Detailed summary:
I'll go ahead and make this clear that I am biased, as Nabski and I did not get along well IC or OOC before or since he became an admin.
As it stands right now, I do not believe Nabski to be a good admin.
Here are the admin rules of conduct I believe he has broken (https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Admin_Conduct / https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3509)
Rules wrote:Don't be a hypocrite. If you're doing something you'd normally ban someone for doing, you're breaking this.
Beesting put this pretty well, so I'll quote him.

It's so obvious he does this, it's a hard tell for even the players that whenever nabski is moving after roundstart and is deadminned, he's an antagonist. It's a funny joke when used on Imsxz, who actually plays the game as a nonantagonist and just happens to get a lot of ghost antags. It's not funny when it's actually something the admin does.
The Rules wrote:Don't spam sounds and events. If you're queuing sounds one after the other, or if you're running an event every day, you're doing it too often.
Frequently runs multiple events per day. As stated by Nabski himself: https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... 52#p437499
Said events included hand picking multiple people to become blood-brothers (https://tgstation13.org/parsed-logs/bas ... und-91746/), spawning wizards/mech/ERT in the same round as another admin forced clown ops (https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... 52#p411466), and generally pushing the create antag buttons a whole bunch.
The Rules wrote:Do not interfere or try to add your own spice to events run by other admins.
Referring back to https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... 52#p411466 , Nabski added onto a clown op round that another admin had forced. Instead of improving the round or salvaging it, Nabski simply spawned more things until the round ended.
The Rules wrote:Maintain professional conduct both in game and outside of the game. It is expected that you take the position seriously. This doesn't mean you can't talk casually to the playerbase, but remain professional on the forums, as well as on other Space Station 13 communities.
https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... 54&t=16275 As referenced in this complaint. Lack of investigation, and brushed the ahelp off because the ahelper was an antagonist and was cloned.
https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19524 Not taking the round's circumstances into consideration for the ban. Stated that the banned person said "wew what a kill", then backtracked and said that he had said that himself. "wew what a kill" does not appear anywhere in the logs for that round.
Additionally, Nabski isn't taking the appeal seriously at all, and his ban directly contradicts the rules.

The Rules wrote: Don't cheat. Do not use admin powers for your own benefit. Don't use your powers to abuse other players.
Above all, you're here to keep the game fun and fair for the players.
I want to focus on the bolded part here, and also refer back to the BeeSting quote.
So Nabski is pretty well known for antag rolling and going afk when he isn't an antag. As a player before he was an admin, this is what he did pretty often. Now that he is an admin, he can use the excuse of adminning to cover his antag rolling.
In addition, I'll posit that on rounds in which he is not antag, Nabski will spawn antags to entertain himself.
More quotes from Beesting because they're much better t conveying what I want to say.
As for general adminning, here are several instances in which his administrative duties are of questionable quality.BeeSting12 wrote:Nabski also doesn't seem to understand the rules are a rough guideline for admins to follow, and that we should be enforcing the spirit over the exact wording. Two of his most recent bans (banning hathkar for SM suicide as a borg in the last minute of the round and banning sharksie for two days over justified borg blowing) are just indiscriminate application of the rules (in the latter case, incorrect) without taking into account the round's circumstances or the player's point of view.
Additionally, Nabski apparently likes to push what he wants the rules to be rather than what the rules actually are. Most recently, the thing about going out of his way to tell people off for usage of the word rape, and the "no nicknames" thing even though it's specifically allowed in naming policy.
If this was a small isolated instance on another admin, I wouldn't complain so much. However, this consistent hamfisted use of admin tools does not benefit the server or players. These things might not be complaint worthy on their own, but when a chain of incidents like these happen with the same admin, it's time for the admin to go. Waiting for a huge incident to get rid of them or demoting them to a trial is a mistake- the former takes forever to happen and it's not very hard to be a good boi for two months as a trial so you get promoted. It's unlikely anything will come of this post, but I sincerely hope Nabski takes this as a wake up alarm to fix his adminning.
