Bugs
Bugs are only worth listing if they are repeatable. If you can recreate the bug by recreating the same circumstances, then you have something. From the wording of your report, it is clear this is not the case. Bugs that are easily fixed by re-entering an area or by reloading a save are also not worth listing.--Gothemasticator 23:38, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Games are complicated pieces of software. Every game will glitch once in a while for some user on some particular system. Doesn't mean there's a bug. That's one reason we don't bother to report unrepeatable events. Another thing is that there are some issues, like crashing, that are a general problem, but can't be nailed down to particular circumstances. So, it becomes unhelpful in that case to actually try to list all the game-circumstances under which crashing occurred - because it's irrelevant. It's much better in that case to just say the game crashes pretty often for most users.

One more thing to consider is the purpose behind listing bugs. The only purpose is to help another user avoid or at least be warned about a potential problem. Mainly, really, ideally, this would mean we only post bugs that
 * break a quest
 * make an item unobtainable
 * make a location unreachable
 * are repeatable consistently under the same circumstances

Almost anything else is just gamers trying to be very specific about things that aren't actually relevant to anyone.--Gothemasticator 00:02, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you can't tell, I'm trying to formulate a bugs policy that will help editors and bug-experiencers alike figure out what is worth posting and what isn't. I'm not quite there yet.--Gothemasticator 00:02, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
