I think those are potentially legitimate issues, but they're very different than "bad gamer actors will use this to penalize those they don't like."

I don't play this game or know how they handle this, but in lots of games there are different player pools with different levels of competition. If you want to explore the engine and be creative, good on you, but you also should not be teamed up with people who are looking for a hardcore competitive gaming experience.

That also seems like a mostly orthogonal problem to encouraging good behavior like being nice and trying to win and discouraging antisocial behavior like insulting your fellow players or shooting your own teammates to be a troll.
