In addition to what TJK wrote :
of course, there's a "proper bug reporting system". And, of course, this one is only usable by recognized users (the developpers off course, the betatesters and the moderators of the forum, mainly).
Such a tool can't be open to everyody, or it would be full of redundant reports, of personnal requests, and other stupid things, which would make it totally unusable. Which would be totally unprofessional, to reuse your word.
Reassure yourself, the bugs users report on the forum have (most of the time) already been reported, are already taken into account, and are maybe even already corrected in beta patches.
We (moderators) are here to be an interface beetween user requests/bug reports on this forum, and the bug tracker tool.
