Seth's behaviour was basically using a lag machine multiple round [...]
I'm not omnipresent. This is the first time I've seen this contraption in actual action, the round previous had a 210 (!!)-condenser chain that got somebody into hot shit by another admin. Even then, I was having dinner and was idle for most of the round.
Scriptis, did you ask Seth why he wanted to do the condenser chain? Did you know they caused lag before that?
Judging by the fact that he had the thing in a holofirelock box in a secluded corner of the station (ordnance), it's reasonable to assume it was to test its efficacy for cooling.
I personally have tried using bulk condensers to cool the supermatter engine. It's not the dumbest thing I've seen, and I encourage players to push the game's systems to their limits--as long as it's not hurting anybody, like the grief it caused the round prior. In this case, it didn't look like it was an issue.
I didn't know anything about what else he had done prior other than somebody getting bopped over it, but the condenser chain this round wasn't nearly as impactful (or laggy) as the one prior.
Ah, with that context, I could say you made the decision to allow Seth to do that in good faith.
The problem was that Seth was trying to do something that caused lag, though with fewer condensers, and I believe the lag was client-side due to having to load so much, so it wouldn't have been notice on the server itself.
There's also the assertion that he did it multiple rounds with lag, but I don't have the details.
EDIT: So I looked into last round and it turns out Seth knew about the 200-condenser monstrosity and logs implied he MADE IT.
