OK, I smell a consensus on the issues of confirmation (bugs need to be confirmed) and hiding (they should never be hidden, regardless of how large). However, that leaves the editor of a page in a bind, because should he or she delete a bug just because he or she doesn't see it? And what about the bugs that are on platforms other than what the editor uses? I play Skyrim on a PS3, so the only thing I think I can do with, say, XBOX bug reports is fix grammar - I can't ever delete them because I don't play on XBOX.

Even if I do find a bug report for PS3 that I don't see on my own system, should I delete it? Most bug reports start with, "Sometimes..." because they are intermittent, or else they depend on other circumstances. Should the editor look in the talk page to see if there was discussion of the bug, and if there is none (or only one report), then the bug be deleted?
