Cheats and other Categories

So, diabetesNINJA brought up a good point about Cheats. There're some which can unlock every Mission. Therefore, you're able to do Missions completely NG (Without any previous stuff Unlocked). This raises two Questions tho.

First one regarding the Cheats. I don't have any personal Problem with them as long as they don't give you an advantage or allow other game-breaking stuff. Since that is certainly not the case for unlocking Levels, that should be all right imo. But, as we're already here talking about it, what about Cheats such as the one which makes all Enemies Headless or the Discomode? I think Discomode would be a quite fun addition, but I haven't played it enough to see if it makes a significant difference. If not, what would you think about allowing it in a normal run? Or should it be an own Category (misc)?

And now that we're talking about Categories! Currently they are set up a little weird (yea, dunno why I did that), so I thought about changing the difficulty back to normal Variables which do not interfere with the main Category. Which means, all difficulties will be in the same List. However, I'd put in a NG/NG+ (sort of?) Sub-Category in, which devides it between a run which was done from a new save file (and therefore without any previous enhancements like weapons, shields, etc) and a NG+ for everything else.

Therefore, in a full RTA run, Hope Street would be the only valid NG IL which can be submitted as such. ILs of others can only be done with the cheatcode mentioned earlier or have to be submitted as NG+ (since they may have upgrades unlocked from the previous levels).

So these we're my initial thoughts, what do you guys think about it?

I don't want to make suggestions that will only make someone else work harder, but time permitting I would submit to a NG+ category to justify it's existence. Also, I do want to lobby for the use of the Terror Mode cheat to allow for a NG run on this difficulty. Though I am not sure the community would grow any based on these expansions, you never know when a record being mentioned will inspire more participation.
