By illegal do you mean bannable? Because that feels like it would pretty hard to enforce. (I’m guessing you just played a game of bridge where you got spawn killed before making this post though lol) ---

There are already tons of topics made about this. Plus it already has been archived. > [@Nerf Spawn Killing in CTF](https://forum.playhive.com/t/nerf-spawn-killing-in-ctf/67277): > > Spawn killing is a massive problem in CTF - Sometimes, its fine, as it allows for fast wins. However, other times people just kill farm and it’s annoying. Spawn killing needs to be nerfed, its very op as u get like 4 people just murdering everyone as soon as they spawn. Spawn invul only lasts like 3 seconds while the respawn time is closer to 8. Sweats have developed some countermeasures, like spam clicking as soon as they respawn or placing tons of blocks, but they still won’t win the 1v4 or 1… ---

Agreed, spawn killing really is annoying, and the hive doesn’t stop the spawn killers, but rewards them by giving them XP for kills. A way to prevent this would not to give xp for killing someone in their spawn area ---

Hi! Spawn killing is punishable if done excessively and defeating the point of the game, such as not taking the flag back in CTF or not scoring an easy point in Bridge. If you do see players doing this, feel free to report them using the /report command and a staff member will look into it as soon as possible. There is no perfect solution to spawn killing and it isn’t fair to say we reward them with XP for doing it - Are we to simply remove XP from getting kills? Similarly, hackers are rewarded with XP for winning, are we to remove XP altogether? Report the players breaking the rules and they will be looked into 🙂
