Is there a way to suspend play?

I'm wondering if when there is a site wide problem, such as the recent rash of false intercepts, there is a way to temporarily suspend moves until it is fixed to limit the avalanche of bug reports and, occasionally, players becoming frustrated. My suspicion is that it is not but I thought I would throw the idea out there fore people to comment on.

It's not a site wide problem, it's a USE wide problem.
When I post new fix, all tables are running, some fixes are not 100% compatible with old version.
So there is two methods:
- I fix bug fast (every day) and you agree to have little worries like right now
- I fix bug every month (or trimester).
It takes me between 1 and 2 hours a day to fix the bugs and I play only 10-20 minutes.
World will be better without bugs

By site wide I meant that all Unconditional Surrender tables seem to be affected. I was wondering if there was a way to simply halt the tables for a day or two while the bug is fixed systematically rather than 'fire fighting' each incidence as it occurred on the tables.
It is the recent rash of bugs that made me wonder this, but it sounds like that is not actually possible? Or perhaps use the 'breaking news' function to warn players of the potential disruption and where/how to report it. I'm playing on 7 or 8 tables so once I had seen one or two incidences I knew what was going on, but some of my opponents it seems are only playing on a single table and they got very confused and/or frustrated when the bugs hit.
