Sadly there are a few idiots who like to kill their own team rather than the opposition. They keep getting banned but more turn up.
There is an auto ban feature so anyone team killing or spawn attacking will be banned for a certain amount of time. I don't think this applies to team wounding. I'd like to see the ban time turned up to around an hour, I think it's on 5 minutes at the moment so players who get banned often come back a few minutes later.
That would help deal with team killers but not team wounders.
For team wounders there are 2 options that could cut down on it, team wound slap and team wound reflection. With team wound slap the offender gets slapped with a set amount of damage. With team wound reflect it allows you to specify the number of team woundings during the course of a map before reflective damage kicks in. When it does kick in a damage multiplier setting comes into play, if set to 1 it reflects the exact same amount of damage that the team wounder inflicted if set to 2 it does twice the amount of damage and so on. You can also set it so that the damage multiplier increases with each team wound the player does.
I'm going to suggest to staff that we increase the ban time for tkers who do not get forgiven and that we introduce a team wound reflection ratio and a team wound reflection ratio increase.
It's important to get these settings right so they are not too severe for accidental team wounding / killing, so it might need a bit of tweaking and testing.

I think this is an excellent idea, and I think us as admins and regular players will benefit from it too.
For the time being, the only thing I guess we could recommend that admins are vigilant in dealing with these issues. Usually when someone TK's a lot, I get a message on steam friends asking me to deal with it. It might be worth making friends with some admins until a way round this can be found
