This is the most stupidious thing i ever heard of...

As it should be! Does Twin Galaxies disallow stuff? I assumed that anything allowed "in-game" would be allowed, period (including stuff like exploiting known "bugs" etc.).

From what I recall in King of Kong (all necessary disclaimers about the accuracy of this source apply), it does appear that they do occasionally disallow stuff. I believe I remember them discussing the abuse of jumping or something in a game (I believe it involved a kangaroo) to run up the score.

yeah I'm pretty sure they look down on farming too much when you're playing for high score.

That is a bit silly. When else would you be farming points? Where do they draw the line on what is "farming" and what isn't (I mean at the extremes and after a certain point is obvious, but until you get to that point there will be some undefined border).

Do they at least have that kind of stuff explicitly stated in the rules for the given game, or would someone farm, get a nice score, submit and then they decide "Nah, you farmed"? That would be total BS.

They do have specific rules per game.

Super Mario Bros., for instance. You're not allowed to use the koopa on the stairs trick at all. If you do that, even by "accident" (I'm not sure how that would happen) you're attempt is disqualified.

At the same time, you can't interact with any given koopa more than something like 4 times.

They're pretty particular about it.
