    v8 v9  
    99  * '''No whining about decisions.''' If a respected project contributor has marked a bug as ''invalid'', then it is invalid. Someone filing another duplicate of it does not change this. Unless you have further important evidence, do not post a comment arguing that an ''invalid'' or ''junk'' bug should be reopened.

    11   * '''No pointless comments.''' Unless you have something constructive and helpful to say, do not add a comment to a bug. In bugs where there is a heated debate going on, you should be even more inclined not to add a comment. Unless you have something new to contribute, then the bug owner is aware of all the issues, and will make a judgment as to what to do. Additional "I see this too" or "It works for me" comments are unnecessary unless they are on a different platform or a significantly different build. Constructive and helpful thoughts unrelated to the topic of the bug should go in the appropriate mailing list or website forum.

Unless you have something new to contribute, then the bug owner is aware of all the issues, and will make a judgment as to what to do. Additional "I see this too" or "It works for me" comments are generally unnecessary. Constructive and helpful thoughts unrelated to the topic of the bug should go in the appropriate mailing list or website forum.

    1313  * '''No private email.''' Unless the bug owner or another respected project contributor has asked you to email them with specific information, please place all information relating to bugs in the bug itself. Do not send them by private email; no-one else can read them if you do that, and they'll probably just get ignored.
