To try and wrench this thread back to its intended purpose, I have the following rules proposal. I propose these only as standard rules; if somebody wants to play by MA's preferred rules, they can. The point of this list is not to constrain, but to simplify: the use of this list means you only have to list the differences between a game's proposed rules and the list rather than listing the full set of bans.

(I've taken the liberty of giving actual prescribed rules surrounding these bugs - please review these rules and tell me if there's any mistakes I made or if I missed something.)

Without further ado:

Stars! AutoHost standard rules (proposed)

Permissible race designs
- Races with the primary racial trait "Claim Adjuster" must take immunity to at least two environmental variables.
- Races with the primary racial trait "Jack of All Trades" must not take the lesser racial trait "No Advanced Scanners".
- In games not using the game option "Accelerated BBS Start", races with the primary racial trait "Hyper-Expansion" must take a listed colonist growth rate of 10% or less.

Chaff - Permitted
- You may use large numbers of weak ships to draw missile fire.

Split fleet dodge - Permitted
- You may subdivide a fleet, and redirect the subfleets to different waypoints, even if the fleet is under pursuit.

Repair after gating - Permitted
- You may give a fleet orders to move at warp "Use Stargate" with the waypoint task "Merge into Fleet".

False Public Player Scores - Permitted
- You may use the waypoint-1 task "Load Colonists" and the waypoint-0 task "Unload Colonists".

Warp 10.04 - Permitted
- You may set waypoints in such a manner that a ship travels more distance than the listed maximum of its warp number.

Improved Starbases trumps Interstellar Traveller gate-scanning - Permitted
- You may take the lesser racial trait "Improved Starbases".

Exploding minefield dodge - Banned with exceptions
- If your race has the primary racial trait "Space Demolition", you should not move ships with the "Mini Mine Layer" or "Super Mine Layer" hulls to a location that you know to be in a) one of your exploding Standard minefields and also in b) a Standard minefield of an opposing "Space Demolition" race with a higher player number than your own. If you believe you have a valid reason to give such an order, contact the game's host; their decision is final.

North-South minefield immunity - Banned with exceptions
- You may not set consecutive waypoints directly North or South of each other, unless both waypoints are at planets.

Battle board overload - Soft-banned
- If a token under your control is excluded from a battle due to the 256-token limit, you must immediately scrap the fleet containing that token.

Ultimate Recycling/Cheap Engines scrapping - Banned
- You may not scrap ships for more minerals or resources than it cost to build them.

0.2% minimum damage - Banned
- You may not assemble a collection of fleets at a single location that is capable of firing more than 100 torpedo/missile salvos per round of battle.

Cheap starbase - Banned
- You may not edit a starbase design while instances of that design are in any of your planets' production queues.

Mineral upload - Banned
- You may not upload minerals from a planet to another player's fleet without their consent. You may not consent to an upload of minerals to your fleet that is greater than that fleet's cargo capacity.

Target list overload - Banned
- You may not have more than 100 fleets in the same location. If you send 101 or more fleets to the same location, you must give "Merge into Fleet" orders such that there will be 100 or fewer fleets in that location at the end of the turn.

Space Dock Armour slot buffer overflow - Banned
- If you have the lesser racial traits "Regenerating Shields" and "Improved Starbases", you may not design any starbase base ...
