Yesterday I played on a ranked server that had the punish system off. You couldn't punish a tk even if was obviously a thrill kill. So of course some guy gets on there and goes nuts.
By the time he shot me, he was up to negative 104, and he was just getting warmed up. The funny thing was, I was the first person to call for his kick and ask for an admin. The reason, I think, was that most people who got shot by him didn't even know they were tked. If the punish system is off, the yellow punish stuff doesn't show up and the only way you know its a tk is if you look up at the scroll in the upper left, which is hard to do sometimes.
Also, as soon as the the guy did his first TK, his score went negative and he dropped off the scoreboard. You had to take time out of the game to look for him at the bottom of the board. So you wouldn't know he was a "friendly" doing a tk spree unless you knew how to look (the teams were stacked and our team was lousy/inexperienced).
Anyway, the kick votes didn't work and no admin showed up until I called him an F'ing F'er and got kicked myself. There was no way to get this guy off the server.
So my questions are, shouldn't the tk punish system always be on to stop idiots like this? What is the effect of being punished? What is the big deal about getting punished? Even without the punish, you still get the negative points. The only people I've ever seen get kicked for tk's are pilots on Wake who accidentally shoot down full BH"s. But on those maps couldn't you set the sytem to give them two chances?
It seems like there alot more stupidity going on lately and turning off the punish system is a bad idea. What do you think?
