Forced Team Kill
Systems that allow team killers to be removed can themselves be abused. A player can "force team kill" on another player either by goading the victim into poor conduct (hurting the player without killing, obstructing a narrow path), or maneuvering themselves into fatal situations (running in front of friendly vehicles, stepping into someone's line of fire, detonating explosives that do not distinguish between friend or foe).
The "FTKer", though acting with malice, has technically been team-killed, and gains the ability to take action on the team-killer, who did not intend on harming the teammate. In the 'Halo' example, a griefer who forces team kill on another player can instantly kick the supposed "betrayer", while the griefer remains in the game to cause more trouble.
Should the game keep a running log of kills, a player suspected of FTK can be identified as being the "victim" of numerous teamkill incidents. Victims who haven't been kicked out of the game can also realize amongst themselves that the FTKer is not acting in the team's interest, and report that player to an admin or warn others of suspicious behavior.
