Banned in both "Glitch-Restricted" and "No Major Glitches":

A1: using the map key (unless standing or walking on the ground, not during landing animations or sliding)

A2: strafing in the air¹

A3: attacking or blocking while falling (it is ok during a small jump towards an enemy that would not yield falling damage or a landing animation)¹

A4: drawing a weapon to get past guards (guards = people that warn you multiple times and then attack you)

A5: clipping through walls²

A6: animal transformation through walls

A7: retaining or duplicating consumable items (accidentally retained or duplicated items must not be used or sold (unless your total trade value is high enough either way))

A8: going out of bounds

A9: catapult glitch

A10: using the inventory during dialogues to keep an item that should be removed

A11: loading during a dialogue

A12: picking up items from a distance with a spell (by putting the spell away but keeping the item in focus)

A13: drawing a weapon to instantly kill a burning NPC

A14: using an object (like a switch or ore mound) through a wall

A15: strafing on slopes¹

A16: transferring a magic effect from one spell to another

A17: animal transformation in the air to avoid falling damage (transforming while jumping on even ground for faster movement is allowed, transforming back in the air as an animal that doesn't take falling damage (bloodfly) is also allowed)

A18: charging a chargable spell, interrupting it by strafing and then quickly throwing the fully charged spell at an enemy

A19: Moving inside dialogues to avoid enemies or other dialogues (It is okay if a dialogue such as Buster's Acrobatics teaching cannot be skipped to reduce the time loss but not in any other circumstance.)

A20: transforming back after death

A21: manipulating AI by holding strafe while falling

A22: (Demo only) running off an edge without falling

¹does not apply to bloodfly transformation

²Partially clipping through small objects such as fences is ok und unavoidable. But any gap in a solid wall that is smaller than the player model is not ok to clip through even if it is easy to do so. Some gates look like they are composed of bars with gaps inbetween them that a meatbug could pass through. But they are in fact solid objects with a partially transparent texture. Going through such a gate as a meatbug violates this rule.

Clarification for map key use:

Any use of the map key is banned in Glitch-Restricted.

In No Major Glitches you can use the map key while standing or walking on the ground to put away weapons more quickly. You may not press the map button while in the air, while in a jumping animation, while sliding or while in a landing animation.

Refer to this Youtube video to see what is meant by each point:

---

There is leniency when an accidental glitch obviously didn't help.

---

You can undo a glitch that happened by loading a previous save. This also means you can hold M and press Esc to get up the menu and load a save while you are falling for example.
