This includes:
- Leaving the intended course
- Skipping sections through unintended areas
- Getting outside the playable map

- Exploiting collision
- Bypassing intended checkpoints
If you discover an exploit, report it to staff rather than abusing it.

You may not intentionally bypass checkpoints or sections unless the shortcut is clearly intended by the map.

You may not manipulate scores, times, rankings, records, or other progression systems.
Any result obtained through exploits, cheating, or unintended mechanics may be removed.

This includes microphone spam, soundboard spam, chat flooding, and similar behaviour.
7.8 – Fair Play
Players are expected to play Surf as intended.
You may not intentionally exploit loopholes in these rules or the gamemode to gain an unfair advantage.
If a situation is not specifically covered by these rules, staff may take action where behaviour clearly goes against the intended gameplay or significantly negatively impacts the experience.
