If something isn't explicitly in the rules for banning behaviour, the only judgement that can be done in in game.
A few months back we had a racer who was racing round Spa with their car in reverse with a paint job that was deliberately offensive, are you saying that, as this isn't specifically mentioned in the rules, they should not be banned?
In fact on the regulation page there are no mentions regarding dive bombing, weaving, rejoining the track or any other racing rules, but we know that these are pro-testable and are ruled with suspensions and bans.
We only know what is protest-able because of arcane knowledge (and trial and error). I've been pretty open with my opinion that the regulation page is lacking quite a bit of details... and your list of obviously protest-able offenses is a great place to start (especially because someone completely new to sim racing might not actually know that you don't play this like Mario Kart).
The Regulations page should also include track limits being protest-able or not. It's really a matter of nailing down what people should be reporting, and then dealing with more (or less) reports. In case you were curious about my opinion, the topic of this thread should be protest-able. I just don't see myself giving enough of a crap to bother filing one about someone tweaking 0.5 seconds a lap unless they do it in a way that directly interferes with my personal race.
If you or anyone else has seen Henrique say on the forums "please write protests up for people who are exploiting shitty track boundaries on various tracks," please link to it.
p.s. Anyone else having issues with creating/editing forum posts? It's like the WYSIWIG editor only shows the top half of the window, and the View Source editor only shows the top line. Yuck.
