Blizzard ALLOWS GD to be an open ended free for all mish mash and pile of whatever threads folks want to open and sure they can complain all they want. But those forums are owned by Blizzard. So it is their responsibility to manage and maintain them. Whatever goes on there in terms of what they allow and don't allow is completely on them. Sure, maybe they don't have the staff or resources to constantly monitor all these forums but given that most of the threads and posts seem to be from the same relatively few folks, it really shouldn't be that hard to manage.
But beta forums aren't GD. I mean even a courtesy comment or two on the goals and intentions of x feature and the things to look for in upcoming patches in beta would be nice. Followed by the courtesy comments of good feedback, we thought of that but this is what we want to do. Or even, just the basic, well given our priorities and the timeline of launch we can't really do x, y, z, but we will definitely make note of your concerns.... Not to mention 'thanks for the feed back, we are coming close to wrapping up the dev of this feature and we appreciate all your comments and suggestions'. Come on now this isn't rocket science.
