Currently on the server rules there is this

Harming your team for an extended period of time. (friendlying/griefing)

Keep in mind how it says harming your "Team"

Currently in surf there is a bannable offense known as blocking the surf which happens when someone intentionally stalls on the surf and intentionally stops the other team from progressing the surf.

Since it is a combat surf server collisions are on so whenever someone is surfing through the map they can bump into the person who is blocking which gets rid of all their speed leading them to fail the surf.

In the core surf teams dont really matter so people doing this are just intentionally griefing and by harming the other team it is ruining the game
for them.

I think we need something in the rules that says blocking the surf is not allowed because admins can easily get confused since it only states in the rules that harming your own team is bannable and harming the other team is not bannable

Considering everybody who has been reported for this has gotten banned, it seems it already IS. I'd assume it falls under "griefing"

It does fall under griefing but the griefing rule usually only applies if you are griefing someone on your own team (thats what it says in the rules anyways), this is different in the sense that people from the opposing side are usually allowed to grief/harm the other team but not in this situation so I would think some kind of seperate line in the rules stating this isnt allowed would be good in this matter.

Cream Tea should always be banned by Jerma. It's like a spastic Joker and Batman.

Why don't you just kill them?

Sure you can kill them, but it can be difficult sometimes.
If they are out of sight of your spawn then it is hard to snipe them etc and you have to surf to stop them, for people who are unaware they are there it can be really annoying to lose all of your speed and nothing is really stopping them from blocking the surf again and so sometimes you might be spending all of your time killing this annoying surf blocker just for you to enjoy an uninterrupted surf session.

Also people who do this often also use bulky classes and it can take a lot of hits to kill them.
