Nay.
Some of the people I see in Home act all high and mighty when I see them in the mall, dancing on the rails and levitating over the small lake and not telling people how they can do it. I don't care if I can't do the glitches. I have better things to do than waste my time floating in the air, making people feel bad because I don't want to tell them how to do it.
This isn't an MMORPG where glitching can give the player some sort of advantage. Unless someone finds a glitch that allows them to obtain items for free which are supposed to cost money, I don't think a valid argument can be made that glitching has any tangible effect on anyone aside from those who do it (expense of their time). Perhaps you can argue that when those in the know refuse to tell those not in the know, that those not in the know are affected, but honestly, who cares? Is it a big deal that someone knows how to get behind a bar or onto a rooftop and others don't? Within a week, knowledge of every glitch is disseminated to the greater community anyhow.
People who walk on rails or float in the air are showing off. In my opinion, once you have done it, there is no other reason other than to make yourself look the fool. If I've seen one fool, I 'v seen a thousand others just like them.
Also, if you discover a glitch, it should be reported immediately via a PM to a developer or administrator and not posted on the forums. Especially if the glitch can be exploited for personal gain. An example would be if someone found a way to get all Mall items for free. That would not be fair to the rest of the community and it would cut into the income SCEA needs to pay for Home's development and growth. This would in turn affect us. And, I read the other day that that SCE may include auctions in Home. Will that be affected by the glitch I used as an example?
The bottom line: Glitches should be reported and not posted.

Read the third post. Certain glitches have the potential to become a problem
yeah man I just re-read that post again and Im not exactly sure what you mean. I assumed the example glitch you gave was hypothetical and not a real one. If it is real than I agree with you, but otherwise I cant condemn glitching as long as no harmful ones have been discovered (that affect other users besides the glitching person negatively). A potential glitch like that I would think to be very unlikely; the only real harm I would see is people freezing up their own systems, which I have no problem with
The potential for harm is not enough for me(unless it goes from just possible to probable or likely), as there is potential for harm with everything. But yeah I agree with you that they should not be posted on this forum as I have seen in the past (people trying to justify it saying they want to make the managers aware, but as you said a simple PM will do).
