Just so there's no confusion: We do NOT have any rule that requires a player to apologise for a TeamKill. Over the past few months I've been seeing a lot of chatter of members and guests telling our players that they have to type out apologies if they TK. Sometimes these requests are followed by a slight threat of punishment. �This is spelled out clearly on our Rules/FAQS page
Yes, apologies are always nice and appreciated, and they generally provide greater evidence that a particular TK was not intentional. But by our rules we cannot punish for a lack of an apology. If someone TKs intentionally, chances are pretty good that they will continue to do it, in which case our members can make a judgment call about giving a warning.
I'm not trying to say that I think a rule requiring a TK apology isn't a bad idea, though. Most servers do have this rule, and it seems to serve players well. It also seems to make players a little more cautious in the future. But a change like that is another discussion, altogether.
I should also add that this is the case for all games - I'm just seeing seeing it a lot in W@W.
