Ban or Not to Ban (please vote)

In hopes to clean the site up in the times of memory requirements - and to perhaps help people remember that they are uploading for people to download not only to get more "points" - I want to pose a question up for everyone to vote on.

Should marp have a system where uploaded .inp files could be banned from leaderboard points because they are:

(1) using techniques from the banned technique list of Angry? (gng, rastan, trackfld)

or

(2) recorded from freebie games that do not require more than a few joystick movements or button presses to get the maximum score? (battlane, dominos, comotion)

or

(3) recorded from games that are known not to playback before a certain mame version? (flipshot, lastbld2, breakers)

By banning from leaderboard points these games could still be uploaded and would still be viewable (perhaps sorted below the lowest non banned score of that game), but they would be excluded from the leaderboard point privaledge. In (1) there is a posted list of games to be considered to ban. With (2)+(3) since there is no list, there would be a vote (like Angry's voting scheme) before they were considered games to ban.
