When they need OFFICIAL feedback on ideas not just random things popping into their head, sure they'll post on the forums. They've done it before many times. But they also use twitter to toss out possibilities that MIGHT happen in the future or might not. Plus 9 times outta 10 a thread gets posted anyways :P
The developers are not under any obligation from what I know to use the forums as that's pretty much Branflakes job. To take any posts/threads and relay the relevant information to them.
Their twitter accounts are just that. Theirs. They can do as they so please with them and if they wanna see what kind of support they'd have on twitter before announcing anything hard set then they can. Again this is what I think not an official statement of any kind.
Remember - Communication from developers isn't something they're FORCED to do. They do it because they want too. How they want too is up to them
I do feel I need to comment here.
The use of Twitter/Facebook has gone too far. When we have tech problems with the servers, be they game server or login or patch, the answer gets posted on those social media... "things", instead of their very own official game forums.
Why???
Most players use the forums as their main info source, but for certain things they have to leave the safe port that are these forums, when the forums should be the place where all info gets posted...
It's a pita to have to use social media to hunt for info.
It can't be that hard to take the time to also post said info on the forums, instead of having to go hunt for it...
I would even ask for two extra days since they screwed me over even more. I always get the flying high event at the 20h cooldown (even if its really late or early in the morning) and later when i have time i play it, i got it really early today in the hopes of playing it today after i was done with family stuff, and guess what the event was dropped from my list with no chance for me to finish it and even if they fix their stupid mistake i would have to replay it for today and wait another 20h for tomorrow since im short 80 pearls still
YOU SUCK CRYPTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is why they should have made the ship trade-able. I would have gladly traded my corvette on the exchange so that I could get the Jem'hadar ship I've been wanting forever, for my Jem'hadar character . (and no matter how many lock-boxes I dared open, haven't got yet, obviously).
Too late though, I already opened my ship box and the risian corvette, is surprisingly quite a strong little ship.

When there are server issues etc and it's over the weekend when everyones out of the office, the only option can sometimes be their phones because they have twitter set on it :P
They will make a post as soon as they can but sometimes just posting to twitter is all they can do.

hey. i tried doing the event to get the ship too, but i haven't been playing sto long enough to get enough pearls to get the ship. so if you would like, and since i wont be able to get the ship, i can sell you my pearls.
It would be nice if they would keep the Ornithologist available after the event like they did the Epohe breeder after the winter event ,so we can finish up the birds we have going when the event ends.

got that risan corvette yet?
besides you weren't going to use it in the tour of the universe anyway...:P
Considering how clamped down , organized and staggered information release has been since PW took over , I find the above highly dubious .
