Data bugs on Lodestone

I'd like to report a couple of bugs. I've actually reported them before to SE Support, but they declined accepting them telling me I should go to forums, but I could not use forums, because I did not have active subscription at the time. Free Login Campaign unblocked me for the time being, so... Reporting them here.

I have a page that tracks a couple of bugs in data on Lodestone. Here are the types:
  1. Characters with no race/clan. There are characters that instead of appropriate race and clan show "----", like IDs 178588, 15515157, 1572874. As far as I know at least some of them stay that way for a very long time, if not indefinitely.
  2. Characters for whom no avatar or standing photo loads, like character IDs 1006111, 1100948, 1013604. Most if not all of them also do not have any job levels.
  3. Groups with no members. Free companies like IDs 9229001536389075027, 9228860798900706687. Linkshells like IDs 4503599627436590, 4503599627430089.
  4. Entities with duplicate names on same server (or data center). Characters like IDs 5356424 and 8211523, or a triplet 5160939 with 5368592 and 5423122. Free companies like IDs 9232942186062939675 and 9232942186063065667, or 9234349560946493524 and 9234349560946578470. Linkshells like IDs 12103423998558942 and 12103423998559769, or 25614222880672208 and 25614222880749210.

These and lots of other bugs can be found on https://www.simbiat.eu/fftracker/statistics/bugs. Some of them may be temporary (for example a character was renamed, tracker was not aware of it, and then another character got renamed and tracker saw that update), and at the moment of writing I actually have a backlog of 234000+ items to process (due to recent misconfiguration), but the above pasted links are showing the mentioned bugs at the time of writing this post (verified that before pasting them).

Would be nice to fix these or, if you have some explanation on why any these are normal, - that's fine by me, too.

I assume that I will be locked out of the forum in some time, since Free Login Campaign ended for me, and I am not fully returning to the game yet. If that's the case and any further comments/clarifications will be required from my side - the tracker has my contacts, so feel free to ping me.

P.S.: Had to use IDs instead URLs to fit the limit.
