SS13/Space Station 13 Thread: DOOMSTATION WHEN? edition

Somebody did that. But that isn't the issue. The issue is the administration every time we have a server.
The problem is a split of users of the site, more or less, that gets exemplified in SS13. See, a good, large-sized portion of us have a hatred for authority, a rather large hankering for freedom or otherwise limited rules, and a rather heavy-handed hatred of named individuals. These guys do not handle perceived abuse well.
The thing is, those people above, they never run servers themselves. They don't like to. They don't want to be authority, they don't want to enforce or make rules. So, it's stuck to the second largest lot here, the kind of bootlickers who love authority– but only when it's their authority. They're the kind of guys with dreams of stepping on perceived problems, who don't see the point in a strict code or clear definition of rules. They see a thing they deem to be a "problem", their reaction is to immediately stamp on it until it goes away. Easiest example of these types are from Holla Forums, but frankly, everywhere has them. They're the 2nd largest population of users, that I've seen. These are the types that come in and start a shitstorm because one guy posted something they disagreed with.
Anyway, these guys, obviously, have a very nasty habbit, not of abusing their power, but stamping too hard on a perceived 'wrong', and responding harshly to criticism on the lot.
A good example would probably be UncleBenis, of both of this.
A single round's giving of cancer pretty much killed the server, because one guy felt slighted, complained, got an aggressive reply, which resulted in a long, heated argument, which spread over to several other threads, which sparked a hell of a lot of animosity throughout the userbase of both types, who started to stop going to the station.

Basically, Holla Forums's population are incompatible with one another whenever we actually try to run things ourselves. Hell, you can see this shit repeating with Mark. The only thing is, most of us have come to accept shit administration on the imageboards to begin with, so it isn't something what drives everyone away.

Come to think of it, I guess you were spot on, in the first place. We are too autistic to deal with eachother. We end up clashing every time in extraordinary ways.

We really need to shape up so I can get admin again and press those amazing buttons.

I briefly tried being a mod when I was seeing things decline. I hated every second of it, and I never wanted to really do anything.

It's a thankless job that you will be hated for doing no matter how you do it. The trick is to push buttons and make people angry. The problem with the thread shitposting is no one ignores it. You retards get so riled up you destroy yourselves.

On the positive side of it, it's nice when you recognize one of the friendly and fun players. Even if they sometimes end up being the traitor and killing you.

Story time?

I normally don't even try to kill people even when i'm traitor. I just lead them into their doom and refuse to clone them to complete objectives. I don't even have the traitor option enabled, just Operative even if Operative rounds are so rare and always end up with one newfag ruining everything for everyone.

-t. botanist/engineer/secoff/scientist/tcommstist player.
fuck nuTG tgui, it ruined atmospherics for me and every goddamn server except Bay-based ones now refuse to use anything that isn't this shit

That's pretty hot
