This discussion isn't about how big or small a bug is but how we handle it in game announcements.

If the result of this discussion is a new agreement/list which is easier to use and understand while taking into account that any host should be forced to interfere or check a game as little as possible (preferable not at all)... splendid!

I concur. We should also keep in mind that the host specifies which bugs/features are allowed and which are not.

Some of the items are tricky to define with enough precision that an effective ban could be enforced. Ideally, the communal list provides details that game hosts can use so that the hosts don't need to define terms from scratch.

For example, if a host wanted to offer a game in which chaff is banned, he would have to define exactly what counts as chaff. The list doesn't help in this regard.

I'm not saying we should presently attempt to define "chaff" sufficiently for hosts that want to ban it. The player community is mostly in agreement that chaff is a reasonable facet of the battle engine, and therefore there is little demand for games that ban chaff.

There is less agreement about mine damage dodge/allocation, however, and therefore I think some clarification of the issue in the standard list would benefit game hosts.

What we need's a few good taters.
