Following a discussion in the CGi private forums, we have voted to ban the use of LODBias tweaking to values that removes textures from walls/makes ingame text (such as FPS) incomprehensible.
It is a cagey issue and offers negligible advantages and disadvantages that vary from system to system, to keep an even playing field this is now considered illegal, and will now will incur a forfeit loss for use.
Ambient Occlusion is also banned.
