I insulted the thread, not the players. Let me list the way in which this thread is a dumpster fire:
- Pretending like you have any significant degree of support for these changes.
- Pretending that even if you DID have significant support, that we'd be forced to enact them.
- Cherry-picking miniscule parts of replies to try to validate your points while completely ignoring everything else.

This whole thread is a toxic garbage circlejerk between two players who think they know better than everyone else.

People abusing sending buttfaxes to Centcom because they want to get cluwned. We've started catching on to them, and they don't quite get what they want anymore.

Perhaps some more consideration should be made to the time-zones of admins. Usually I find that there are either a large number or next to none on at once.
This is definitely something as is being looked at internally and is part of our criteria in the selection of new Trialmins.
-
Between the new delisting system and our policies, I feel like this thread is much ado about nothing. Much more critical is putting in place map and gameplay changes to support the new reality of 150 player peaks with 100 player averages. THAT is what is needed most.

We're already looking at a cyberneticist position that would handle bionic and robotic limb / organ upgrade, implants and the like. This idea is redundant in that context.
-
I'm not looking to personally hamper your choice of RP, but for the sake of simplicity it's easier if we have a single policy that is easily enforceable across the board. It's a whole lot better than having to judge your backstory's quality to make sure you fit into an exception, which is much more subjective.
-
If we want to aim for medium RP, rules should fit with the lore we're trying to enforce.
IPCs, Vox, Greys and Plasmamen get away from having only a single name, as long as the name fits the lore.
All other species need 2 names, and players for the most part pick lore-appropriate names, but we're much more lenient on the names fitting lore. Some players take a phonetic approach to their alien name: Ssshardor Ssshassssh while other pick a human 'translation': Love-To-Hug. Both are thematically appropriate.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we're looking at clarifying the naming rules now, but remember that at the end of the day the admins are the final arbiters of what constitutes an appropriate name. He was fully in the right to ask you to pick a last name.

And if you mean to turn your human body into a monkey, well, you're reverting to a lesser life-form. Your brain DOES change, as does every single other molecule of your anatomy.

One possibility is to limit the amount of ACTIVE secborgs during a round. So if there's more than X, the option to choose that loadout doesn't appear to a new borg. If individual sec borgs are OP, then we need to concretely identify the ways they are, and find ways to adjust the power level of the specific module.
Removing them completely is throwing the baby out with the bathwater and a terrible knee-jerk reaction to a possibly legitimate concern.

Which contradicts with everything that has happened so far. The AI told them to wait a bit, right when I printed the board, and the other officers were going to ask me to come to sec. There was only one officer keen on doing everything to catch me, BEFORE the HoS even told him anything.
Just to make things clear. The AI does not order security around. It gives suggestions and recommendations, but it is NOT in the Chain of Command. This part of your argument is invalid.
-
Actually we've had a hour-long discussion of the situation on staff Discord and decided we needed to clarify Wiki, Rules, SoP and such for the AI. It's on our short-term to-do list, so something positive did come out of this situation.
And I agree, the reaction was a bit harsh. Your way of handling it would've likely been just as effective. Apologies for that.

I get the gibber from the chef, handle cloning effectively (meaning people can easily find their gear once cloned). All other dead bodies that cannot be cloned get stripped into the bottom left morgue tray and then thrown in the gibber. Meat gets added back to cloner for biomass. Skin is kept so I can make myself a skin suit and become a Real Human Boy. It might not be elegant, but it sure is effective and noone has to wait for cloning because Dr. Death decided to have a 30 minute autopsy circlejerk with himself. It's really good RP, but usually there's noone there to witness it and you just end up gumming up the works.
If it's a boring round, I'll take all the unclaimed gear and open up a Used Item Store from the morgue.
Edit: This is the EFFECTIVE way to play it with current pop. It would be great to have the leisure to perform long autopsies, but I feel getting players back into the round as quickly as possible is more important. Maybe if we ever overhaul cloning/morgue, there will be a possibility for both.

"homeboy has a horse in this race for sure" sure seems like you're implying that the admin who banned you is black.
Keep your bigotry off of Paradise. If you can't figure out what you did wrong, then this 1340 day old (a little over 3 and a half years) community is better off without you.
This whole complaint is mildly retarded (in a clinical sense!)

The admin intervention happened because by breaking SoP and telling off the Captain, he was about to go down there and deactivate you himself, which would have led to you personally unbalancing the rest of the round for OOC rulebreaking. This was a simpler way to handle it and stop you from derailing what what left of the round. If you want the ability to decide when the shuttle gets called, play Captain next time not AI. The only reason you weren't BOINKED and have it handled as OOC rulebreaking was because it made more sense to keep the round going organically. You still ahelped about it and an OOC explanation was given.
-
Still not your call to make as AI when there is most of a full active ERT team and a Captain alive. Supercop means you ignored a direct order from the Captain, and ignored the authority of the ERT sent directly from Centcom. That's about the definitation of a rogue AI, no matter if your intentions were pure.
-
1. You call shuttle, Captain recalls it and sends an announcement saying SoP says that only ERT are authorized to call it at this point.
2. You send an announcement saying: "I don't give a shit about Captain or SoP. I'm calling the shuttle anyways." and call the shuttle again.
At this point you are breaking your law 2, to obey the orders of the crew, which precedes your argument that you are protecting the crew which is law 3.
You are also acting like a supercop AI which was never allowed on the server, except under very specific lawsets. AIs are subservient to command, otherwise they are malfunctioning.
Centcom terminates your employment since you are malfunctioning.

LTH - I have many problems with how you go about arguing your point. As Neca said, taking things out of context is a big no-no, as is flooding a thread with replies trying to shove your point down people's throat or simply drowning out any differing opinion. Lastly I'm pretty sure I've seen some brigading from you.
All those things make it way, way harder for the decision makers to actually take what you say at face value because the signal to noise ratio just isn't there. Sure you're clearly passionate about your viewpoints, but you need to remember that you are just one voice in a community of thousands.
tl;dr: Get off your high horse and learn to contribute in a more productive manner.

The downside of this is anything that detracts from sec arresting and then processing prisoners leads to calls of shitcurity because someone arrested has to spend 20 minutes from getting cuffed to getting sentenced, and then whatever the punishment is. Giving more tools to the detective is a great idea and if their job becomes involved enough maybe even having a 2nd detective on station at 80+ population, but having all of sec play detective, or giving any excuse for the detective to act like security detracts from the uniqueness of the role.
