Why are there bans being handed out for actions taken on other servers?
How is this any different from FriikkiM going on hub servers and maxcap bombing them?
Is it because they screamed "TGSTATION STONG"?
Is it because they seemed to be at least semi-organized?
Why is this an issue in the first place?
Is it made clear in server/community rules that organized griefing in other communities (i.e. raiding) is punishable here?
As a hypothetical and a slippery slope case, what if I'm perma'd from /vg/ for legitimate reasons? Should be worried about that specific ban being mirrored here, or worried about being punished for those specific actions?
As a discussion prompt, to what extent do we, as individuals, and the admins, as policy makers and enforcers, care about other servers and the events which transpire upon them?

Re: Holding Players Accountable for Actions on Other Servers
^ People turning steno into actual policy discussions instead of just shitting up the FNR threads. This is why we got rid of steno.
On topic: Admins are reactive towards 'raiding' shit because it spawns a metric fuckton of server and playerbase drama typically.
It has in the past and even if you mark something as 'harmless' it's still the principle that it usually blows the fuck up into drama and shit flinging that probably makes admins want to expel people who do anything remotely similar to it ASAP.
We want quality players on our servers. Not 'raiders'. Wouldn't you agree that's a fair stance to take? I'm pretty sure Scaredofshadows feels the same way and he has all the right to not want that on his servers.

Re: Holding Players Accountable for Actions on Other Servers
We want to maintain good relations with other servers. Raising a shit on other servers in our name not only damages our relations and image, but also invites them to do the same to us in revenge.
It's just fucking juvenile and retarded. It's not behavior we'd want to endorse, invite, or tolerate.

If it wasn't an invasion-related ban, I'm of the opinion that it should just be written down in your notes. The point is they're not actionable in of itself, but they should be taken into consideration when making judgement calls down the line. Of course, this is could change depending on the severity of what you actually did.As a hypothetical and a slippery slope case, what if I'm perma'd from /vg/ for legitimate reasons?

Re: Holding Players Accountable for Actions on Other Servers
>Why are there bans being handed out for actions taken on other servers?
Because raids reflect REALLY badly on us, and if somebody was using another server to organize raids we'd want them banned from there so they'd stop.
>How is this any different from FriikkiM going on hub servers and maxcap bombing them?
I'd imagine it's mainly because admins got word of it as it was going down.
>Is it because they screamed "TGSTATION STONG"?
That's part of it, yes. It implies that they're deliberately attacking other servers. It implies that /tg/station condones raids.
>Is it because they seemed to be at least semi-organized?
That's part of it, yes. One jackass from somewhere just makes you think they're a jackass. A group of jackasses from somewhere makes you think that place is jackass central. We don't want to be thought of as jackass central if we can help it.
>Why is this an issue in the first place?
Because we don't want to be raid central, and we don't want to be thought of as a community that raids.
>Is it made clear in server/community rules that organized griefing in other communities (i.e. raiding) is punishable here?
Don't be a dick should cover it, and there is precedent for banning people for raiding/organizing raids. This is hardly the first time somebody's been banned for it.
>As a hypothetical and a slippery slope case, what if I'm perma'd from /vg/ for legitimate reasons? Should be worried about that specific ban being mirrored here, or worried about being punished for those specific actions?
If you were acting as a representative of /tg/station (for example, announcing you were from /tg/station of chatting about your /vg/station actions on /tg/station while committing them) when you undertook the action that got you banned or if you appear to be repeating the actions that led to your ban on /vg/station, you'd be at risk of getting banned based on your /vg/station history. If you got perma'd from /vg/station and kept your nose clean on /tg/station it wouldn't carry over.
>As a discussion prompt, to what extent do we, as individuals, and the admins, as policy makers and enforcers, care about other servers and the events which transpire upon them?
As a player, I care about how /tg/station players act on other servers because it directly reflects on /tg/station as a community, and therefore how people perceive me.
As an admin, I care about how players act on other servers because if John Doe has a history of GRIFFYACTION on another server and they're causing problems though GRIFFYACTION on /tg/station, it's a clear sign they're up to no good.

Re: Holding Players Accountable for Actions on Other Servers
Guys c'mon. Raids are Stupid. Sure maybe you don't care about our image, but the issue of reprisals could come up. Consider this. You raid a server, and instead of getting the expected counter raid, the servers get DDOS'd instead. Or something else as, or more, damaging happens. ETC ETC.
You don't know how such things can escalate and it could turn out very badly for our community. Even if you look at it with a self serving outlook, the possibility for things to go badly at home are too much. Oh, and the Admins here may ban you to maintain good relations.
Rule One. Don't be a Dick.

Re: Holding Players Accountable for Actions on Other Servers
Unless they're either a problem player and are known for griefing servers and being a general shit or going on servers griefing, spamming or promoting in the name of /tg/ I don't see why any actions on other servers should be held accountable on /tg/.
appeal me now ok think about it admin u could have a friend a friend who comes down to ur house and listens to ur words but doesnt respond to them because he knows that words are for the weak and physical violence is the superior form of communication but u wont accept this ur scared ur stuck in the prefix of pretification yea thats right ur sitting there stuck to the floor from ur goopy liquid glue sweat unable tro answer the door guess whos there its my friend spooner who is requesting appeal me

And I'm pretty sure he also started the whole thing by bringing up the subject, though I could be very wrong.

Or that guy that blew up Hornygrannys Terraria server?
Or the whole heap of times that shitlers from other servers have been bant pre-emptively from other servers based on their activities on tgstation and other servers?
SS13 has a wider community, its not insular little bubbles, most people here play on other servers as well, as do people on other servers.
If you are going to grief like a shit, at least make sure you aren't anyone worth knowing. or make a new account on a different computer and different IP.
The most excessive signature on /tg/station13.
Still not even at the limit after 8 fucking years.
The evil holoparasite user I can't believe its not DIO and his holoparasite I can't believe its not Skub have been defeated by the Spacedust Crusaders, but what has been taken from the station can never be returned.
