Staff Rulings

Head Admins may edit this page at any time to implement a ruling. Administrators require consensus from a majority of other admins, or the Head Admins, to implement a ruling.

Other ranks may not implement rulings, and should propose rulings to the appropriate persons.

This page serves to document major decisions/changes, or rule stipulations.

#	Policy	Ruling	Date (EU)	Admin (CKEY)	Rank	Notes
1	Drones and repairing station-critical equipment	Drones are permitted to repair station-critical machinery (SM, atmos, gravity generator, telecommunications, etc.) so long as they continue to follow their drone laws.	27/10/2025	SamanthaFyre	Head Admin	N/A
2	Permitted size for combat-oriented roles	Security, command, and antagonists may not be below 0.8 (80% of a tile) in size. All other roles may be any size.	29/10/2025	SamanthaFyre	Head Admin	This does not apply to extended.
3	Use of size mechanics during combat	Size-stomping is not allowed to be used in combat, regardless of circumstance.	29/10/2025	SamanthaFyre	Head Admin	N/A
4	Validhunting as an AI	The station AI must still follow its laws, but may be ordered to find or contain a crew member by security or command; the AI cannot apprehend or assault/kill a person they are ordered to find or contain themself. Non-crew antagonists may similarly be pursued or contained, but the AI is not beholden to crew-based laws. AI should avoid pursuing non-crew antagonists unless they are actively harming crew, where they may intervene.	31/12/2025	SamanthaFyre	Head Admin	Assault/kill conditions can be overridden by laws that permit such.
5	Staff transparency	Visibility of staff guidelines (including punishment guidelines) will be open to the public.	05/03/2026	Toastewoofs	Administrator	Approved by SamanthaFyre, Aloraine, & Adminstrator team
6	Do Not Interact (DNI) orders	Do Not Interact (DNI) orders (between any player/staff) will no longer be created or enforced due to their fallibility, liability to get players and staff in needless trouble, and staff's unwillingness to meddle with interpersonal affairs between players. Harassment and metagrudging should be punished per standard rules.	07/03/2026	Toastewoofs	Administrator	Successful staff vote 2-5-9 (14 in favor). Approved by SamanthaFyre
7	Ban & high-severity note transparency	All bans (role and server), and high-severity (red) notes will be made available to the public on the discord, with certain information censored. This will not be backdated, and guidelines are to be added to the staffing guidelines page.	05/04/2026	Talzion	Head Admin	Implemented following community and staff vote/discussion.
8	DM moderation & complaints	All complaints and acts of moderation are now banned. Staff members must refer players to opening an adminhelp to voice their complaint, and must not investigate, take, handle, etc., any complaints via direct messages. To be explained further in the staff standards and announced.	10/04/2026	Toastewoofs & Talzion	Administrator, Head Admin	Successful, unanimous staff vote (17-0).
9	Implementation of Events team guidelines and a moderation-only channel	Toaste (toastey/Toastewoofs) will write new guidelines specific to members of the event team (eventmins, head eventmins, trial eventmins) in regard to their duties, rules surrounding them and their use of power, and their participation in certain staff matters. A moderation channel accessible to only members of the moderation team (trial game moderators, game moderators, administrators, head admins) will also be made.	30/04/2026	Toastewoofs	Administrator	Approved by Aloraine, SamanthaFyre.
10	Reversion of Ruling #9 and alternative provisions	Staff ruling #9, "Implementation of Events team guidelines and a moderation-only channel" is partially annulled, and the resultant rules on eventmin contributions are being gingerly relaxed. Additionally, eventmin hiring standards will be heavily improved.	04/05/2026	Toastewoofs	Administrator	Approved by SamanthaFyre.
