| uwe | I like to report a bug but I dont like to create an account first. How to do? | 12:14 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | You can't, I'm afraid, at least not on Launchpad. | 12:14 |
| cjwatson | You could try to find a direct contact for some appropriate developer, but lots of people don't like getting bug reports that aren't in a bug tracker because then it's more effort for them to keep track of. | 12:15 |
| cjwatson | Or perhaps you have a friend with the same problem who could proxy the report for you. | 12:16 |
| uwe | Currently I am really pissed of. Everytime I like to help I found gated communitys. | 12:16 |
| cjwatson | Needing to create an account is very different from "gated". | 12:17 |
| cjwatson | Not many gated communities with >4 million members | 12:18 |
| uwe | I be very carefull with my data and create an seperate e-mail account for every community. So this is hard work for me to create an new account. Why nobody like to understand this? | 12:20 |
| cjwatson | I'm sorry, but Launchpad isn't going to change in this regard | 12:20 |
| rbasak | Most bug trackers in our ecosystem require a confirmed email address which requires registration. | 12:22 |
| cjwatson | There are a number of practical reasons why this is common practice in just about anything written in the last couple of decades: spam mitigation is one of them | 12:22 |
| rbasak | Yeah I was about to say spam. | 12:22 |
| tsimonq2 | ^ | 12:23 |
| rbasak | It's a choice. Either require contributors to spend a tiny bit of effort to massively reduce spam volumes, or require project volunteers to be human spam filters. | 12:23 |
| rbasak | Bug trackers would be far less effectively if they were full of spam. | 12:23 |
| cjwatson | (they've left) | 12:23 |
| rbasak | Oh. | 12:24 |
