I will disagree on the deadmans walk, as long as it is done properly. A dead player will have no problem telling you they are dead. If you aren't situationally aware enough to ask a player who appears to be dead, yet is doing very un-dead(not zombie) player like actions, if he is live and or cover and prepare to shoot funny acting player, you deserve the rolling you are most likely to receive. he is doing you a favor by teaching you a lesson you will not soon forget, if you are bright enough to learn from YOUR mistake.
On the other hand, medics and the abuse of medic rules because of players misunderstanding rules that they should be well versed in, have led to more cries of cheating than any other thing I have ever encountered on any playing field. This problem is fostered by fields who do not enforce their medic rules in favor of keeping players in the game when they make a mistake. If you are shot, you freeze. You have 60 seconds for a medic to reach you. If he does not reach you in time you go out. You do not go look for a medic. You do not wander the field. Using medic judges also confuses the rules further because they encourage you to seek out a judge, and take the judges eyes off the game to tend to you. There should not be medic judges. If the size of the field makes traveling to the deadbox a huge inconvience, then utilize ref staffed on field field hospitals with a 200 ft. exclusion zone to prevent hospital camping by opposition teams.
