Alright, so from what I've read and how I understand all of this, plus taking into account all votes, it sounds like the best decision is a partial ban for Glitchless.
The rules now read as follows:
Ninja Fight: Skipping the start of Phase 2 monologue ("Hand to hand") is BANNED, but throwing Ninja during the fight to extend a phase is ALLOWED
If anybody has any questions, feel free to message a moderator. This topic is now closed and will be locked.
Any ideas for tweaking current levels or adding new levels, categories, etc. post in this thread for discussion.
Not a glitch. Trom's post is dead on.

Yeah this board will be a work in progress for sure. Definitely would be open to something like that.
Looking to make a category extension board for MGS1 VR and MGS2 VR.
The following spreadsheet shows ideas for levels and categories. Green is added, black is not added (should be obvious) along with some notes.
Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MxzImWi1hUDjuUIolX-gYRKUgXxW3AfM2ydCFQu7z7o/edit?usp=sharing
If anybody has any ideas on other categories, changes, etc., post them here. I am looking to get these boards up sometime this or next month.

Voting has now ended. The results are:
Turbo: 12 yes, 1 no (passed) RNG: 5 yes. 6 no (failed)
Thank you all for voting. I'll make a quick news post when I can and update the rules. This thread is now locked and will be deleted eventually.
Just two days left to cast your vote or state your opinions on this topic.
Current vote is at: Turbo: 12 yes, 1 no RNG: 5 yes, 6 no
Should a vote end in a tie, it will be considered a no, as might be the case with RNG. Turbo looks fairly clear.

We have approved RPCS3. This will be locked and eventually deleted.
If we did anything it would be just make it so emulator runs are not hidden by default. I do not think it would warrant a separate category. Especially since every other console is lumped into one category as it sits and RPCS3 is not faster than Xbox Series at the moment.
I have adjusted the vote due to young_sn0w removing his vote. If you wish to change or remove your vote just post again. I may miss post edits.
Appreciate all the votes and feedback thus far. I have updated the main post but it currently sits at:
Turbo: 12 yes, 1 no RNG: 5 yes, 6 no
Keep them coming!
Not a whole lot really. Post an idea, then more importantly do a run and it may be added.
If it changed other elements of the game it would have been separated long ago. Zero point to do this.
It's a topic that has been brought up in the past. Other than the fact you mash through torture sections, which is a fixed time, it changes nothing else about the game later on. There is no point from that aspect to separate categories.
Save states for RNG levels would be the listed levels only in an IL setting. Never in a full game run.
