I know its a thread for players sorry!:
Imo in situations in which an admin can't prove 100% without a doubt: that using lethal force to defend a coworker wasn't justified, should have the bwoink end with no note.
There has been cases in which staff took like 15 people, GA's, head admins, cm's and it was very hard to come to conclusion, if staff wasnt sure about an incident, a player shouldn't be expected to know what they should have done nor should they be punished.
While I believe current valid hunting rules are ok, I believe being less strict with them and punishing only egregious and blatant valid hunting rule breaches (ones, where no admin would ever argue against applying a note) would make people less feel like they are "walking on egg shells" and would feel confident when they are helping a coworker, they won't be bwoinked unless they obviously messed up.
