Is this against the rules?

It's a rule that could be looked at again. Lock and Grizz fell victim to it, but the reason their ban was justified is because they knew the rules. It's always been like this and they'd both seen it happen to others, as is the situation with X-Cal. Not that I'm calling for him to be banned, that's down to the mods and admins, but even though we could perhaps change the rule slightly, especially in 2014 when the cheaters are nearly all gone, but the rules pretty clear cut.
