TTT Rules - A Confirmation

[Snbake]

I have seen this situation a few times (although it is a little bit rare), however the judgement by staff is inconsistent. The purpose of this post is to acquire a definitive answer which the staff are aware of and will apply consistently.

The situation: Players A, B and C are all innocent. The situation is functionally the same if B is a traitor and/or C is a detective.

Player A does something which B kills them for and B is well within the rules to do so (e.g. A shot B or crowbarred B for no reason). C, either having observed B kill A or finding out through some other means (e.g. DNA or B put a KOS on A before killing them) then kills B.

Who does B report and who is at fault? To me the answer is that A is responsible and should be punished, yet I have seen cases where B instead reports C and C is punished. B has been wronged, yes, but not by C. This doesn't make any sense. C has killed someone who killed an innocent - this is the fundamental point of the game mode and yet players that do this are being punished.

In the rules an exception is made in the definition of a traitorous act: "Shooting around or towards other players, unless for self-defence". If B writes in the chat or says in voice that they killed A for this reason, under the precedent being set I must believe B otherwise I am at fault, which includes cases where B is a traitor. This underlined part in my opinion should not be there at all.

Please give your feedback, along with your reasoning if you disagree.

I agree with this, peoples individual opinion should not count towards who gets punished. 

To add to this, this can also go for gags and mutes. There are people on the server who mic spam everyday, get gagged for it but then do it again the very next day and they get a 5 min gag at max. But then you permanently gag people who use voice changers??. Those types of things don't make any sense. 

Take semaj for example, I love semaj but he mic spams every time he is on by blasting music into his mic and he has been doing it since this server came out and the longest gag he has got is 10mins.
