If the AI is being problematic in terms of access, then you are encouraged to ahelp. The high importance areas (mentioned in law 1) are clearly defined in the station procedures and there is also a clarification what authorised means on the wiki: As for who actually counts as "authorized" in relation to law 1 and 4, they'd be the following: Persons who have direct access to an area (a security office having access to most of security, as an obvious example). Persons who have been authorized to enter an area by someone with direct access. Emergency responders (EMTs, engineers, etc.) who are responding to an ongoing emergency in the area, relevant to their job.

To clear something up: We plan to monitor how this PR works out over the coming weeks (as usual) and plan to make changes to it if needed.

The qualifications of the detective and the FT were the same before this change. The only difference was the cadetship. (So they were directly copied over, with the only change to the qualifications being the optional cadetship) There is the expectation that the Investigators are able to perform basic forensic work (Fibers/Prints/DNA). Depending on how this change works out, there might be further changes to the qualifications.

The Detective and Forensic Technician have been merged into the Investigator role. To accommodate characters lacking the 4 week cadetship (that was previously required for the detective) while maintaining the ability (of the detective) to detain people (if the Investigator directly witnesses a infraction) the following change is now in effect: Investigators who do not have a 4 week cadetship on their employment and security records and detain someone can be charged with: "Illegal Detention, Arrest, or Holding" Investigators who utilize their firearms outside of self-defense and do not have a 4 week cadetship on record can be charged with: "Gross Negligence" For example. If a Investigator without a 4 week cadetship stuns a person with their sidearm and detains them, they are to be charged with "Illegal Detention" and "Gross Negligence"

The poll is finished. Those are the results after a bit of cleanup: I dont care: 22 Yes - Merge the detective and FT into the Investigator: 88 No - Keep the roles as they are: 38

We generally require a person to be reasonable active on our GitHub repo before we extend a staff position to them. Given the nature of GitHub, you do not need to be a staff member to contribute, as everyone is free to create a pull request with the changes that they want to make. I recommend to check out #code_dungeon on our public discord if you need help with GitHub/git (The people there are generally helpful).

Seconding the vote for dismissal. The capability to get slugs is needed in certain circumstances. If security goes straight up for slugs (without it being clear that their other weapons/ammunition is ineffective) then you should ahelp that.

Voting for dismissal. Not everything needs to / should be emag-able, especially if there are already ways for antags to bypass the systems in place. In this case it would be as simple as replacing the pin. (Replacement pins are available via the uplink, cargo and around security)

The first thing I would recommend is to use the already established department-colours for the base: (Medical borgs in the following image) The second concern could be addressed by adding some manipulators to it.

Posting ban-appeals on the aurora-forums is not a possibility when the discord server is not managed by the aurora staff team as it is a different "administrative domain" that is unrelated to the procedures that are in place for the rest of the Aurora Community.

I am not a huge fan of that because: The sprite does not fit into our lineup of current borg sprites I am unsure if the hologram is backed by lore (as there seem to be no other manipulators, which means that the hologram would have to emulate all the "usual" manipulators the borgs have.

AI whitelist applications are possible starting today. The whitelist will be activated on 2021-03-01.

BYOND key: arrow768 Discord name/id: Arrow768#3092 Borg / AI names: Foxtrott, default names. Have you read the Aurora wiki page about the AI?: Yes Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: To continue playing AI after the whitelist is enabled, because it is a unique and interestring role. Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? A few warnings over the years, but nothing too recent. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes

The GitHub Ban has been lifted.

I’ll look into that when I get home.

Application Process / Requirements The AI-Whitelist application consists of the application on this forum and a Discord interview. You will be contacted by the whitelist team to arrange the discord interview Once the discord interview has been started, you must answer the questions in a timely manner. In order to obtain the whitelist, you must be in good standing (no recent administrative actions) and have no recent history of bad AI-/Borg-play and/or valid-hunting. Only post finished apps. Incomplete or WIP apps will be deleted. Whitelist Removal The AI-Whitelist can (and will be) removed by failing to uphold the standards put in place for AIs The AI-Whitelist can be removed if you receive too many administrative actions. Any temporary ban, job ban or permanent ban will result in the whitelist being removed. If you disagree with the removal, create a staff complaint. Format

Moving to general as that is neither a mechanical nor a policy suggestion and therefore does not belong in the suggestions forum.

Should be lifted. See if you are able to connect again.

From the forum rules: If you dont have any interest to actually remove security and just want to discuss it with the wider community, the suggestion forum is the wrong place. Therefore moving it to general

Voting for dismissal. The Odin is not, and was never designed to be used by players for a prolonged amount of time. In addition, there is no "punishment" for dying. You are able to respawn with a different character after 20 minutes of time. In addition, the Odin will not exists in its current form on the NBT, so any effort put into any development of it would be wasted at this time.

It is already possible with some effort. You can just order a dummy mob from cargo and put their id and a jumpsuit on it. Then that dummy-mob will register on the suit sensor console with the name from the ID card. There is also another method available, but I´ll leave that to you to figure out ICly Given that this is already possible, voting for dismissal.

I have to echo the concerns from Matt. Being a moderator, maintainer and developer is a pretty big commitment already. In addition you returned to Aurora less than 3 weeks ago. Given that short timeframe I can not support the application at this time.

Moving to policy suggestions as this pertains to a current ic policy.

It is established practice that we never found the need to write down specifically as it is very rare that someone tries to make a staff complaint over a staff complaint. Accounting for all possible eventualities in our rules would just cause needless bloat. As a closing note: This is a private server/community, so we have the capability to choose the people we want to have in our community. A decision has been made that we do not want you in our community for engaging in jokes about doxxing/swatting people and possibly the actual activity of doxxing/swatting people.

You can make a staff complaint to get a ban reviewed and you can make a staff complaint to get that decision reviewed. The option to make staff complaints ends there. (As otherwise one could try to make a staff complaint over every follow up decision that does not go in their favor) Therefore closing this topic without further action.
