I'm almost certain the staff do know about it, after all, lots of people have brought it up before! Maybe you could just ask for updates...and nicely. People like to help others even more if they're less abrasive.
@twillight2 I'm confused by the good cause here. Or the violation of user terms, could you please clarify? Right now we are having some issues on the site that's causing some very odd bugs, so I'm going to guess this is related - and once we fix those bugs it will be gone.
