Petpet Cannonball 'cheat'... illegal?

I was browsing the game tips and stuff and I saw this one :

Press and hold the spacebar

Get the first petpet in and press spacebar for the rest of the game. It will say game over when you get around 700 - 800 points, a great way to earn some extra neopoints!

I was just wondering, is this cheating? Because it seems like making use of a glitch and if so, could you get frozen for using it?

Yes, you can get frozen for that. There was a similar glitch in Zurroball which has since been removed - about 100 people were frozen for it, IIRC.
