Basically TTT does not use common sense much as rules are there to enforce the server to make it fair and anyone can say they heard shots or anything and that would loophole the RDM rule massively and then everyone could say the excuse i heard shots or whatever and i have handled a lot of reports where people say that and kill the wrong guy so yea.
Common sense is often a good strategy for innocent TTT player. For example, say someone claims to have killed a T over microphone and because they use stereo boxes you can hear them gain XP or even better yet, they level up. Then it turns out that the user they killed is actually an innocent. In this scenario you can use common sense as well as the in-game features to determine that the user is, in this case, a Traitor.
In this scenario you're making enough logical choices that would help you determine that this user is a Traitor. In case a Teleporter is used, the player should have announced it in the chat. Have they not done so then you can obviously kill them (assuming that the other steps listed by MythMe have also been followed).
Of course in case a report is made the staff member shoule open a chat to determine whether or not these steps have been followed. If the user responds with "They came out of the nether but never entered, they clearly used the T room's portal" the staff member should try to acquire more information. I'd advice questions such as 'Did you know that users can spawn in the nether if they join mid-round' or 'How did you determine that this user was in fact a Traitor'. Obviously if the user they killed is innocent then they did not follow these steps. Open a chat and inform them of what they've done wrong so that the user is aware (rather than punish straight up. I've always disliked such an attitude of staff in these kinds of situations).
Basically, it is allowed if you do what you say you've done. Staff members claiming otherwise should familiarise themselves with the game's mechanics better.
