Server Issues and Limitations

[Belial]

It would be somewhat lame, but I would accept it if they actually came out and said:

"We cannot implement X feature because of various server issues that we cannot discuss due to RMT/security/corporate espionage risks."

But their not even doing that.

And it's not like we are asking for detailed explanations, IP addresses, or blocks of code here. A sentence or two with nouns other than "server" and "issue" would be enough. But they're not even giving us that.

Use your words, SE. We're not kindergarten students or silver-haired grandmothers. If you happen to use a word that we don't understand, we'll Wikipedia it and get the idea.

It could very well be that they are literally not allowed to discuss anything. It's called confidentiality, and even though I agree that yea, even a simple few sentences would prove useful, it could very well be something that just simply isn't allowed due to trade secrets. It's very similar to how certain court cases are handled. Yea, someone could come out and squeek a bit of information without causing any real harm, however they are not allowed to discuss even the most mundane aspects due to confidentiality.

Reminds me of a quote from a book I once read.

Catch-22 states that agents enforcing Catch-22 need not prove that Catch-22 actually contains whatever provision the accused violator is accused of violating.
