yes, it's wrong to use open forums to ask inconvenient questions. Inconvenient questions should be reserved for times where Frontier has taken necessary precautions to avoid or ignore those questions.
I'm sure there are enough forum rules on the books to ban/moderate anyone on this forum for any reason and any time.
it's also not fair to those of us who paid for the game and would like to play. I guess if Frontier wants to ignore the dumpster fire and concentrate instead of the pretty new color they painted the dumpster, we should respect that.
Maybe if they put all the fluff on hold and put on an "all hands" effort to deal with the disaster at hand, we'd take them seriously.
Off-topic discussions are off-topic; it's polite to stay on-topic. Nagging for bugfixing during a livestream about voice acting is kinda foolish, more probably rude.
Providing feedback via the appropriate means is essential for obtaining developer attention. There is currently a hot topic thread garning much attention. Meanwhile, the suggestions subforum or is also suitable, as are Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc - whichever you feel most comfortable using.
If there's one thing I learned from groups like SDC, it's that these kinds of tactics are the ONLY way to get noticed and get problems addressed by FDev.
Or lordy, you looked to SDC to learn something? Hahaha!
I didn't have the boredom to watch it - did they make mention of the recent issues?
Nope. Tonight's livestream was about voice acting for Elite Dangerous. Handily, FDev communicated that to us twice in these advance tweets:

And on the forums too:
Discovery Scanner 7 - Voices of the Void In this episode of Discovery Scanner, we'll be joined by the fantastically talented voice actors, Jay Britton and Amelia Tyler to discuss the role voice acting plays in the games industry! We'll also be joined by our very own Senior Sound Designer, Paola...

Us kind Redditors also informed our 175k subscribers via two posts too.
To avoid feeling misinformed in future, I recommend following the official announcements subforum (especially the livestream thread), Twitter, or unofficial Reddit o7
