From a users viewpoint it would be nice if the prefix showed a clear promotion of the status of the report or request. I think it is better for the posting to slip off the bottom of the list unpromoted than to be rejected by an Administrator unless it is clearly contrary to the rules of the forum. It will only disappear off the bottom if nobody is discussing it.
In the case of bug reports I would propose
1. Reported ( by OP)
2. Supported (by Administrator)
3. Forwarded (to Irfan)
and for Feature requests
1. Requested (by OP)
2. Supported (by Administrator)
3. Forwarded (to Irfan)
IMHO administrators should normally wait a day or two before promoting a post to allow forum members (including themselves) to discuss it first.
I would hope that if the post is forwarded to Irfan and got a response, either positive or negative, from him then the administrator concerned would post information on the thread to provide feedback to those who have contributed. Similarly if it is fixed. It does not really need a new status. We can just read the message.
Administrators must decide between themselves how a report or request is going to be promoted from Supported to Forwarded.
