We use an in-MOO bug system to handle bugs. You can submit a bug with @bug and view public bugs with @bugs
IS SOMETHING A BUG?
When encountering anomalous behavior on the game, it can be unclear if what was experienced was a bug, and if it should be bugged. This is especially confusing with the game's often masked difficulty checks and mechanics.
Traditionally, you can be sure something is a bug if: - It produces a traceback - It produces no messaging at all - Your character is no longer able to act
If what you're encountering doesn't fit one of these categories but you still might think it's a bug, you have several methods for clarification. - Use the xgame channel to see if something is a known bug - Ask on xhelp for clarification (this may have a long wait)
If what you're encountering is a messaging issue, bad description, a missing help file, or things in that vein, it is a @typo, not a @bug. Filing a @bug that is one of these things will just result in the @bug being closed.
FILING A BUG
Capturing a bug after a traceback should be done as soon as possible, and should have a report that is equally detailed. For filing severity and details, refer to these bgbb posts:

You can review bugs you have reported in game with '@bugs mine'. You can add new information to a public bug by finding the bug of concern with @bugs and adding a comment to it using @vb . Do not submit new bugs for the purpose of updating or adding to an existing bug report.
