    Some discussion on that here if you haven’t read it. 2 years old though. Some new conversation is always good

    Quoted from epthegeek:

    If you don't like people sliding your games, put something on the feet that makes them hard to move - like rubber feet.
    The idea that sliding a game is somehow damaging is preposterous.

    I tend to agree that there isn’t any damage that would occur during a slide save unless the game hits something or it doesn’t slide.
    If you have the game on carpet or rubber feet hard nudging might’ve slid the game on concrete, but now all that force is transferred to the corners of the machine.

    Quoted from razorsedge:

    To me it is in exactly the same category as lifting the front of the game so that the ball rolls up playfield.

    Having a tilt bob is important. It will keep all of this from happening.
    Stopping players from sliding or lifting a game with a tilt is easier than trying to make everyone agree that sliding a game is cheating
