Nope, untagged was the key part. It's nto cptmoore either. He does do this, but not to dramatically gamebreaking effect the other player can manage.

On marshes if an enemy was hiding in one of the hangars, I used to shove my mech into the outside of it and shoot through
I pretended I was breaking through the hangar like a total badass ;D

Stopped doing it since it's pretty much the same thing as shooting through ridges and stuff :-\

Saber made 5 bucks for good perception.

...
I won't name the fapper who's head is constantly peeking while the rest is covered and frying people (roosters and vets alike) with invisible lasers without crossing 1/3 of the map (when facing ONE hit from loki c it doesn't matter that all of his team is behind him he chickens out to save his "amazing" 11/0 k/d)
$5 says it starts with a K  ::)

On topic: Basically some people think that legging is valid? It should be noted that there are people who just don't miss with lasers and can leg almost anything without even trying. Fear of being legged like that leads to camping and I think we all agree that there is nothing worse than that. From my perspective, it is idiotic to leg small number players in the front line of battle far from their base and then justify it with "valid tactic thumbs up".

"Fair legging" example: RDL plays as they usually play and I run along the lines mascing in nova B. Take out/disable 2 camperpults and the I notice 2 RDL players making their move in madcats. I fire 2 alphas in one leg of madcats while doing a deathroll and masc using firs cover that i can spot. Uller joins the fight and gets creamed in some small amount of time but buying me time to take out a leg of one madcat. I start a deathroll on other madcat and take it out. Comment? "LEGGER!". And all that about 400m from their base entrance.

"Unfair legging" example: I join late and get creamed with arrows and lrm. I get a rac bushwacker, and sneak behind campers and unload quickly eating armor on one camperpult. But as a good tradition suggests, 2 madcats (a & b variant) popup to show the evil vlaad just who is the boss 300m from their base entrance. I begin dueling one while b variant leisurely shoots of my leg completely. I didn't call him a legger I called him a pussy (even that is gracious). He didn't use mechs any more because they suddenly began falling. I dedicated my mach to leg him and he ended up in vehicles.

Notice the difference? I would like to see approximate set of rules witch would regulate the behavior of vet players or at leas a general guideline of whats fair and what is not. Ill edit my first post when people agree on fairness of certain actions.

For now: Balooning is fair play. Annoying but fair. Laser exploit is grossly offensive. Shooting arms of is a part of game and is considered far. Right?  :)

Oh look it's one of those threads where people tell me how to play the game.

EDIT: you forgot to use the word HONOR about ten million times in your post.

Notice the difference?

Frankly, the only major difference I see is that in the "fair" example, you're not the victim. Regardless of the numbers of players involved, if you want to put a mech down fast, the legs are a solid bet. The point of a team game is to win, and the best way to win is to kill the enemy as efficiently as possible, not as honorably as possible. If it bothers you that much, you could always start your own duel server and force people to play by your rules there. Or if leggers are such a problem, and legging is such an effective tactic, maybe you should just leg them first. Since you seem to constantly find yourself fighting pussies, you should have no problem beating them to the punch, being the superior non-pussy player that you are.
