So even if it wasn't directly reported to the GMs 4 months ago, it was posted on a very popular fansite and wasn't really noticed until a few days ago when a repost brought it to more people's attention. (I do have a friend in Discord claiming that he tried to mention it to SE, through a Twitter DM, Facebook DM, and in-game, but never got a response..)
And that thread (currently) only has 15 upvotes and 21 comments which sounds to me like it wasn't widely reported. I never knew about this until it blew up early this week. If you're willing to try and tell it to SE through twitter DMs, Facebook DMs, and in-game GM reports, why not the forums? Or even take it to General Discussion like most tend to do or even ask? There's obviously been some screw ups in getting the information back to the dev team, someone or some persons are in some trouble.

They removed the report that was made this week. When I tried looking, I didn't see one made earlier.
