optifine or MCPC+ or something else not in the pack loaded, at which point it's no longer a pack bug and to not post it there. :<

I had a much easier time handling technical support for people when I was attaching $250,000+ invoices to it. Sigh.

Software troubleshooting in a professional sense: Very useful, pays well, and you get funny things to put on r/talesfromtechsupport. Only the loss of sanity is a downside.

On one hand, when they're paying that much or more yearly they actually kind of expect you to treat them like know-nothing rubes and do as they're told and don't improvise when you're telling them to do something. On the other hand, that time in my life taught me very well that corporations and governments in particular don't think of spending money like normal people do.

On the gripping hand, that money disappears very, very quickly when you have to pay taxes, licensing fees, keeping hardware up to date, and, y'know, actually pay salaries for other people in the building.

But that plus seeing how mod authors and those who try to field support on their behalf get treated does lead me to believe in a weird corollary to Sayre's law: the less money people have spent on a product, the more entitled they feel to treat you like utter crap when it doesn't meet their particular expectation. Which provides much of the fuel for this thread.

Brief off topic, but are the deleted post "Reasons for deletion" messages read?

I think it just might be because the more intelligent people can handle the simpler things that you have to pay less for.

Since this might help people see how it works and understand it better, I'll allow it and provide some additional data.

Whenever I delete a post I get the following dialogue:

As you can see, there are two layers of notice on delete. The first one is for me to leave a message to other moderators so they can get a gist of the deletion reason. The second is what pops out a Notice window notification to you letting you know I deleted the message with whatever I throw in there included in the notification.

This window is the same whether it's one post or two whole pages, so when I delete 2-3 pages of off-topic chatter-boxing and leave something like a "This is why we can't have nice things :<" notice, everybody gets the same exact message across that batch (in fact, I'm not certain whether it duplicates it for individual posts for people who have multiple posts in the batch; maybe somebody can enlighten me on that?).

I don't see whether or not anybody sees the notices. It's not reflexive like that. I fire off the volley with a click and away it goes into the ether.

I mean when the users delete the posts, there is a section saying "Reason for deletion" box. Is this even reported to the moderators?

FWIW, you recently deleted 3(?) of my posts in this thread, all of which had the same notice: "Can we please not give me a reason to lock this thread? Pretty please?" Or words to that effect. So yeah, seems to be duplicated. No hard feelings.
