SweaterKittens is my admin candidate, so perhaps I'm biased, but they always promoted good RP and had a strong mind for what's fair and isn't. I'm glad to see them doing well.

Here's my story about KittenSweater which I'll also be posting in the general

For starters Kitten answered my prayer for a TC trade. Then he turned me into a chaos carp. Already I like him because most admins won't do that. Then I asked him if he could spawn a radio and turn it on so I could carry it around and talk to the station. A lot of admins would have just ignored my request but he didn't. He even spawned into space next to me just to pick it up and turn it on. (Of course he became a pile of bones after). After about 20 minutes of me smashing up the station he tells me that the priest has started worshiping carp. I ask him to tell the priest an angel is coming and again, he does. When I get to the chapel I find it full of carp suits (His doing I assume) and 3 people who start worshiping me and asking to become carp. I say some flowery speech and then ask him if he can make the three worshipers into regular space carp. And he does it! After we go around destroying the station and he making Lia sentient we eventually die. For a final act he spawns ~25 space carp and mega carp into Centcom, spawning me as the only chaos magicarp so they could recognize me. We then reclaimed space for Carp-Sie.

A lot of admins rarely seem to change anything in the game that much due to fears it would make the the round too different but it's actually a good thing. It breaks up the staleness. KittenSweater is a great Trialadmin


Give him the :capid:
Thanks, Kev.

Made a real effort to engage with the playerbase and polled opinion before messing with stuff with admin powers, administrated like a pro.

I didn't have a direct interaction with him during yesterday, but I was really happy with what I saw of him in OOC/in general.

I've been skeptical of him due to some stuff near the start of his trial but he's are doing lots of good work (for one the silicon policy rewrite was excellent) and seems really open to feedback. I think he's been doing a really good job sort of redeeming himself in my eyes (even if it was indirectly) and I'm optimistic for him to improve further. I suspect by the time he's up for review I'll have a fully positive outlook for him.

Sweaterkittens,
I come to post in this thread not out of malice, but out of genuine concern
and I make a point of saying that because I fear that you will misinterpret my intentions here and perhaps get angry

but you seem to form a lot of big ol' hateful grudges on certain people in and around the community, and they get quite volatile
some examples would be Pax, and oranges
and I get it, I do. There's a lot of people to dislike around here. but you seem to get very invested in hating the people that you do.
and there's a problem there, because it starts to seem like you're going out of your way to be vile towards the people you don't like. From the outside looking in, it looks sometimes like you become very petty and do things just to spite these people.
I'm not saying that it's your intention, perhaps you aren't aware of it, but please understand; I've heard people talk about this, I've talked to people about this, this is just the way it looks.
I'm worried that it could color your actions in an administrative capacity. I'm more worried that it already has. Pax and oranges are only two examples.
I mean, heck, there are some players that I'd sure like to be rotten to. But you just gotta step outta that and be a big boy.

I hope you read this and understand that I'm coming here as a concerned comrade, and not an enemy
have a good day

I appreciate your concern, and I understand where you're coming from. I know you're not saying what you're saying out of malice.

I think it's important that you know that I never grew up or spent a lot of time in 4chan or similar communities until recently. Until I started playing SS13 and got involved here, I never spent any significant amount of time around people that freely call each other faggots and racial slurs, and tell each other to kill themselves as a joke. It's still very foreign to me when I see people being what I would consider incredibly malicious to one another and then act like it's normal. As a result, I find a lot of that sort of behavior really appalling, and have a very, very low tolerance for it and the people who engage in it.

I got involved here because I really do love this game. I have a lot of great memories here and I enjoy doing what I can to improve the server and foster a positive atmosphere for everyone. Because I want to improve the server, I do take a more aggressive approach when I feel as though people are detrimental to it. I realize that it may come across as a grudge, but it's because I don't suddenly change my opinion on someone without them doing something to warrant that. If I believe that someone is truly detrimental to the server, I can't just ignore it - otherwise I wouldn't have become an admin in the first place.

I really do get what you're saying though, and I'll do my best to take it to heart.

You'll have to excuse me if I don't take feedback seriously from someone who's told me to kill myself, and was recently bragging about being such utter shit to me that I lost interest in being involved with the server.

On topic, I understand what you're saying but I disagree with it. I will never be in a position where I would think that telling people to unironically kill themselves or being purposely malicious to others out of boredom is okay. I got involved here because I love this game and I want everyone to have a good time here. If the headmins find that they want to let that sort of awful behaviour slide then they're welcome to remove me from the team. That's not how I was raised and I will not compromise my beliefs regarding being a decent human beings to each other.

That's not what I said though, They said they're out of touch themselves, you don't think it's a problem that they admit they're not in touch with the server culture and that they don't intend to change that? Your confusion is understandable, since you appear to also be out of touch with the community.

also what's the point of having me on ignore if you're going to respond to my posts anyway?

Being an utter cunt or being shitty is a subjective thing though, especially in a game that encourages and even requires people to be in conflict with one another.

It's not as self evident as you guys are making it out to be. "I'm stopping bad people" is not a blanket justification without any context.

For example: A corrupt sec officer arming assistants and having them smash department windows to demand protection money might be grief or an interesting roleplay opportunity, depending on who you ask and who it happens to. But Sweaterkittens has previously said they would ban people for perceived rulebreaking whether or not their "victim" wanted the aggressor banned, even if the "victim" outright stated they enjoyed the situation.

I think SK is specifically referring to the near constant shitting on people OOC, people often using racial slurs, etc. etc.

maybe I misunderstood, but I really didn't get the impression that they meant IC actions

This is all taken out of context. Sweaterkittens in their post was specifically talking about 4chan culture or whatever, and it's safe to say that the server has drifted away from that community in the past couple years. So it's not synonymous with "server culture" and how someone feels about /b/ has no correlation either way on how they admin. In fact, it literally can't be about any of their recent behavior as an admin, as they'd taken a break.

Now that would be an interesting rp prospect, however money is hard or impossible to get, and it is practically useless too.

For feeback I think that they have potential to be a good admin, but there is some of the issues stated above.

No. Qbopper. But i personally believe that Admins should reach a stronger consensus regarding important issues, rulings, and how to handle them, if they hope to administrate more efficiently. As it stands it's like a box of chocolates. "You never know what you're gonna get.". There are rules, but they're enforced differently and it can lead to players on both sides having issues with how it was handled or even being upset because Admin A handled it poorly in their opinion whereas Admin B would've done something else in that situation. I'm not about to say that the Admin team should behave like a courtroom. I feel that would be extreme and un-fun for the parties involved. But really, i personally believe it might be more effective to at-least have some consistency in how offenses are punished, regardless of the Admin involved. It's my understanding that courtrooms will base their sentencing based off past cases of the issue occuring. If the first guy got imprisoned for 10 years, the future offenders will get a minimum of 10.

The way it currently is could lead. and in my opinion, has personally lead to an issue where Admin A has banned Player A for breaking rules. but Admin B has left Player B off free/with a warning when Player A a-helped them for the same exact crime.
Yeah, there might be a reason on the Admins part for it. But in the end, at least in this hypothetical situation, it's the exact same offense. Nothing is different between both cases.

Anyways, what i said isn't in an implication that people should be robotic. It meant i was more concerned for the fact that apparently not many other admins would care if a player outright told another player to "Kill themselves" among other things. like Sweaterkittens apparently does.

I don't think there's much of a good excuse for being a dick OOCly. Yet i haven't seen a single admin do anything about it, sans muting OOC from time to time when it gets really bad. I've seen lots of things and I've personally been attacked in rather insulting, over-the-top ways, too. In my personal experience, if you A-help this asking them to tell the player to at-least tone it down, you'll be met with some "Man up" response. Make no mistake, i don't want a safe space. But i just don't think those comments are acceptable as a player. And i don't see why Admins would think otherwise, As a human being.

But, we / I am getting a little off-topic. Here.

You don't really get the exact same offence twice, I think most of us would like to believe that the game is complex and situations can differ in many details.
Also, intent matters as much as what went down, yet intent is hard to quantify and the judgement can depend on player history.
And requiring total admin consensus would be difficult and not necessarily healthy. Many people play this game for many things, if administration was reduced to a flowchart then I believe you'd get a dumbed down experience in the game.

Well, yeah, that's what happens when you make a comment about a person specifically, I'm not sure what you expected

that's all well and good and many people agree, but until someone has a concrete idea of what/how to do this, there's little to say

As it stands it's like a box of chocolates. "You never know what you're gonna get.".

even in your courtroom example, context matters, it's not as simple as applying a blanket punishment to anyone committing an offense

The way it currently is could lead. and in my opinion, has personally lead to an issue where Admin A has banned Player A for breaking rules. but Admin B has left Player B off free/with a warning when Player A a-helped them for the same exact crime.

except we don't have the context - what id player B had an actual reason to break that rule? What if player A's ban was rule 0/1, and admin B doesn't think it falls under "being a dick"?

I think there's an extent where you have to shrug it off or take it as a joke, and I say that as someone who is pretty sensitive about that sorta shit

I think telling someone to kill themselves is the pinnacle of lazy and shitty humor, but if we tried to tell people to knock it off we'd be swamped with even more shit to handle and the drama would be immense

I personally think the best kind of OOC moderation is to just take peoples intention into account - I don't care if you call someone a racial slur when you're among friends andclearly just joking, but a lot of people just unironically use them as insults and it's not healthy for a community, imo


But, we / I am getting a little off-topic. Here.

yeah this has wildly derailed
