here's some cleanups i just did.
Roundstart suicide Don't do it as an important role, and if it happens too often, you can be banned. May 04, 2015 KorPhaeron
baked into rule 1 and 5 rewrites.
Lynching for erotica on comms Lynching for reading smut and spamming, especially on comms, is always okay. It also makes the reader nonhuman in silicon eyes. Aug 16, 2017 PKPenguin321
we end up banning for being overtly sexual with things these days anyway, and i don't think we'll ever run into a case of an admin banning somebody for killing someone for doing it.
Forcing team antags to betray their team Can't do it. Jul 06, 2017 Ausops
covered by the rule 4 rewrite.
The "MMI test" for changelings Killing someone, removing their brain, and placing it in an MMI for the explicit purpose of determining whether or not someone is a changeling is considered an exploit. Dec 05, 2021 Dragomagol
fixed by code, lings can speak through their mmi'd brain while also being in their body now
Pile on ick ock Pile on ick ock is defined as a bunch of people teasing someone for IC in OOCing. It's okay until it crosses the line into being spam. Admins can mute OOC/individual players if it gets to that point. Sep 24, 2017 Ausops
bullying people like this is funny and a good way to have people police/reinforce not to ic in ooc without an admin needing to step in for minor cases.
Are spiders bound to the mother? Unless there's a message saying you are, the answer is no. Sep 11, 2017 Armhulenn
spiders are now bound to their broodmothers both by the new code allowing broodmothers to set objectives, and by the rule 4 rewrite.
Fortifying security roundstart Barriers roundstart are not allowed, flashers are allowed, giving out guns/armor roundstart is allowed. Sep 02, 2014 HornyGranny
this felt outdated from when the crew didn't have a million means to break into places. i think there was only a single RCD on the station, period, when this ruling was made. now you can print them at lathes, so even a bunch of r-walls won't completely shut counterplay down if someone fortifies an area.
Gulagging should not be equivalent to a regular brig sentence. We have agreed that gulagging is fine as it is, and anything you can complain about is probably an issue with them as a security player rather than something we can act on. You are free to ahelp if you think the punishment is harsher than it should be, but it's difficult to pinpoint whether or not it's fair without an actual case, which should probably be handled by admins in-game instead of policy. Aug 25, 2019 Wubli
this ruling is just "adminhelp if you think you're being abused", which should be done, but isn't really worth an entire ruling on the page to have.
Silicons and harm in situations where you can't tell if they're being harmed or not. Use common sense to decide if harm is going on. Jan 22, 2015
ruling: "use common sense", there is nothing to work with here for reference, we should be asking people if common sense applied anyway during a ticket.
AIs asking for law changes An Asimov silicon cannot ask their laws to be changed. Jun 06, 2015 HotelBravoLima
this is going to just move to silicon policy for visibility.
Do caks remember past lives? Yes. Not really silicon policy but it's related to MMIs/borging. Jan 13, 2017 KorPhaeron
we don't need an entire ruling on caks. we already enforce that you don't remember anything after your death, which includes being killed and having your brain put into a cat. if it's still your characters physical brain, it has your memories.
Validity when killing pets If you perform an action which has zero benefit to you other than making others upset (like killing Ian) I will ban you if you adminhelp when someone kills you. Dec 30, 2017 KorPhaeron
baked into rule 1 rewrite.
Cutting down christmas trees/general asshole behavior for no reason If you perform an action which has zero benefit to you other than making others upset (like chopping down the Christmas trees while they’re enabled) I will ban you if you adminhelp when someone kills you. Dec 26, 2018 Nervere
baked into rule 1 rewrite.
