would like to know why i can be punched until im dead by anyone,then when i try to punch or attack them i get a "blah blah is not accepting punches or is in hospital" message
If someone ends up in the hospital after some fights, you can punch him as many times as you like, even to death. If someone is healing after he has been killed, it takes some time (or a certain amount of health regenerated) before you can punch him again.
