What the fuck do the headmins even do?
They decide policy and rules text
Post policy notices to admins to try and bring some consistency to admin rulings. (if you think this isn't working, instead consider how much worse it would be if they weren't doing this)
Handle permission book keeping stuff on discord, the game servers, and the forums.
Control policy and gameplay related configs on the server.

Voting procedure
Enter the game when the poll is running to vote:
You get a list of candidates randomly sorted and you re-sort them by dragging and dropping until you are happy with the order (higher on the list indicates you prefer this person more than someone lower) and then you hit submit.
Then when tallied the site eliminates the candidate with the lowest number of first pick votes, re-assigning all of their votes to that voter's second pick, and it does this in a loop until only one remains.
Thanks to some work by Atlanta-Ned we can now have a visualisation of the play time of each candidate, both a breakdown of minutes and time spent observing as well as connection count
If a candidate (and only a candidate) reports a low effort post, like say, a spray of posts by a notorious forum poster then I'll delete them, or if possible edit the post to ensure only substantive comments remain.
Each candidate has the right to choose who they will reply to and they don't have to reply to meme posts cluttering up their thread.
If I end up deleting a lot of your posts I'll put you on post approval for these two forums.
Constant low effort or disruptive content posts will be deleted,...
The Return of the Stoner
Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Hey guys! I'm running the elections because oranges is out on disability.
How the vote works -
Rules:
1)Only post a candidate thread in this forum if you are planning on running -
2)You must not be permabanned or...
Here we are again for another exciting headmin election. Last time was close as I came in second for the Player and Admin votes, losing the Player election by only 20 votes, wow!
When I went out on last campaign's platform I was uncertain with how voters would respond. I appreciate each and every one of you that voted in support. Now I can step forward with confidence into this term's election knowing that others around here share in my vision of...
Hello! I'm Dragomagol , or if you've seen me kicking around on discord you might know me better as Tattle . When I started out on /tg/ I kept primarily to Bagil, but since becoming admin I've enjoyed hopping between servers seeing what each one has to offer, and communicating with their dedicated players and admins.
I've been an admin for the past year and a bit now, and have poked my head into a lot of the subcommunities that make up /tg/station. Events, admin training, wiki editing, coding, mapping....
1a8b78778fdd6612b26876cf0a15d202.jpg Whats up fellas my name is Bindy Johal, I am still around ready to run for the headmin elections once again, I am ready to bring a lot of change.
Original Promises Before:
Remove Gamemaster Role
Remove Inactive Admins
What are your promises now?
Same shit as above, but some more shit.
Remove Manuel as a server, and try to encourage more LRP servers to settle in our servers, and try to encourage the MRPers to go to other servers
Try to boost Bagil's...
From an outside perspective, the most important part of being a headmin is the following:
1. Responding to policy discussion threads. Since February, over 50 have been made.
2. Responding to escalated ban appeal threads. Since February, nearly 30 ban appeals have been resolved by head admins.
3. Responding to admin complaints. Since February, over 10 have been made.
4. Accepting new admins. Since February, we've had nearly 20 new trial admins.
5. Being a leader amongst a large, diverse,...
I'm running for my first head admin election! Exciting times - I am very much looking forward to the whole process and I am hopeful about being given a chance to help lead and steer the community in the right direction.
Who?
I'm Cimika, a french player turned admin in early March 2021. I initially hailed from our good ol' Manuel server before falling in love with the goofier atmosphere that Sybil and Terry provide us.
ARMHULEN AND BAZELART AND TRALEZAB ARE TEAMING UP IN THIS SUMMER'S HEADMIN ELECTION
WHAT I WANT TO DO:
I will go BACK to 2017 style of headmin ruling, aka all headmins may answer an appeal or policy, and the others can post too if they disagree. This brings the discussion OUT of headminbus and BACK into public, and I have calculated it will shave ENTIRE WEEKS off of response time
I want to actually clean up vc stuff with better mute roles and party game roles. We have...
Sticky and I are looking to pull together some headmin debates! Currently I am set up as the moderator also I'm going to be stringing this all together. It will be like the community meetings, it will all take place in a voice call. The only problem here is time zones. Candidates please let me know when you could do a debate in GMT and we will try to see if we can put together a time when people are awake and not working. Current idea is to pull questions straight from the forums in...
Who
im Naloac aka Lepi Mewtera Terry player and admin with occasional visits to American servers aka headmin for two terms before this one
What Before
1- Changing all servers to dynamic.
2- To continue to get more admin trainers + admin candidates.
3- To encourage giving certain players namely event runners the abilities to run their own custom events
4- I want our bans to be public.
5- I want to cut out inactive admins coming back to ban someone then going inactive again.
6-Split MRP into its own...
Yo what up its Goofball back at it again with another headmin election run
Things I will do as headmin(And work with the other headmins to accomplish, just in case any of you chucklefucks think about getting all smart in the replies):
Hold a vote on the fate of tramstation on the servers, the community will decide
Hold a vote on public bans(not just permabans), the community will decide
Hold a vote on whether or not to open a second non-MRP EU server so that we can have the same level of server...
Wow, hugbug's running for an election what the fu- Get your eyes checked.
Hi, I'm Arcane, more specifically ArcaneMusic. I've been playing on /tg/ since around 2015, but I've been playing SS13 since about 2013 altogether. I played the game a LOT before I actually 'joined' the community (After I think I got banned for doing something stupid many many years ago), and then just kinda stuck around. And then I started to code. And then I got admined by Armhulen. And then I got more involved in some of the...
As usual I'll try to keep this readable and focused on what I'd be doing outside of the usual headmin work I've done successfully in the past (in an alternate timeline obviously I've never been headmin before).
The Anarchy Server
My current pet project: A low rules server designed as a mixing pot for all the other servers to get some grief out or do wacky semi-antagonistic shit with lesser consequences. RP will be maintained and enforced at the /tg/ classic level but antagonistic behaviour will be much...
Mailbox, who?
Let's pretend that you don't know who I am. I am Gorbi Fritzl or Drinks-The-Boooze. Balding and duffel bag enjoyer.
What do you want done?
1. I would like to have some form of admin meetings so we can all get on the same page. if we just decide once every month or every two months where we can bring up concerns or snitch on shitters that are problematic
2. I would like to put the n-word under a filter or just outright ban the use. this is not the last bastion of free speech we are just...
Policy discussions. Code discussions. LRP. MRP. Investigating bugs on live servers. Training admins.
What For LRP?
Happy with LRP.
Good balance of SS13 moments & gameplay quality. Good admin quality across all LRP servers. No major concerns.
Continue poking dynamic configs for best gameplay.
What For MRP?
Coco implemented my idea (after asking me) for more MRPmin input into MRP policy debates.
Election promise achieved!...
- I play mainly on Manuel. You may know my as Joey Petunia, Smells-The-Roses, or a number of other flower based static names. I'm a shameless botany main.
- I also very actively admin on Manuel. I'd like to think i'm one of the more active manuel admins currently but I have no statistics to back it up so no point in bragging about it.
- You may also recognize me from the various videos I make on youtube, but I assure you that's not me, but my twin.
- I also code things sometimes....
Hello everyone, this is my attempt to become the first player non-admin Headmin! Sounds crazy, I know, but I have a clear goal in mind with this campaign, and I’ll make this work by working closely with the players themselves. I play the character of Lukas Beedell, HOS main on terry. I think it’s finally time for a player who’s embedded into the community to have a chance to cause positive change. With this campaign, I will work to improve the gameplay...
Who are you, what do you want from me?
I play and admin both on tg and tgmc, and have too many hours in both. Used to play on Bagil when it still had pop, now I'm on Sybil most of the time.
What do you actually do?
Most of my time not playing the atmospherics calculator is spent making maps and running events for it, and if memory serves a list of a few of the things I have done is in my forum signature.
What am I going to do?
I don't have any particularly strong opinions on any of the policy...
Who are you?
Hi, I'm NamelessFairy, I'm an Admin Trainer, Morgan Robinson from Terry, strange pink cat and this terms host headmin pick. I've been playing for a little over 2 years and have been an admin for a little under 1 of them. This thread is an opportunity for people to lose whatever little hope you had in me. In other words here is your chance to ask my any questions you have.
I also like to make charts and its my defining personality trait besides being a cat
Hello, I am Boris Vc Borison , if you have not heard of me, this makes perfect sense as I am irrelevant.
I have been an admin for most of a year, and have not done anything actually of value to the greater community during that period. This is in-line with my Sweeping, Incompetent, and Unlikely to actually be implemented even if I was voted for Headmin plan, the
Server-Worse-Ification-Project
This Project will of course involve the banning of every single player, to establish a server for admins by...
I just want to make this absolutely clear since people seem to be in some confusion and are asking headmins code related questions.
The repository is entirely run separately from the server, Headmins have no more power than others, however, in all cases a maintainer will listen to their opinion and grant it more weight than a normal player.
You'd be better to ask how they intend to work more closely with the maintainers than how they intend to actually change code.
