Suicide should 100% have a penalty.
Something like taking you out of the action and to a safe space where you can think about what you've done. Sort of like when you would die before and show up in a random nearby bed...

I could understand the debate on both sides if one were to say how it doesn't matter, but it is, in a sense, abusing and taking advantage of the scoreboard in a minute way. The problem I see is this behavior seems to be contagious. The last time I PK'd, with a large group of 8 Pkers and myself, all of them would suicide at 0.5 and then hop right back into the action.
The only time any of us would really get any pks is when some random would walk by with 0.5 and became targeted, and they would try and kill me since I have a lot of fun trying to survive and troll around at 0.5.
It's petty and strange, because there honestly isn't any other reason to kill yourself other than to prevent somebody else from getting a PK. Not to mention, with the bomb and arrows, it's the easiest way to get back to 3.0HP... It isn't really fair to regular players, even if this seems like a very trivial issue. It's just ridiculous.
There's just nothing more frustrating then pking against an entire group that suicides every chance they get.
