This [question][1] asked about how to do item duplication in Minecraft, which on most servers would probably be considered cheating.  But is a blanket ban on all exploits in multiplayer games appropriate?

Consider [skiing in Tribes][2] for example.  It was pretty clearly an exploit not intended by the developers, but it became so popular that the sequel was designed around it.

Contrast it with whatever you call [this glitch][3] in TF2, in which a player can hit people with a flamethrower from across the map.

Where is the dividing line between an acceptable exploit and an unacceptable exploit?
