Heyup Matt... Highlighting bad interaction design from the organisation is a fair thing to point out. That said, one of the key traits of a good interaction designer is their ability to explain issues to developers.
Being able to crit someone's work, in a constructive way, is a very important skillset. Leading in to that, its valuable to understand the reasons something might have failed.. the 'projects constraints'. Personally, when I get brought in to fix a mess, I start with questions. It brings people on board. Demonstrates a willingness to understand why a coder created something that you view as a 'bad design', they are human after all. Also, it adds a lot of value to ixda.org/discuss if we can debate bad design instead of just pointing at it. Where do you feel the registration process fails, what would you do to improve it? Do a screengrab and annotate it if the issues are buried in the sign up process. That will certainly get the discussion going kind regards - pauric p.s. the irony of 'complaining' about someone who 'complains' is not lost on me (o; p.p.s. I have nothing to do with the design, I just get a bee in my bonnet when I see designers beat up coders -unless- that designer has the goods to code a better solution themselves. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
