yeaaaaaaaah boi, a thread I can handle.

Gigapuddi420

I don't really understand where OP is coming from on this. The detective is already counted as security under roleplay rules and their sidearm is provided for self defense. So long as his response is proportional to the situation (example: their life is at risk so they shoot to kill) it shouldn't ...

I suspect in both cases players are accountable for their actions but the circumstances of the round might mitigate some of their responsibility.

In both cases players are expected to follow the rules, escalation still applies when dealing with non-antagonists and just because the Captain is the ...

hehe, looking for posters in your thread Maintainer boy? I'll help you out, but it's gonna cost you. Don't worry, you can pay me in bee emoji PRs...

give me the odds on StickyMayhem, if Sticky himself says the chance is 0% because he would refuse put me down for QBMax regardless of whether he's still admin or not. Otherwise all in on Sticky, I want the odds.

I'ma abridge OPs list to the real strat:

1. be a admin

2. the majority* likes you

*admins for admin vote, players for player vote.

Gigapuddi420

all this over spicy wrists. Orange man all is forgiven.

Gigapuddi420

Even if you assume ideal circumstances with dedicated appeal admins it would still be normal for the appeal to take more then a day to resolve. With a day ban you're basically appealing the ban note so it doesn't escalate into a stronger ban down the line.

1. Should there be a intermediary for ...

It's very easy to point to a mechanic like old slips, say "hey isn't that a bit strong, it should be removed for being too strong," and remove it, without ever considering all the fucking awesome stories that came from something as simple as a clown slipping the nuke ops to clinch a victory or ...

I didn't even vote in the last four elections but if I got brain worms and stuck around for another thirty years I'd vote Sticky so he can go back to being a yellowmin like I remember.

Gigapuddi420

you didn't post this at 4am

what

shame

Gigapuddi420

For me it's circumstantial; non-antags need to justify extreme actions with extreme circumstances. Just the fact Revolution is taking place wouldn't be enough, but a revolution that is out of control with little resistance remaining opens up options for severe defense strategies. If your booby trap ...

Gigapuddi420

ban sounds lame, but not really here nor there to policy over a specific ban.

Non-antags should avoid lethal booby traps that innocents could accidentally walk into. I personally think circumstance should allow the possibility of it but the people doing it should try to do it carefully in a way ...

If you trust anyone in the admin system, then you shouldn't have a problem trusting another admin to take a fair look at your case, no?
funny story, but other admins already can look at your case and provide evidence. This has happened both for and against appeals in the past. Sure, the banning ...

Wesoda, I do not understand the answer to the question that was posed. Again: Do you believe that an administrator would never lie or misrepresent you in their case?

May I please remind everyone to keep their tone civil and polite during this discussion.

Gigapuddi420

going to just skip to 4. and say the system is fine as it is.

It's a formal system to try and convince the banning admin to reduce or overturn their own ban, should that fail and you disagree with their verdict the appeal still acts as a place to argue the case and appeal to a higher authority ...

The rulings mainly exist because countless silicon players are just waiting to pop off and go rogue the moment the laws come off. As a result silicons were told that a form of escalation still applies and they shouldn't leap to murderous rage immediately without some kind of provocation. Purging the ...

Another way to know whether someone is cringe or not is to see if they triplepost within 3 minutes on the forum instead of just editing their first post
A sadder line has not been penned then "Super Aggro Crag" was right again.

For what it's worth, I seeing the notification for having a edited ...

The problem with making unauthorized law changes outright 'valid to kill' is that there are circumstances (not even that uncommon) where the crew might take it upon themselves to purge/fix the AI even against Command's wishes. Going against command to do what you think is right might open you up to ...

Gigapuddi420

I've always seen it as highly contextual based on what you are uploading and events of the round. The more annoying and inconvenient the lawset the more likely people are going to use it to escalate against your ass. Uploading benign laws shouldn't be a automatic 'valid to kill' but could easily be ...

it's a safe bet to say most of the smut written about someone else's character exist to elicit a response from that player. After that's established the argument of character vs. player falls apart. If we're talking about making a sexy story about a character popular in ss13, outside of malice I see ...

Gigapuddi420

The common sense way of going about this is that someone can ahelp if they take issue with a sexual portrayal of their character in a book. Admin can then delete the book and let the creator know why it was deleted. Not exactly a grand task for the admins part, is it, and apparently this is already ...

terranaut's sig > Sticky's sig because it's more minimalist. I only see signatures when I'm logged out anyway but fuck huge sigs are the worst.

Still, I rate your sig more then my own Sticky, I'd say it's above average for this forum. Some choice quotes and no scroll bar. Near perfect.

this is more a list of our curses then our crimes. The true British crime is going around to other countries trying to escape Britain and bringing our curse with us.

The /pol/ types here don't create the problems they do on 4chan because of the rules and the lack of anonymity. The toxicity and bigotry they present is already muted. I don't see the need to add more rules to combat it.

I've never seen a ban appeal on doxxing that used the argument that it's not against the rules. Anyone banned for doxxing who wants to appeal it will always argue their actions were not doxx. Everyone intrinsically knows doxxing is shit and if it's confirmed you did it no one in the community will ...

The dogpiling on Rave's platform is ridiculous, almost old Goof levels of people desperately posting their opinion then tying in a loose question trying to look like they are posting in good faith. At least it's not admins doing it this time so I can find it funny instead of embarrassing for the ...

peanuts happened in FNR even with people posting most of their peanut threads in the hut. Those threads weren't exclusively allowed in the hut, it was just the preferred place to put them due to low moderation. They could have been posted in off-topic like they are now.

Gigapuddi420

The hut barely contained peanuts though; it was just more convenient to make a thread commenting on a ban in a unmoderated forum over the other options. People still went into the FNR forum to post their opinions on bans and would get slapped down for their trouble. Hell, some would even get banned ...

Lowkey balanced by the possibility someone could fake cult and cause the chemist to eat shit prematurely, outlier as that might be.

I'm kind of wondering if that's really worth replying to because in many ways it really is that simple. Times change and the overall attitudes people have shift to reflect the new "normal".
