while on achaea, I spotted a (very) trivial little thing and bugged it. Then logging on today, I had the following message:
While a very minor thing, this would let people know that when they bug something, it has been taken into account and will be worked on, and potentially solve a lot of problems people have with the feeling that often enough nothing seems to happen with bugs.
edit: And then later, this:

Your bug report (detail:Â Â you can wear the artifact top hat and other hats at the same time) - has been removed because it is not a bug (usually meaning that this is the way things are intended to be). Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience or misunderstanding that may be involved. The following notes were included: By design, so you can wear other "headwear" items while wearing an artefact tophat..

That would have been helpful for me especially when bards could not get out of pits. I would wait 1 week after bugging it, and test it to see if it had been fixed, wait another week... so on. I thought it would never get fixed, and that response would have been great. I wouldnt have had to potentialy abuse a bug to find out if it had been fixed.

Yeah, that would be really nice.

Good idea. I've personally found that if you issue asking if something is a bug or not, they get to it faster or at least it ensures that it is noticed because issues are taken more seriously. Unfortunately that encourages us to load them with issues which I try to refrain from.

Wow, nice. I'd love that here.

Specifically the second part. I know the Divine would hate the extra work, but I seriously think this kind of thing is important enough to be worth the cost in time.

The Shiribot agrees as does the Forrenator and the Nexrellan.... I say lets make it so!!!! 
edit- damn I almost forgot the Acrunophile does too!!!

careful, Thedinsoaur might have to visit Magnagora next!

It looks like a fairly stock message anyway, so it probably wouldn't be as much work for the admins as filtering through multitudes of the same bug over and over again would be.
DO IT!
DO IT!

This really would be nice to have. I can't count the times that I've bugged something and never knew if it was even looked at, or if I should bug it again, if they thought that they've fixed it, if it was in the process of being fixed, or whatever. Also, there have been points where not knowing if something was a bug or a ninja change has slowed down the envoy process, because we weren't sure if we should balance things around how things are at the moment or around how things were before the change.
