I've read quite a bit about people getting deducts for something called montage killing, which seems to involve taking out large numbers of enemies in a single post. Is there any way I can take on multiple foes without getting a deduct (provided my character's strong enough)?
If you decide to have your character take on an NPC I introduced despite me making clear beforehand that they're too powerful for you to beat, and raise no OOC objections to the NPC's presence or stats, you do not have the right to suddenly start moaning about me "godmodding" or "spoiling things" for you via overpowered NPC.
If you decide to kill off my NPC mooks or have them flat out go against their allegiances without asking me, you've got little right to complain when I do similar things to your mooks.
If you feel that I'm making NPC's act OOC, and I've posted an explanation as to why I've had them act that way, read and contest said explanation, rather than just moaning about me "godmodding" and "spoiling things" for you via character nepotism.
If you're going to claim that I've broken site rules, at least make the effort to check that I actually have beforehand. Because I most certainly will, and if I find out that your claim is wrong, I'm just going to disregard it.
DO. NOT. GODMOD ME. PM me beforehand if you want to do something that might be considered godmodding.
As long as you rp killing every single person then yes. No going "And after an hour of fighting, the entire division was dead" and that's the only 'fighting' the post has.

Provide reasonable description for all of the combat while RPing your strengths and your weaknesses.
A starter, or even a 50 SD character, is not going going to be running through dozens of mooks and killing each with a single swipe. Instead he should face each foe as a threat, albeit a fairly low one, and actually engage in combat with each enemy.
Just remember to always kill responsibly.
Watch where you're going Spirit, I was typing here.
Though perhaps superfluous at this point, Montage Killing refers to the act of setting up a huge battle (say 50+ mooks) and then spending next to no time or effort disposing of it.
With this I mean, if your character has no reasonable way of doing so. if they have a destructive fruit and a fitting technique, it's not unfair to say they can dispose of them with no time but the effort is still there in using a sufficiently powerful technique. The way many go wrong on this is if they set up for a melee brawl, Dynasty warriors style with a lot mooks to take out, but afterwards don't bother being descriptive in their melee brawl like Spirit pointed out earlier.
Montages can work but the deduct pops up more often because it's used wrong. A challenge that presents itself because of plot, which is then easily dismissed just to speed up that plot and not go through a "boring" brawl is wrong. However if you use it as a story element to say "wow, that dude is so strong he killed all those dudes in a single blow", it's not wrong. Just remember to make the purpose of said montage clear should you choose to do such a scene.

Montage killing a town makes a guy dressed in a bee costume come to break your arm, its not something you want to do.

I don't agree with darkhunter often, but he's speaking from experience here. He knows what he did wrong and he suffered unimaginable torment for it. Unimaginable.

Listen up all you skaghead, sewer rats, gangsters, Villains and whores, the dark figures from the shadows, Crept up from behind, where they brandished a gun, Pointed directly at his face, And they shuddered at the sight when the words were spoken, "Go ahead, son, but you're making a big mistake," As the coolness of the night reflected off the cobblestone roads, And silence took over, he said: "Do you know who the fuck I am?"
