>After spending an hour of time writing the perfect bug report a couple of times, and each time receiving no reward (= fix), Something that may be happening in that case is that the demand for making the bug report high quality is not sincere, but is just meant to kill it by filibuster. The developers won't fix the bug regardless, but by making it easy to say "you didn't follow all these steps in submitting the bug", they can put the blame on the user rather than just admitting they won't fix it.
