Formalising a ban on an instance of New Game+

New Game+ is a term used to describe when a new game is started but is altered in a way so that it is no longer a 'vanilla' new game. An example of this is with Banjo Kazooie speedruns where runners perform a glitch so they start a new game with all the abilities and don't need to waste time learning them.

A little known and a little used glitch can be done in GTA V that should be considered New Game+. Through some shenanigans, you can start a new game and have the entire map cleared rather than it being shrouded in fog as would normally be the case. I believe it is used in the all letters category WR currently.

I believe this technique should be formally banned and added to the rules of all categories. Any runs that previously used this will still be considered valid.

Please vote: 1 for ban. 2 for don't ban. 3 for other and give a different suggestion.

Changes to the rules have now been made to reflect the consensus. It is now banned.
