...it looks like there hasn't been a problem with it previously, but how do other people feel about it? Personally, I'm torn; yeah, we should be documenting as much as possible, and yeah, it is relevant, but we shouldn't be providing potential 'sploiters with ammo for their arsenal. I dunno.

:I've always wondered why there were step-by-step tidbits on how to perform these exploits, or mention unpatched exploits. Civilian I'm fine with but others just don't need to be revealed for information's sake. Same for glitches/bugs. --[[User:Vaught|Vaught]] 01:39, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::I'm not sure we should be documenting how to do perform the exploits until they are fixed, but I don't see why they shouldn't at least be reported here. Usually the server owners report the bugs quickly to Valve and anything of a significantly game-changing nature is usually fixed within a few days, so harm would be kept to a minimum. Also, anything written here will have likely already done its tour on SPUF, so I doubt we could spread any information as quickly as they can. -- [[Image:User Alex2539 Sig.png|link=User:Alex2539]] -- 02:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

A lot of the current listed exploits are ''completely'' new to me, and I have never seen them referenced anywhere. I think I could easily remove half the currently-listed exploits, because there's no documentation to back them up, and I've never seen them anywhere. What do we do? I'm itching to re-write this thing. ~ <code>[[User:Lhavelund|<font color=red><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">'''lhavelund'''</span></font>]]</code> <sup>([[User_talk:lhavelund|talk]] ▪ [[Special:Contributions/lhavelund|contrib]])</sup> 03:06, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Keep this page?

It seems kind of weird to have a whole page documenting unintended ways to gain advantages, now that it's explicitly not allowed under the Bugs guidelines. I suggest we either delete this page (as many of these seem very outdated) or merge it with Glitches to form one "Bugs" page. I'm not in favour of this, though, as each page has a bugs section and all bugs should be there instead.
