On the other hand, I've also seen plenty of deliberate griefers who proceed to attack anyone they can out of spite/boredom/griefing.

But if someone shoots on purpose regardless whether me or a teammember i will immediately unload all weapons
till he is dead.
Happened just three days ago - twice.
"I backstab Teammates for Lulz" was too obvious anyway.

now if it happens, (nice it hasent happened as much now) me and my friends will fire a warning shot over there head, if they dont understand that then we strip em and leave em.
Granted i understand that a mistake can happen, i.e. hitting wrong key and such, so that is why we do the warning shots first now.

Everyone I know takes great pride in retaliation against friendly fire. Even before the dev post, I never liked it. Purposeful or not, I don't want to lose another mech in battle. Besides, I've seen quite a long list of oddly registered teamkills. LRM fire, lag, netcode, and don't forget the huge one - mechs wrapping around as they collide with one another.
I've only seen two intentional teamkills, both from disgruntled players upset about the game in one form or another.

If someone is teamkilling, then report them to support@mwomercs.com and let the in-game logs back your story up. Please include the names of players and the Mechs involved, the time/date of the match, the map, a description of the event, and a screenshot if possible.
Counter-griefing is frowned-upon by the Devs/Staff. When you have no repair to worry about, then you won't lose much by dying. In fact, by staying in the game and not firing back you won't lose any XP or C-Bills, your account stays clear, and your accusation of Griefing will carry more weight. You'll also have time to ask your teammates to report the same user with the in-game chat. Multiple reports that are confirmed by game logs are good.
Killing a team-shooter and not reporting him is less than ideal because their account will not be affected. You can't just shoot a griefer and expect that to make them stop griefing; you're probably not going to make them See the Light.
Prosperity I respect you and I respect the mods of this forum, and I respect the rules, which is why I feel I can say that what the op is discussing is reasonably with in the bounds of legal behaviour.

Team Killing is a deviant result of the Friendly Fire mechanic, which increases the strategic importance of location and coordination in fighting. Accidental Friendly Fire is expected. However, we will not be tolerating players who repeatedly abuse this mechanic to grief their team-mates by killing them. Please refrain from retaliating against somebody who may have accidentally shot you due to a bug or confusion.
Few people are advocating preemptive strikes or accidental shot retaliations and those that are are in fact advocating the violation of the rules, however the letter of the law is that you should not retaliate against accidental FF. I deeply agree with that as the intent of the rule is to avoid griefing and unnecessary escalation.
However the wording (and derived intent) is not that you should passively turn the other cheek to an intentional aggressor in a wargame, it would be both unreasonable and irrational to ask or expect that. I am fully of the opinion that the letter of the law supports defending yourself in incidents of intentional FF so long as you then report them.

I'm in the same boat, I sent a video to PGI not too long ago with footage of a teammate intentionally killing friendlies. Got a response within 48 hours.
