I thought the info was too scattered through a cluster of threads not really accessible for the casual forum browser, so i thought, why not put most of it in one huge thread instead!
If you have any missing information you want me to add please do tell, or any missing Title you want me to add. Also if you have remarks on my writing i'd be more then glad to get your help to refine my writing skills and detect errors in my post.

Please note that i only post these exploits so that garry can know about it and fix them asap.
Barricade Stair
Place a barricade on top of a pillar in an angled fashion so you can walk on it, then place a new pillar on top of the old one. rinse and repeat.
Example: Barricade Stair
Propblock Disconnecting
Propblock Disconnecting is a way to place items inside / on top of players to make them disconnect, there are several ways to do this.
Propblock with a barricade; place a barricade inside a person to make him disconnect and when he tries to log back in he will be disconnected.
Propblock with a Large wooden stash; place a large wooden stash on top of a sleeping player covering the whole body. When he later tries to join the server, he will be disconnected.
Alt+Tab door glitch
Alt+Tab from the game, when tabbing back in any door that has been opened while you remained alt+tabbed will remain open for you. this has different success on different servers, on some you are able to walk and shoot through the doors, and on some once you try to walk through the door or shoot it disconnects you, you can however still see through the door without any problem on every server. ( the cause for why this exploit reacts differently on different servers have yet not been discovered ) Caution, don't stay out too long or the chat flood that updates once you come back may crash your game.
Researching Research Kits
If you hold down shift and drag a Research kit onto another one you are able to craft new Research kits in your crafting menu, crafting these kits cost 20 leather and 20 low quality metal, when crafting it you get a random amount of research kits, 1 to 3 in a stack.
Dumb AI exploit
If you stand behind a woodpile bears will stop and give up chasing you.
If you stand on top of a woodpile not too close to the edge, bears will stop and you can safetly attack them untill they run away.
Server Restart Dupe
If you move an item from a box to your character right before a restart, once the server starts again you will have the item in your inventory and in the box, therefore successfully duping an item and or several items. this is caused by the server and your player inventory saving at different times before the server shuts down.
Reconnect to heal yourself
Once you break your legs you can reconnect to come back in game with fixed bones.
Reconnecting can also have the effect to stop bleeding and even prevent death if done at the dieing moment. ( varied results )
Rock Bases
The ability to build bases inside of rocks. you're able to do this on certain rocks where you can manage to get a sleeping bag inside a rock and respawn inside it.
One of many videos showing the Rock base tricks; Rock Base Video
Locations of places where this can be done would be a nice addition from the forum, coordinates would be greatly appreciated.
Ramp Stacking + Ramp Base
If you place down a ramp, you are able to place more ramps inside of it, creating a shell of ramps that can withstand insane amounts of firepower or c4 blasts if you for example place 10-100 ramps inside one, it will take a loooong time before anyone are able to break through.
Ramp base
If you place down a ramp on top of someone or yourself you are able to shoot out of it without people being able to shoot inside, you can also walk out of the ramp or jump out. ( can be used very effective in firefights ) if you place down a sleeping bag and some boxes and a workbench or whatever you want inside your ramp on the foundation, and then place a ramp on top, you can suicide and spawn inside the ramp, your very own inpenetrable base, except that people can destroy it rather quickly if you don't ramp stack. ( you can take things from your bag from on top of the ramp or the sides of it once inside. Also, you cannot place anything inside the ramp once it's placed down, so be sure to place the boxes and sleeping bag first )
Foundation Base
Place down a sleeping bag on the ground, add a couple of boxes and whatever you want in your 1x1 inpenetrable base. then build a foundation over it, make sure the foundation is tall enough so you can stand inside and access all your things. you can also use this as a indestroyable sleeping bag mechanism, place down a sleeping bag and place your foundation on top of it close to the ground and you will always spawn inside your base on top of the foundation without any raiders being able to destroy your sleeping bag or take over your house since you always have a spawn inside.
Super Jump
Large Wood Storage jump
strafe left and right while alternating A and D. (hard to get to work)
Example video: Large Wood Storage Jump
Wooden Gate Jump
Run into the corner of the gate jump and open the gate
Example video: Wooden Gate Jump
Side Spikes
If you look at the middle of 2 pillars, after some moving around trying to find the right spot, you are able to place wooden spike walls on the side of pillars, this creates bridges that can go through anyones pillar defences, rendering them useless.
Example video: 2:00 Side Spikes
Holding the door open
If someone opens his door, you can hold down E on it to make him unable to close it again, this can be used to hold up doors while raiding. (not sure if intended or exploit)

18th March Update
Hi guys, We have a patch for you all which addresses some serious issues and provides some clientside improvements, check it out :
fixed airdrops – they will now spawn around noon daily!
fixed foundations destroying immediately upon placement and other issues where things would decay too quickly
fixed armor exploit where broken armor would not unequip if your inventory was full – you’ll just drop it now if it can’t fit
fixed extreme shadow flickering in buildings
fixed smoke signal not being influenced by lighting
fixed the fade from black starting too late after respawn
fixed the floating grass bug
fixed the first command entered into the console not working on OSX
tweaked tree billboard colors to better fit their mesh colors
added more control over image effects using the gfx console convars
gfx.ssaa true/false (enable/disable screen space anti-aliasing)
gfx.grain true/false (enable/disable radiation grain effect)
gfx.shafts true/false (enable/disable sun shafts)
gfx.damage true/false (enable/disable damage indicators)
added the console convar render.frames to limit the maximum fps to render
made lower quality levels automatically disable some image effects for better performance

this is currently only affecting the static rocks
enabled anisotropic filtering for terrain, road, rocks and building textures if quality level is above 50%
improved cloud synchronization to reduce situations where clouds have to jump around
