What’s the protocol for reporting abusable bugs?
Like, ones that maybe shouldn’t just go up on meta as public knowledge?

@Feeds This is the correct solution to 0.0 problem. Point 0 repeating.

I wouldn’t call it a security issue. Just an abusable site mechanics problem.
user302202
You can still use the form they point to, and call it "Abusable bug" instead of "Security issue".
Worst case, they will reply telling you to post on meta.

Can you describe, without giving away how to do it, what it would allow a user to do?

@Feeds Better text for the last panel: "Listen, if you need a calculator to find 20% of 55,000, we have to withdraw our offer".

@RyanM I can unilaterally delete negative scoring posts without being a moderator.

@ThomasMarkov I've been up all night but I've seen lots of 'bugs' that were not bugs.
If its a problem with site mechanics - meta. If its something broken and generally abusable use the contact link

@JourneymanGeek Pretty sure I shouldn't be able to delete other users' posts by myself :P
I submitted a report through the contact form.
@JourneymanGeek You mind deleting those messages to erase the evidence the bug exists?
