/tg/Station 13

As for friendly wizards, I do get the complaint - they've never been my favourite gimmick. Ideally there should be admins online who can help resolve things via roleplay means (spawning a second wizard whose objective is to hunt down the traitor is a favourite, or the CentCom Space Inquisition comi...

Complaint retracted by complainant, closing this up.

I feel like a certain amount of common sense applies to this. The nightmarish shadow monster who lurks in maintenance and can turn into mist? It's a pretty natural reaction to want to gun them down if you can. The human traitor? Not really as much of a fight or flight, rule 6 applies. As the thread ...

As a general precedent, sending stupid messages to Centcomm (or the Syndicates), including bad nuke request codes, has been open season for invoking their wrath via bluespace punishment, with anything from BSA to fireballs to pod delivered nasty surprises. The only general limit has been to not infl...

Also this isn't really a rules issue since if you get there by accident (somehow) then it's not gonna get you told off, just yeeted back to station. If you're maliciously exploiting a bug (which basically every means of getting to centcomm which isn't the escape shuttle/the ERT shuttle/admin invoked...

This isn't a policy issue - if you believe the objective is too hard or the provided instructions are too vague, I suggest proposing changes in the coding section of the forum.

Locking this since it's meandering with no real goal in sight.

anyone who doesn't think that you could end up in this situation during cloners never played during the days of quick cloning.

Alright, then. Answer me this. If the following post ( https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=26207#p552910 ) was valid commentary on the topic, then how is me directly responding to said commentary somehow against the rules? I think it's worth noting here that not every post is goi...

I'll preface this by saying that I don't intend to go back and forth on most of these points. It serves neither of us any benefit to argue endlessly over the things we disagree on, as ultimately it's up to the headmins to decide whether there's merit to the complaint. That said, I would like to corr...

On to the second post: Regarding Just because you have a grudge against me and want to hide the truth I'm splitting this up because I want to talk to you, not from the viewpoint of a moderator defending their moderation action, but as a person - no one cares . Genuinely, honestly, no one cares about...

So the rules you broke: 1. No spam. (Contentless posts, repeated posts, off topic posts ) (Emphasis mine) 3.) This is not the place to discuss bans requests, appeals, administrators or other players; that belongs in the FNR section To clarify, you submitted 5 posts for approval, with 3 of them being...

(The banning admin in this instance was myself)

I'll respond at a later point.

Thinly veiled shitposts about ongoing policy discussions go in the hut.

It is darker than whats currently available. It is similar to the catpocalypse, where people were allowed to keep their characters, if they made it before new ones got banned. I chose my color when it was available and now it isn't. No, these things are not similar. Catpocalypse was an intentional ...

Perhaps the soltion to this is (as has started to happen) is that mods and admins discuss peanuts/approvals etc allowing for more of a general consensus. Maybe easing back on certain things. I still am firmly behind that the peanut rule is useful, I've yet to see another server that doesn't have th...

also certain events (including Catastrophic Meteors) are time gated - for example Xenos can't spawn normally unless 40 minutes have passed. There are lesser meteor waves that can spawn earlier but they tend to mostly be a danger to solars or make hull breaches as opposed to cratering entire departme...

There is a very wide berth between "where do I go to discuss my ban with the admins" and "I want to shitpost about someone elses ban!" and I don't think it's particularly good faith to presume the latter is what that rule is talking about. Also the "ban requests and other pl...

Your obsessive focus on the rules as written says everything that needs to be said I often apply the gauge of the spirit of the rules vs the written - there are many posts that wouldn't fly under the written word that have been allowed because they fit the spirit. I'd be curious to hear why you thi...

For reference, the original anon3 post (unedited since its posting): THE AN0N3 AMENDMENT IS IN EFFECT Adding to/adjusting the definitions so that players can post in a thread regarding something they weren't involved in, IF IT IS TO BRING UP/POINT TO/HIGHLIGHT a rule, precedent, or piece of evidence...

There was already a thread made for this: https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=24393, but either I'm tripping or headmins never actually did anything about it and just quietly locked it. To be clear, any post in Policy Discussion that goes a certain amount of time with no posts ge...

April Fool's is over, and so is this thread.
Maybe you should go and bake some bread.
There's no punchline
I'm just hungry and waiting for lunchtime.

Personally I think the issue is more code then policy - getting someone to stay still long enough you can take their ID, important job gear, change the ID perms, give it back and then throw them out of the department is realistically not within the means of most heads that lack stunbatons or access ...

hopefully peanut compliant post: Adding to/adjusting the definitions so that players can post in a thread regarding something they weren't involved in, IF IT IS TO BRING UP/POINT TO/HIGHLIGHT a rule, precedent, or piece of evidence that was missed that is relevant to the situation. I was the guy wh...

As a general precedent, ghostroles are not sacred and can be handed off/deleted/etc. with relatively little reason (though obviously open abuse isn't tolerated). This precedent goes doubly for admin-spawned ghostroles like ERTs - you only get the role because the admin spawned one, so they're genera...

It's a pretty delicate balancing act between putting a new game mode so high it gets old quick or so low that people barely ever know the mechanics/gamemode so they're left floundering. That said, it's currently in the same bracket as revolution, one of our other more action packed (and generally qu...

While I get this is a hot button topic for certain people, I will remind that the point of Policy Discussion is discussion, not screaming at the other side till they shut up. There's more then a few posts in here breaking Rule 1: Posts only designed to antagonize or otherwise escalate the situation ...

Administrators regularly disagree on various aspects of all policy. This is why we have head administrators to settle disputes and decide policy :V Regardless, the ruling that TribeofBeavers cited is the current standing one. No amount of personal opinion (of an administrator or a player) matters in...

The issue becomes when discussion becomes more about a ban then policy/precedent set by it. Threads spawned by a controversial or precedent setting ban are fine. Threads that are using policy discussion as a thin veneer to have a peanut gallery on a ban are not. I.e. "I don't think people shoul...

Non-consensual surgery is harmful for the purposes of Law 1. Doesn't matter if it's pacification or borging or whatever.

As ever, if you believe an AI is breaking their laws ahelp it.

I won't express an opinion on the botany thing but I'll tell you for free that the issue with the paramedic was less "staying in their lane" and more: Every round, he would There are plenty of things you can do without issue on an individual round basis that become tiresome or problematic ...

Your appeal was denied here: https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25789 on the 1st of March 2020. By the rules of the board, you must wait 12 months before appealing again, in the absence of permission from the banning administrator or the head administrators. I'll be locking this f...

You've also barely played in the intervening time, so I don't think that's as strong a vouch for you as you think it is. That said, I can't realistically handle a ban appeal from a political opponent during election time without, whatever my decision would be, being interpreted in political light, s...

The recent posters should really read the thread wholly as the points have been very well gone over already regarding this topic. All it is imo is a thin excuse/cover to valid a role that everybody cool dislikes, and thus will not argue over you murdering them for whatever lie you make up. Perhaps ...

Also as much as I dread even commenting on the 9 billionth naming policy thread, I will comment to point out "it's a real name that real people could/actually do have" is not a good metric for whether something is acceptable in a roleplay enviroment - there are a lot of stupidly named peop...

So - this is gonna be a bit of a long one because, well, rule 0 ban's generally require more justification. As I intimated in the previous ban appeal, there was a reason for my decision at the time, and I'll expand on that in my conclusion. First, to clarify, the bans in question are a 2 week server...

I'm not going to respond to this tonight, partially as a courtesy to you since the ban appeal seems pretty irate. I would suggest taking 5 to cool off and revising, though I can't require it of you. To clarify - the issue at hand here isn't the invasion itself, but rather the actions taken in pursui...

Realistically the thing that gets on the nerves of players and admins alike is lizards who go "whoopsie doodle I headed south and left and found this mysterious station that I totally didn't know existed! I wonder if I can take this shuttle up to the station and now act like a murderer despite ...

While it's obviously up to the headmins to resolve this thread, it's worth noting the ban apppeal rules have been updated recently.

The "hatred" of wizard has very often been a overstated forum thing vs popularity in in-game polls, so you're gonna have a hard time convincing the headmins that now is the Time

As feem is retired, I'll be taking over this ban appeal On investigation, the claim that you and Bletchi are not the same person has some merit - though you both clearly changed which ckeys you were using a couple of times, even aside from that. In future I'd suggest you stick to one c-key and ahelp...

Re: what happened to deedubya's posting over the months?

Another great thread ruined by necroposting

Finally, the most important point...why aren't the rules and guidelines for administrators a matter of public knowledge? At the moment, the admin complaints forum is just a farce, because we the community do not know what standards the admins are supposed to be held to. Likewise, because we don't k...

Make a less shit thread

Alternatively take the 18th thread (<-- this is hyperbole) without a wizard disable as something of a hint and either wait for elections or come up with a proposal that's substantially different.
