Luckily it is rare but I have noticed an increase in frequency, it's still rare but... As to why I have no explanation as I don't think there's been a noticeable influx of new players.

I have been playing since pretty much inception, and until a month ago, never had a TK. That being said, it happens, especially in todays game of high burst FLD and insane amounts of laser vomit.
A Commando that runs in front of his teams Stormcrow, Thud 5S, or Timberwolf, well....

The better solution is for everyone to politely point out that weather the person is right or not, the behavior is wrong then ignore them.
If everyone does this it will be like the real world, you just don't do things because the vast majority of people frown on it.

this kind of thing is why I'm still leery of voicechat
also, PGI does ban people if their conduct is bad or repeated enough. I follow another forum that has a fair number of folks who play, and we've had a couple over the course of time who have complained that PGI banned them for conduct (good riddance imo.)
still, for all their talk about 'toxic' players, companies like money an awful lot. In MWO as in most games you have to be pretty awful for a pretty extended period of time for anything to actually happen to you
All I've been arguing for ITT is a system that addresses only the players who are "pretty awful for a pretty extended period of time" and nothing else.

Use it to prioritize who staff monitor only.
In the case of text and voice chat you should be able to permanently block anyone who offends/annoys you from your own computer.
That solves a lot of problems. People who want to dominate others by having them globally censored are half the problem.
Again, only globally censoring the players who have been proven time and again to be toxic. Everyone has bad moods and bad days sometimes, and lash out. Should that be punished? No.
But should a player who is nothing but toxic day in and day out be allowed to continue in such a manner? The squelch/ignore function only serves to alleviate the issue for the individual user who decides to use that function. It does nothing to address or reform the offending player's crappy behavior. It does nothing to discourage the offending player from behaving like a sociopath just because "it's the internet and not real life." This has been my point all along and everyone seems to be content in ignoring that and twisting my words.

LoL is the best example for a community that does not work at all and what has to be circumvented by all costs.
Player executed penalisation systems are nothing but invitations for bullying and abuse.
Keep it rational yourself, take a pic and mail it to support.
I invite you to actually take a look at LoL's system. I've played the game since it came out and the system has come a long way. I've witnessed it in action and it works well.
But yes, I will go to support with a screenshot next time I need to. Thankfully it is a pretty rare occurrence in this community. The overwhelming majority of players on MWO are great people that I enjoy playing with. All I want is for the few "bad apples" to be made to understand that their behavior is not acceptable inside such a stellar community. Is that so much to ask?

This is an issue of accountability for your actions in a virtual environment and nothing else.

ignore would simply mute all their chat on my screen.
no-play would not allow us to drop in the same match.

The "No Play" list idea was nixed about 3 townhalls ago because it will destroy the matchmaker with everyone's preference lists and you'd never get matches.

I mean, that's a lot of my time invested as opposed to either just dropping the match or TKing the guy
there is really no excuse for their not to be a basic ingame report function

If I scream at you on team-chat that you're an idiot, and you made some incredibly stupid mistake, you most likely are.
I can't speak for other folks, of course..

Aside from that.... too much rage. How about a funny meme and a gif to LYAO (Laugh your A** off) at?
See? He agrees...

Sorry kids, keeping a safe and enjoyable community atmosphere that DOESN'T drive players and supporters away is far more important than your INSULTINGLY FALSE assertions of "freedom of speech" that disgrace the very meaning of the phrase.
