I'm aware that quite a few TKers are new players who come in just to wreck a game and never play again but there is nothing much we can do about that other than be glad that they don't play again. But I think the community would frown upon having a reduced punishment for people between 1500-1524 karma because it isn't hard to get into that bracket of karma and once you're there, you can TK freely with reduced punishment as long as you leave before the karmabite. It'd also make something which needs to be earned easier the closer you get to it. It would be like giving extra experience gain to someone at 9000-9999 experience just so they can unlock engineer and commando faster.

You're not on your own and I'm pretty sure there have been threads about TK punishment on the forum. My advice is to avoid playing classes that can easily TK people (like Demo) when you have a few new players in the game if you have problems with them walking into things. Stick to the basic 3 classes as well as Recon. Save the higher classes for advanced games or games with very little new players.
