Honestly in general how is this not just ruining the round for everyone else and just breeding an unhealthy environment?
Really, seriously.
I'm not interested in the semantics of this in the slightest.
Nor do I care if there is a pattern to someone doing this or not. If someone willfully ruins a round for literally everyone else, that is beyond my ability to condone, and I'm more than willing to put them in the dumpster.
Condoning it as a 'because they can' or 'because it doesn't have 800 supporting documents' regardless of the damage it causes / has already done is how it becomes a problem that will have to be solved reactively instead of proactively -- it'll become just another fire to have to put out when everyone dips from the server,
yet again.
If the only reason someone is playing antag or ss13 overall is to have an experience where their fun is the only priority like it's a single player experience, I kindly invite them to sit on an ejection seat and get launched into space where they can contemplate the meaning of empathy.
No one hops on this game with the intention of joining a mass low pop grave, they'll just leave and go to another server where they will get to have fun. Player disconnects and observer retention are valuable statistics worth considering here, and if this was a serious enough problem then, then why hasn't something happened to prevent it now? How can the server be expected to gain traction if it just gets put on repeat?
Targeting continual cases by people specifically in an environment where 8 different people can still do it is still ruining 8 seperate rounds (which could last for hours overall), regardless of whether or not there is a pattern to it. I have a hard time seeing the solution in place currently being effective.
In fact it might end up just like this in practice:

Low pop murderbone is one of the most shitty things you can do, i have seen alot of "interns" that try to learn basic controls there, only to get killed by some guy who broke into armory to arm themselves with every weapon available AND had ordered more guns from cargo
On some days it was so bad we had a murderboner every round and it killed pop entirely for the night
