i am jonathan "xemo" thebiblemelts, hostvote of the current term - and ageless mummified creature who's had a history with this server as both a player and administrator for over a decade running. i can typically be found lurking in the nightmares of players and administrators alike for my vile shitposting, or in my laboratory concocting fun new ways to torment people with clowns and other tools that i am afforded from my position.
what does it want
i want to continue my work with trimming down our rules, modernizing our precedents and discarding irrelevant bloat from both the main rules page and beyond - speaking of bloat, i also intend to keep up with regular admin inactivity sweeps.
additionally, a big goal has been to promote as much unity of the /tg/station community as i can, both with the coding team through open communication and collaboration, and continue discouraging the manner of brainworms that causes some toxic tribalism to develop in both players and admins alike. we should all be on team spaceman.
what has it done
starting with something mentioned above, i have worked to try and make our rules more concise, easier to read and use, and less intimidating to follow. here's the size of our first rules page before my term began.
continue trimming the rules, continue adapting/meshing our IC and OOC policies where possible (ex. the space law change), keep policy threads and appeal forums as clean as i can, and when necessary, investigate and make sure that if a harsh punishment is required on certain members of the community (deadminning admins, QC'ing players) for the health of /tg/station at large, due respect and time are put into the process to ensure that it is the correct move. i mention this last part mostly because it feels like my term has had a lot of clean-up in that regard, which, while extremely difficult, has resulted in a less caustic environment for our players overall. thanks for reading.
late edit: oh i also really dug using policybus to feel out changes that i thought would impact the community at large, and enjoyed incorporating the ideas and opinions of the people who participated into them. i'd like to use it more as a way to involve the community as a whole in things.
even later edit: i'm also going to create a Head of Appeals role and duct tape timberpoes to it for as long as his ember burns.
