We've all played with them; those idiots that seek only to ruin the fun of their teammates. You know, the teamkiller, vehicle thief, the chat/emote spammer, and that little kid who enjoys screaming obscenities through the mic. We all hate them, and I'm sure we have all had to combat them at one time or another. However, there are ways of dealing with them that can be fun for all - Clever, inventive ways of dealing with that smart-ass (short of banning/kicking them).

My favorite came from a game of warfare (ArmA multiplayer) I played a few years ago.
There was a guy who was running over all of our AI controlled infantry units with an M113 as they spawed out of the barracks and generally just wreaking havoc. After a few minutes of simply tolerating his idiocy, I got a brilliant idea and consulted with out team's commander. I played along with this guy's games and suggested that we foil our team's assault on an enemy held town to the north. He was skeptical at first, but soon I talked him into getting into a blackhawk that I was piloting. I took off, and headed west... WAYYYYYYY West.
For those who are not familiar with ArmA, the maps in the game are literally the size of, well... A small country because thet's exactly what they are.
At any rate, I flew this pesky fellow west, turned sharply north, and then dropped him off about 3 to 4 kilometers north of our HQ. He thought I was going to get out and come with him, since between me and a few other teammates we had him convinced that we would meet him there. Instead, I took off and flew back to our HQ; leaving him all by himself a ridiculously long way away from home base. He spammed the chat for the next few minutes before he attempted to walk that 3 to 4 kilometers back to civilization (over mountains, hills, and even through a small desert). He never made it back. He quit out of frustration, and the rest of us were able to play as normal.
