D&D 4E Posting 4E Questions for 4E Play-Tests?

[Knight Otu]

I would find a "WotC shills are out there gathering information" plot at least plausible. But a, "Playtesters going out of their way to gather information for which they don't even have a proper submission channel," plot sounds less than reasonable.

And for that, they have/had much better and more reliable channels (such as the recently discontinued Advisory programs for Magic the Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons), I believe. Forum posts aren't exactly the most reliable source of feedback.
