Do whatever you want, mute the whiners. If they didn't want to watch you scurry about frantically looking for a few more cheap shots for MS they shouldn't have ******* died first. Don't just hide though, that doesn't get you anything. Drag it out for a few more shots, but don't just hide for muh kdr.

2. It takes a lot more effort to tell the enemy team where a light mech is, 'cause they'll just move. Even if you go to the effort of constantly updating the enemy team on their position, there's no guarantee they'll have anything capable of catching them.
3. Not everybody does this, you just got unlucky. Play however you want as long as you're trying to win, and tell them to shut up and that you're actually playing the game.

Even the few that do try the power off/on trick are bird called from idiot spectators that don't know what its for or how to pull it off successfully. The best way is to have a rock or corner to use along with a uav. Launch the uav and go a bit into cover waiting a bit to power down to see if any pursuers get under uav then power down.
Some times its just better to go meh and take on the nearest enemy and drop an arty on both of you. Die fighting. No one wants to put up with a hiding loser powered down even if you have no weapons/ammo left. If you got no weapons left then hell with it. Hit the "1" on number pad yell out to the enemy your location and then ram the nearest one. There's no rule about giving out your location to the enemy if it is done by you.

You're supposed to keep trying to win and not just stretch the game out. If you just powerdown in a corner during Skirmish and drag the match out, your team will be mad at you and its actually against the rules. You'll get reported for non-participation.
Keep trying to win and get match score. Even if there's no chance, you can still deal damage or something and get yourself some more MS. You don't have to throw your mech away or anything. Just don't drag out a Skirmish match. Any other game mode they'll just win on points and you can save yourself the death if that even matters to you. But Match Score is the main thing that matters even for rankings, so just go for that.

i can understand trying to break up a murder ball or taking time to find an easy target. of course some people claim they are doing this and never even fire a potshot.

If you have no chance to win, drawing out the game is just being a **** to everyone else whose mechs are locked into the match.
And also is against the Code of Conduct.

If you're winning, hide! My team won a match and we out numbered the enemy team. Our mechs were very damaged, all of us one shot or no weapons (like me.) So, we hid. We ran the clock out with them trying to find us. One walked so close to me that I could hear the stomping of the mech!
If you're losing or want to go out in a blaze of glory; attack!! Have fun with it!
If people are calling you out for hiding, do like other have suggested and mute them or block them. I was in a match the other day when a brawling Fafnir decided he was going to sit at our base and wait for the enemy to come to him. People were calling him out, including me. I didn't call him a coward, but I said he was a brawling mech and should be up front fighting. He said we aren't paying his C-bills, so we weren't his boss. He died shortly afterwards.
If your team calls out your hiding spot, report them. The only time you should report your own team is if they are AFK or disconnect.

Winning is one thing, sometimes hiding can be a strategy. I think we're mostly talking about people who are about to lose anyway and hide just to preserve their K/D ratio. And that keeps all the rest of us from being able to move on to the next match. In most sports we use the phrase "unsportsmanlike conduct." I don't care whose team they're on, get them reported. The game as a whole is better for everyone if people like that aren't allowed to play.
