After getting in a bit of trouble for accidentally posting in the restricted area, it seems topic has bubbled over into what i hope is an acceptable place to discuss this.
IMO, No player should ever have restrictions placed upon what they do with their traitor rounds. (except the bigotry and other 'blanket' ettiquite rules)
If you try and say "This person" or "this style" of rampage is too rampant, then you open a can of worms. Moderating the level of rampage or what constitutes a rampage to begin with is a sliding scale and nobody would agree 100% with anyone elses standpoint on the matter, so its either Rampages Ok? Yes/No.
Goon has always had rampages. In fact, that whole "You may be bombed/burned/robusted etc" line you get when you log in is the whole reason half of us play goon I think, those servers that say "If you kill anyone other than your targets you're shit get out" are shitty servers.
I agree 100% that rampaging players are easy to counter. MURDER THE FUCKER, half of us are looking for excuses to enter combat or pull a prank on a dude and here you go, we have some jerk with a revolver or a shotgun and a body count....looks like you can do whatever to this dude and its ok, go get em!
I have fun killing folks that rampage, or borging them.
Personally I think this is terrible. A wizard is a confirmed antag, and you mention the wiz had killed. The fact you got chewed out for setting him on fire is terrible, and I'd have complained about the admin that chewed you out for overstepping their bounds in regards to attempting to control legitimate play. Wizards on a killing spree should be ignited any chance you get, so long as you dont burn down the station in the process....

On the reverse side, I also think that antagonists should be subject to whatever the hell people throw at them.
I recently got grumped at for setting a wizard on fire who was going around and killing dudes. Policing antag interactions is going to turn into Baystation-tier "Wow you didn't give that guy a chance to fight back" stuff, and I don't think anyone wants that.
