I thought connect was the official way to complain about MS things?

Technically...

- connect is for filing bugs

- uservoice is for "ideas and suggestions"

How people use it, of course, is a completely different story...

And then some teams (like us) have public issue trackers, which are the best approach if available because everything goes directly to the team: https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic

Ah I see. Yes I put a powershell bug/missing feature request on connect and looked through some other tickets. I don't envy whose reading that.

I think Ms is doomed to get people complaining about unrelated junk any time they open a platform up.

Any ideas for how a problem like that can be solved? User feedback on a closed-source project at massive scale?

I don't know. I guess you've just got to vet credentials? To avoid having a team to man the identity service perhaps;

If you need developer feedback maybe require the UX to be creating Pull requests describing the issue? Kind of like how pullup.io works?
