    Steps to Reproduce the Problem:
    1. Have a clear AWP-shot and just when you fire a teammate runs in your line of fire, +300 HS team damage.
    2. Have a dodgy bulletfight with players scrambled together all over the place, add some smoke for even better experience.
    3. Hit a teammate for 18dmg with glock.
    4. Receive your ban.

    Expected or Desired Behavior:

    1. Have a clear AWP-shot and just when you fire a teammate runs in your line of fire, +300 HS team damage.
    2. Dead teammate has the option to forgive the teamdamage, substracting this from your total teamdamage.
    3. Hit a teammate next round for 18dmg with glock.
    4. Play on.

    I would rather see an automatic vote enable after X amount of kills or X amount of damage than some sort of reduction in total team damage or anything that would give advantage to the player who TKED. Tking and team damage has real effects on how a round or match overall turns out. By essentially removing such an element, you would change the dynamics of the game.

    Spock you misinterpreted.

    “Dead teammate has the option to forgive the teamdamage, substracting this from your total teamdamage”

    This means that the total teamdamage TOWARD THE BAN is subtracted. The damage is still done. Of course everyone would want all the teamdamage to be subtracted if it was themselves.

    I feel that there should also be a similar forgive system implemented for people who unintentionally disconnect (but want to rejoin, but experienced a random problem they didn’t intend). If I accidentally got a crash to desktop for some unknown reason, and my teammates understood and forgave me, I would be back in that server giving it my all to balance my loss.

    For me, I’ve been getting 1-2 disconnects in total (if that ) this last week after patch which brought my ban (plus a 300ish dmg accidental awp through my teammate and some crossfire) to a week. Come on, we can implement a much fairer system to solve these issues. I voted for this, and I hope it gets looked at. Cheers.

    (PS: If anyone knows of any tickets voting to change the disconnect to an optional penalty/forgive via vote, or something similar, please comment. Thanks!!

    Korsurr, start your own ticket if you wish for a separate forgive system for disconnects, this ticket is specifically for TKs. Regarding bans, You get a ban level each time you abandon. It goes 30 mins, 2 hours, 24 hours, 7 days. 7 days is the maximum.

    Every week since your last ban, your ban level goes down 1 level. It will take 4 weeks for your ban level to get back to 30 mins.

    This means, from your first ban, if you abandon a game once per week maximum, you will only ever get a 30 min ban maximum.

    If you think about it, if everyone uses their 1 abandon per week, every player will experience 9 games per week abandoned by other players, in the current system.

    If you want to play competitive rules without leaving penalties, or have used up your 1 abandon for the week, I’d recommend playing on 5v5 community servers, here is a guide: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3031976

    *Dead teammate has option to forgive damage* I really like this idea.! Tumbs up

    Remember the teammate doesn’t have to be dead for you to get banned, you can just hurt them even when granates and if happens a few times you can get banned. Again depending on how much damage you implicted.

    So i would suggest extra option:
    ASK team for permition to ban player!!
