If you disable surrender to prevent "spite surrenders," then you'd better disable trades and gifts also. Because otherwise the "spiteful" player can just gift/trade everything to another player, and he has accomplished the same thing as surrender. (With the small difference that the receiver can decline.)

Correct, except that's not a small difference. That is ALL the difference. If a player wants to leave the game bad enough to pull something like this, I say let him go. But if the recieveng player had to accept the surrender, or gifts, then I don't feel so bad about taking out my frustration on him. He is no longer an innocent victim.
