Not entirely for K/D, it is a little worse than that.
There are people that equip assault rifles, safety them, and threaten/berate/intimidate. Their motives are not for kills, roleplay, or anything of the sort except for asserting dominance by circumnavigating the rules. Whether they die from the confrontation or kill the confronters an admin sit is made shortly after for ARDM/RDM.
It is a sycophantic playstyle and mentality that hurts the community's environment and devastates the roleplay climate.
From my interactions and familiarity of other people 's experiences this behavior is not being punished for the instigators, but is instead allowing them persecute their victims with ease.
I believe the "idle threat" rules was written poorly or it was unthought of the repercussion of saying all safetied guns. This has allowed very large assault weapons to be safetied and threats given with a complete safety net from staff and the rulebook. Hopefully this was not writer's intention, I believe they may have envisioned pistols on safety (which aim directly to the ground), instead the current situation at hand.
