News post out about this.

In the future when making bug reports, please approach it with the assumption that something has gone wrong, not that someone is tampering or trying to make your experience worse. The site is old, and any update on the backend can cause rippling problems. For example in this case, in some of the oldest untouched database tables on the site. It's frustrating for me to chase down the issue, it's double frustrating to come to a thread that starts with the assumption that I've fucked something up.
