A couple of weeks ago I watched some dude teamkill another player by pushing him into a river. The teamkiller turned blue and it showed a -1 on the scoreboard. Upon seeing this terrible injustice I polished my sherrifs star and killed the Outlaw teamkiller with two shots of my trusted SU 100Y. Now I was on -1.... It was always my believe, you could just kill teamkillers without consequences? Am I wrong?

And yes, I've got video of this.

I remember reading about team killing about 2 years ago, it was when you could still commit friendly fire with artillery. It stated very clearly that team killers would turn blue and anyone on the same team who decided to take matters into their own hands and destroy the team killer would suffer the same penalty as the team killer. In other words, killing a team killer results in you also becoming a team killer. I tried it once. It was the only time I ever saw a blue team killer. I was in my arty and decided to shoot him from behind at point blank range. I have no idea if I became blue to my team mates, but the results at the end of the game saw me on -1 kills. It wasn't terribly long after that when WG removed all friendly fire from the console version of the game.
