If there is a "right place" to report bugs (the bug list thread), why not lock the section from making a new thread there to avoid people reporting in wrong place?

New threads can be useful for discussion and verification of bugs. If you're sure it's a bug and has been verified, then it goes into the main thread where discussion shouldn't happen.
OK I get it. But what is happening now is that step 2 is seldom done to make these bug reports into main thread.
So what do we do to ensure we don't miss any bug reports?
I was thinking some kind of automatic link thing if possible so we'll have less chance to miss anything and of course it will be easier for you and danae ;) Thanks for the hard working and I will help to alert you guys with bugs you missed. (But this is not the perfect system to me still.)
Well for me, I don't have as much time to spend on the forum as I used to so I pretty much focus on the bug list thread when I can. Other bug threads could get buried before I get a chance to see them. Best way to get it noticed is to simply leave a link of the thread in the bug list so that it can get added to the list.
