Basically it's the same as what I have posted here :
Forum Chat #Part 2. But now they have updated on Zynga Customer Support page.
Here you go :
Developer's Section Q&A 2/4/2010

Every week or so, our developers answer common questions from players about Mafia Wars.
If you would like to submit a question for the Mafia Wars team, please find the relevant thread here - http://forums.zynga.com/forumdisplay.php?f=350
Here's a recap of the questions that were answered on February 4th - http://forums.zynga.com/showthread.php?t=903847

-You need to access the mobile version of the game, either from your phone, or go to m.mafiawars.com on the web |

-For system stability reasons, we are not planning on increasing this limit. |

-It depends on which. We feel like the Italy property drops were a bit too tight, and the next city will be a little easier. We introduced some new high end loot drops for Italy 6-7-8, we are monitoring how many of those people are accumulating, and will raise (or lower!) the drop rates as needed. |

-Believe it or not, we aggressively go after every bug that we know of, and are constantly monitoring or CS tickets to generate new bugs. In fact, over 20% of every single devs time is dedicated to working on bugs. At the same time, we want to keep introducing new content and new features to keep the game fresh and exciting. |

-Probably not. At least not without severe limits on how many you could give/receive per day. It is too easy to exploit this gift and level up at an unacceptably high rate with these boosts. |

We will take your question to the mobile team as well as Customer Support and work to get more attention to the issue you have raised here.
Thank you for bringing up this topic.

MySpace has been an issue at Zynga for months. We are finally in the process of resolving this question and our primary concern is to take care of the passionate users who have been playing MW for years. Expect clarification and action within the next 2 weeks. |

ANSWER: We are looking at ways of getting more people on the fightlists, including people that may of stopped playing showing up from time to time (when their health has fully regenned). We recognize that the rate at which people become iced on the lists is unnacceptably high right now. |

Originally Posted by Blue Eyed Nate Will there ever be a notification informing us when operations are complete?
ANSWER: We are taking a look at retuning how operations work. Currently, they drop way too often, and there are just too many unfinished operations out there. We want to make them more rare, and feel more special when you get one, and make it more likely for them to get completed. Also, we are looking at ways of allowing you to help on "friends of firends" operations. finally, if we do make them more rare, we would naturally look at giving them better loot as well. Basically, we like the feature, but some of the tuning is just a bit off. |

Originally Posted by Blue Eyed Nate Do you feel the pop-ups are getting out of control?
100% yes. The first thing we're doing is removing unneccessary pop-ups in the game. The second thing is to give you control over the information so you can decide what you want to see or not see. We're currently looking the best way to give you this control but the bottom line is that we recognize pop ups are a problem we intend to fix this. We will be looking for feedback in the near future. |

Flash code will continue to be used in the game but is not used as much as players believe it is currently. We are working towards more HTML 5 code but timelines for this are futuristic.
For those of you having trouble with Flash, we have reports from our community that some browsers work better with Flash than others due to how memory is stored within the browser cache. Some browsers do not store any memory and are said to perform better. It might be worth switching up your browser if you are experiencing lag or performance issues.
There are multiple software and hardware systems at play with each game session. Sometimes the solution is to try to find what combination works best for you and your computer and sometimes just like real world traffic you just need to wait out the jam...

Originally Posted by Blue Eyed Nate Is it possible to implement a slot machine that is random, but not rigged?
ANSWER: I hate to be the one to say this, but in a very real sense ALL slot machines are rigged. They are programmed to give away a certain % of the money they take in (generally 75%-95% of their take). This % is distributed into small and large payouts. The thing is, you never know when a particular pull is going to result in a jackpot so they seem random, and in fact they are random over a small sample size. |

Do you plan to listen and end these no-fun events?
A: We've heard you and share your concerns around "spammy" events. We are always looking for ways for you to have fun playing with friends and earn the coolest loot. We're working on creating the types of events you've told us you want and we're also looking at ways to keep them fresh and put them in the game at the right times. We need more feedback from you! The events should be fun, cool, and contain great rewards to make it less spammy. |

ANSWER: Are you refering to the job secret stashes, or the fighting ones? And what bug is it exactly? |

ANSWER: We maintain a matrix of in-game punishments for players caught participating in exploits, and we take these actions very seriously. Our response to any violation is dependent on the severity of the infraction, and any previous violations of our ToS that a player has had. Our tools continue to evolve in their sophistication and ability to track player behavior. We do believe in giving every player an appropriate warning the first time they are caught, but those who are caught a second time do not receive the same leniency. |
Thanks for dropping by!
