I would say terraforming is fine, building farms or mines is not.

Terraforming around a city is fine of course, but I mean terraforming the future city tile itself. Say terraforming a plains or grassland to forest before you settle on it.

I haven't used it in either of my games though because I wasn't sure.

ok, so basically you get a production bonus "under" the city?

I wouldnt have a problem with it

We used to ban this also in CtP2 MP, but what do you think?

There has been some recent discussion about what is considered "cheating" in PBEM. I added a few primary examples to the opening post. I think most all of you know these already, but here they are...

... Excerpt from the Opening Post

Rule 4

4. There is no cheating or bug exploits allowed in CTP PBEM Challenges. Anyone caught cheating will be permanently banned from the CTP PBEM Challenge Ladder.

Cheating in PBEM includes (but is not limited to):
a) Opening any of your opponents turns before the game ends.
b) Replaying any turn.
c) Using the "rush buy - then switch queue" bug exploit.
