I have to throw my two cents in here:

I run my own software business and have over 30 years experience developing software. I develop systems for telecoms, railroads and manufacturers and I can tell you that if I started suppressing errors instead of addressing and correcting them I would be out of business tomorrow.

Suppressing errors (hiding, covering up problems) is about the worst thing you can do as a developer. If customers find out you're doing that then they will never trust you again. This type of approach shows a complete lack of desire or ability to fix the underlying problems.

Would you want your plumber or auto mechanic to hide problems from you? Of courses not.

Ask yourself this: When you were first thinking about purchasing vBulletin and you found out that error messages were being suppressed would you still be willing to purchase it?
