Theoretically not displaying deaths discourages laming because people won't feel the need to lame their way to a positive K/D
The problem is at this point I don't think the server can be re-taught how to not run or lame since these tactics have been the most successful strategy for the last few years. On top of that we have a pretty laggy server overall (things have gotten way worse in the last 2 years) so it might be too late to save the fun experience that I'm hoping can get brought back.
