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.

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 number 15, Headmin Election, Foot pictures
The last thing you'd want in your headmin election is someone's foot pics. But as it turns out, that might be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet as part of the tgstation headmin election. With the statement: This is the feet of your admins on Tgstation. Admittedly, he had shoes on

Hello /tg/station!
I still can't believe we won last election! It was close, too! A real nailbiter.
And then this term was so good! It's been a dream to be honest, I was able to accomplish a lot and I had wonderful teammates!
But a term is only so long and some things remain unfinished. I've got enough left in me to do one more. So here I am, let's do it again!
Term Summary
Admin conduct has improved!
With over 90 batcaves this term we took care to have direct conversations...
Big features include Dynamic 2021 and new preferences menu!
Consistent work with head admins to push new features and administration changes
Consistently active admin on Sybil, helping to handle large ticket amounts on high pop and low pop
Regularly active admin elsewhere, hopping on during times of low admins
Started the...
Hi there. I'm Bawhoppen. I've been around here for awhile, so you may know me.
I want to keep this concise since it's easy for a headmin campaign post to turn into something too long-winded.
I believe I'm qualified to be headmin for a few reasons: I've been playing on /tg/station for nearly a decade now, and have been involved with the community, administration, policymaking, and codebase for a good part of that. I think I have a fairly balanced attitude to the game, with a sense of humor, but also a...
IDEOLOGY
I want people to have the maximum available freedom to find their own fun alone and with others. This is up to the point that it begins to infringe on other people's fun, and that's obviously where the various lines get drawn by headmins. People here (and everywhere) often have a simplistic and incomplete view of liberty. There are two forms of liberty: negative liberty, which is the freedom from constraints and positive liberty, which is the freedom to...
Hello, I'm Riggle , an admin trainer and key holder.
Who?
Good question.
What will I do if I get elected?
Work on resolving ban appeals, approving candidates and other headmin specific work
Keep LRP on LRP, and MRP on MRP . Some of you are afraid that /tg/ will remove LRP, I will make sure that does not happen and that rule 4 stays
Rework the admin application process. Our current one is quite terrible, and I'll be looking into rewriting the template. Potential candidates should feel like...
About me ~
Heya ! I'm Sylphet, I've been here since 2019. I started out on Sybil, before moving to Manuel, and I've bounced around between TG servers and other codebases ever since. I like to think it's really broadened my perspective on Space Station 13 as a whole. The issues that servers of all different types face, the types of people that we see. The magic that this game can create, no matter the roleplay level, or...
This is my platform, I'm a maintainer and an admin and I want to contribute further to the community by becoming a headmin to push changes which I think are important to the playerbase and community as a whole.
Ckey : WalterMeldron
Character Name : Walter Meldron (same as ckey, quite funny)
Why I'm making a platform for headmin : I'm calm and I try to avoid being aggressive towards people. I often discuss solutions to problems, whether it be codebase or community, and...
When you think of /tg/station, what comes to your mind?
Is it coders, hard-coding away your favorite features of your spess man game?
Is it admins, bwoinking you for welder bombing the guy that OBVIOUSLY shot you first? (the logs were glitching)
Or maybe, just maybe..
its something more?

Hi, it's Melbert again.
I assure you I am not well known community figure Melbert. That's another guy, common name.
I became a /tg/station maintainer in December of 2021.
I became a /tg/station admin trainer in Feburary of 2022.
And now i'm running for headmin. Again.
What's the deal?
The prior term of headmins did a fantastic job and I commend their work greatly.
They left us in a pretty strong point policy-wise, doing things like updating the headmin rulings, reformatting the rules page, hosting...
BOOP BOOPS FOR HEAD ADMIN
A VOTE FOR BOOP BOOPS IS A VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY
When I am Head Administrator I will do something the other Head Administrators won't do, I will put checks on Administrators, Moderators, and Head Administrators. I will make them accountable to YOU . As has been proven time and time again there are those who wish to abuse their power. I will stop this by implementing two major changes
CHANGE ONE:
Any person in any position of power may be voted out of power via a vote of no...
yo whats up its time to
VOTE GOOF 2022
my election pitches this year:
BAN GREYTIDING
If you are caught engaging in greytide as a non-antag, you will receive a 1-month assistant ban , with an additional month for every time you've been given a greytide ban. For example, if you're getting banned for greytiding on your third offence, you get a 3-month assistant ban.
If you greytide on a regular job as a non-antag, especially if you are serving a greytide assistant ban, you will receive a 1-month server...
Lukas Beedell, HoS main from terry here the changes I want are those which I believe can improve the experience of the average player, that is my goal. We got close last time so let’s see if we can get even closer this time around. In the rest of this post I will outline my headmin policys
Admin conduct.
One major issue that I see now is the conduct of some admins in tickets. Opening tickets with “hi”, “do you even know the rules?” “Why did you do that?” and being unclear throughout is not a good way...
Hello. I am a nobody from terry, known only because he took the most wonderfully uncreative name for his static silicon. As a player, with nothing to my name except being pure white i can't say anything more, so let's get to the important part.
What do i want to prioritise if i ever get a voice :
Push for mentorship system- i believe it doesn't need a lot of explanation. Mentors would help newer players, and if properly advertised to them they could also massively reduce the amount of bad behaviors...
Find the selections below that apply to you and read. Ignore the sections you don't care about. Create your own tl;dr.
General goals for the term :
More communication and more openness between headmin team and all other parts of the community.
End term with a clean and tidy house for the next team to live in.
My vision for the community and its players :
Communtiy meetings.
Not be invisible in ban appeals,...
Edit: I’ve chosen to withdraw my headmin candidacy. Please see the reply for more details.

Hello there! My name is san7890. You probably don’t know who I am, but I think I know who you are.
Isn't it so nice to see a purple name?
This is a bit of a read, but I’ll tell you about some lessons I’ve learned from this game (and community at large). If you feel like having a good read, just expand the spoilers! Let me elaborate on myself.
I’m currently an Admin for /tg/station13, but I’ve...
I'm WineAllWine, nice to meet you. I've been an admin now for a year and a half and I'd like you to vote for me to be headmin!
I admin and play almost exclusively on Terry, and I like to think I'd be known for my laid-back, fun-loving admin-style.
I fully intend to bring that attitude to the headmin job, I'm not looking for huge sweeping changes but I think I'd be a great headmin to hold the fort.
So, what are my policies?
Admin Choice
Encourage admins to run events
Bring back the events...
I promise that if I am elected headmin I will range ban all of the united kingdom and it's territories
This includes:
United Kingdom
Anguilla
Bermuda
The British Indian Ocean Territory (Chagos Archipelago)
British Virgin Islands
British Chad Islands
The Cayman Islands
The Falkland Islands (Unless they are rightfully returned to the nation of Argentina)
Gibraltar
Montserrat
Pitcairn Island, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands
St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha
any Sovereign Base Areas
South Georgia...
After much deliberation and resentment, I Announce My candidacy For Head Administrator.
I am of the belief that the current system of how |TG| station is governed is far too oligarchical. I intend to change this in a series of sweeping reforms, making the process by which changes to the policy are made, ensuring that the policy is representative of the people it applies to.
In addition, the rules by which the admin's act and how new policy is determined will be written down, published, and made really...

Hello guys my name is Bindy Johal I am the old mcfagstatic of this server and I want you to vote for me.
Original Promises Before:
Remove Gamemaster Role
Remove Inactive Admins
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 population as Summer 2018-2019
Bring back NTR Hut, due to high demand
What are your promises now?
Same shit as above, but some more shit.
- Bring back...
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.
