A lot of bugs get either squashed or put on hold for evidence gathering. Meaning they don't get fixed or Dan/Dexter have to check the accuracy of it.
Could we get something in place so that people who don't have a bug to report but 20 minutes of time to spare can look at the posts in the bugs section and pick ones with the "Awaiting Feedback" tag or a new tag for "Testing Required" and gather evidence from OSI that proves or disproves it for a Sov reward too. It would probably have to be a different reward from the bug fix reward as people who proved it's not a bug wouldn't be rewarded if they shared the reward issued when fixed even though they had done the work for it
It would be based on difficulty to reproduce, evidence submitted and severity.
Take for example this https://trueuo.com/index.php?threads/succubus.1557/ if someone was to go on OSI and take a video of a male char and another video a female char and document the result that proved it was right they might get 10 sovs for it and the reporter would get 5 sovs.
This would then push the value into "proving" bugs rather than reporting them. Someone would still report bugs you can't prove as they have no way of proving it without an OSI account as they would still get a reward if it is a bug. But if they posted the same bug + did the proof legwork they would get for example 15 sovs and it would be stated as so in the "awarded" post Dan makes "@user was awarded 5 Sovs for reporting and 10 sovs for proving"
