What an easy poll. Will results be posted?

Players already contacted and told to tone it down. Locking and archiving.

As a note, I have 3-day banned him from the server for saying he will jobban someone for some childish reason, to add to the toxic playing complaint. (his complaint was "he didn't set up the singularity!" when in fact, the singularity was set up all shift (by the player in question, no less), and that because he didn't deliver a powercell to atmospherics.)

Let's bring this back.

No. Wait a month.

Give it a cool-down time of like five minutes to discourage spamming Kind of like vox, but without words. Because imagine an AI doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH2HNTKZp_Y

Speaking to Doom about your unban appeal, he has this to say: ADMIN: Doomberg/(Avery Dawkins) (JMP): He griefs several times in a row and, almost minutes after he's permabanned, makes an appeal saying he's changed. ADMIN: Doomberg/(Avery Dawkins) (JMP): Ain't how it works, I don't think. And I agree. For now, I am hesitant to have you come back so quickly after what you done, considering a lot of people died and the round was essentially severely ruined. Maybe in a month my opinion will change, but right now I feel like some time needs to pass before I can accept this. Denied. Please reappeal in a month.

Team based antag roles and wizard makes sense. Changeling is a bit of a grey area but I can see it allowed for day zero.

Thou shalt not have OOC discussion in an IC complaint. You brought OOC into an IC complaint. You weren't even involved into it. You broke the rules. And yet, here you are saying: "The rules are the rules! We're enforcing the rules because we have the authority! I don't need to explain myself to you, and you have issues!" I clearly don't see a problem with what I said, Frances. OOC in IC complaint is not allowed on that subsection of the forum. But. I guess, if you feel like giving the person advice, maybe next time private messaging the player or contacting them on byond. There's a time and a place for everything.

Yes, rules are rules. And you're no exception to them, Frances.

Hello. I am very reluctant to lift this ban, due to the fact you did the same thing two days before you were permabanned. You were told that this was wrong. Then you made a virus. Not any virus, but a virus with Gibbington's. You put a cup of ramen in a public place and asking people to drink from it. You killed up to 16+ people with this outbreak. All as a non-antagonist twice. Even though you're saying you're here for roleplay, your actions reflect more than your words with encouraging people to drink a highly deadly virus in a ramen cup. I am not going to be the one lifting the ban. http://aurorastation.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=3947

Either that or actually making a message show up that the player has disconnected.

I added my piece. I must also say it's absolutely difficult to maintain a server with a rotating population. Fuck, I don't even know a quarter of the regular's story arcs. Imagine trying to make sure 40+ people are roleplaying correctly.

I notice a lot of people getting upset at one another for not adhering to their definition of roleplay. I know the community was asked this many of times, be it past conversations or even your whitelist applications, but I think it's time to ask again because I am genuinely curious of what you all think of as roleplay. What is good roleplay? What is heavy roleplay? If you were giving a new player advice on how to roleplay, what would it be? I'm interested in what you have to say. -- My thoughts. Note, none of what I say is reflected on how other staff members feel, that these are my own musings and opinions. I define roleplaying in SS13 not as a scripted storytelling as I've seen some roleplays go, but an impromptu improv with an personalized avatar. That in itself makes it a bit more unique as the usual chatroom roleplay relies heavily on the imagination of characters unless there was a portrait done. Some may see the pixels as lazy character design, as there's only so much that can be customized within a 32x32 format, but if anyone remembers the ye olden days of SS13 spritework: I say where we are heading is a damn well improvement. Which moves on to what is heavy roleplaying and good roleplaying. Let's take a look at the words "Heavy Roleplay". I've seen people define it as many things, but from what I've seen, the most agreed upon definition is roleplaying a character more seriously and keeping in character 100% of the time, not breaking out of roleplay unless for a good reason. This presents a problem as some players just want to play the game but expect people to stay in character constantly. Things such as tabling one another, whispering memes, forming a mass of one people on a single tile and the like are frowned upon in this definition of Heavy Roleplay. Stepping outside as an admin for a moment, I want to express that I don't really want to shit on anyone's day. People play this game for fun. And from what I've seen, those who most criticize people for not doing 'heavy roleplay' still do these things anyway. For what is good roleplay, good roleplay is extremely subjective. Good roleplay to me be different from good roleplay that, hell I dunno, TheIguanaman2 likes. Sometimes you get the people that thinks a certain player isn't roleplaying well which is sometimes true but often times comes with the feeling that the player is godmodding how things should have went down. And for advice...the most important thing about roleplaying is to have fun. And if you're not having fun, step back and evaluate why. This may be a roleplaying server, but it's also a game too. Also another advice, it does your mind well to take breaks. If your mad or stressed out, it's okay to step back and take a break.

Now I don't understand where you are getting that admins interfere with DOs, their decisions, ect. But it's certainly not true from what I seen. If they have to go on station, we arrange to have people spawn in to be their ERT escort. We tell them if the round type is good to board. Because DOs on a nuke ops round would be absolutely difficult to do a report considering the nature of how we apparently play nuke. That's the jist of what we do. That's the extent of administration help they receive. Moderators have no way to go onto DOsay. Jennalele and Tishiniastalker are more closely involved with the duty officers, but that's it. If you have any proof in any form that there's something a muck, I implore you to post it to Gollee or Doomberg, or hell, in this thread ASAP. Because you can say "admins are purposefully try to inhibit duty officers" until you're blue in the face, but unless you got some sort of evidence suggesting it, you're blowing nothing but smoke.

Today is the day you get banned

Commit suicide.

The deal is done. I will leave this open until tomorrow.

I will lift your ban in twenty-four hours under the premises you will be on a month probationary period. What this entails is that you promise you will not severely break our rules in any way, shape, or form pertaining to the reasons why you were banned. This also means you will be monitored a bit more closely while in-game. If for any reason you keep interrupting OOC by posting sexual content, another ban will be placed upon you without chance to appeal for a year. Do you agree with these sets of conditions?

If I unban you, we're not going to have these incidents again, right?
