I don't know what game you're thinking about. I'm pretty certain if you spoke to Replijake, REK or Esker about this general idea they'd all only have one answer for you and that goes for many of the older players. War is war mate, no prisoners.
Obviously there is some lee way but that's.. you know.. incredibly obvious. Like.. no point abusing someone's account if they're actually dead. No point sending BS macho talk to someone who's just lost a treasured family member. You respected your enemies for what they were on the other end, human.. but you didn't compromise your war effort. Accounts belonging to dead players still needed to be negotiated out of wars, even if it was a two second negotiation. People having trouble in R/L either went on vac or suffered the full wrath of their enemies.. yadda yadda.
Not sitting on someone after a battle when they're weak?
You dream about things that simply did not happen.
