Bullshit and SOE is big time guilty of this. Ignore all the rational critiques and only respond to the silly ones. If developers are unable or unwilling to create a filter that separates board spam from legitimate and helpful post - then who's fault is that?

And in spite of her whining - and she trots all all the usual excuses - why do developers continue to make the same design mistakes that lead to these problems?

Complexity doesn't automatically mean more fun but it almost certainly results in more exploits, more balance issues, and more downtime - along with prolonged development cycles.
