How about stop sending me marketing crap when I sign up for something. Much better solution.

My biggest bugbear is actually Atlassian JIRA where when you upgrade/install it, it tells Atlassian to SPAM you so every damn time. You have to then click through to unsubscribe. Even though you just gave them $20,000 in license fees.




I can only recommend getting in contact with Atlassian wrt. your problems. I've contacted them twice about errors on their pages and I've gotten great service both times.

I regularly send out emails when something is amiss, and getting a proper response AND getting the problem fixed is rare. Sadly.


We have contacted Atlassian support many times and they have been great. The real problem is that the defects we raise shouldn't exist. They are just crap engineering problems. The result every time is upgrade which means firing up a new instance to run side by side (resulting in the spamming starting again), an hour long migration and test run because half the time it doesn't work. We have to do it this way due to previous fucked up installs and upgrades by them and actually a 99.9% SLA to keep up.

Big rant I wrote here about Atlassian products for reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6682806

Support great, product shit
