Avoid Message Suppression

Suppressing messages may be an acceptable implementation strategy particularly during the testing stages. It is recommended, however, that you avoid message or violation suppression if possible. User messages and violations are often an important debugging tool when you are trying to resolve user problems. If you find that you must suppress messages, you may cautiously choose the messages or violations that you are going to suppress. Communicate to any person who handles security problems that users may not be receiving the selected messages or violations.
