This thread will be used to list the glitches that are not allowed to be used in any Glitchless category on both the main and category extensions Slime Rancher leaderboards. If a glitch or exploit is not listed here, it is allowed to be used in Glitchless categories unless otherwise stated. The glitches/exploits listed here can, however, be used in all Glitched categories unless otherwise stated.
Mods will use some amount of discretion when deciding whether to accept glitchless runs in which one or more glitches were used where those glitches were accidental and/or had little to no impact on the run. Though in general, glitchless runs with glitches are denied on the spot.
For a full list of known glitches and exploits, along with detailed explanations of each, see this google doc maintained by community members: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19hqJzg9iNW8tlmLL5kuOnHw70KlrvQgAtkrbwu5JUaw/edit
