Is there some agreement on properties of a theory of quantum gravity?

[KurtLudwig]

TL;DR Summary

Do physicists have a list of probable properties and equations which a future theory most likely will contain. Such as: Will quantum gravity be a field? How to make quantum gravity re-normalizeable ?

Having read many times that there is no theory of quantum gravity, yet physicists at Physics Forums must have some ideas of what a theory of quantum gravity will contain.
Is it allowed to discuss these questions at Physics Forums? Wikipedia does allow some current theoretical work to be published, such as string theories and loop quantum gravity and some others. Wikipedia does not allow any personal ideas to be published. viXra allows most ideas to be published, but does not review any papers, with the result that these papers will most likely not be read by anyone.
It seems reasonable to posit that gravity is a field? All the other forces arise out of fields and interact with each other.
It seems reasonable to posit that space is granular? This would prevent infinities from arising.
The gravitational field may be the base field, as posited by loop quantum gravity.

Specific proposed quantum gravity models ("proposed" meaning "appears in an actual paper in the literature, which you should provide a link to") can be discussed in the Beyond the Standard Model forum.

Other discussions are too general and vague to be useful. For example:

It seems reasonable to posit that gravity is a field?

Ok, now go look at the literature and see how many different versions of "gravity is a field" there are. You need to focus discussion on something more specific than that.

It seems reasonable to posit that space is granular?

Ok, now go look at the literature and see how many different versions of "space is granular" there are...
