|'''Adminshopping'''
| Admin shopping is defined as going to different admins until you get a favorable ruling. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=13173#p341313 It's highly frowned upon, don't do it.]

|'''Using OOC to promote yourself for headmin elections'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12837#p333709 One or two lines of text is fine, spamming is not.]
|PKPenguin321
|-
|'''Deathmatch if round-end is bugged'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12708#p330640 If the round fails to restart, but the end round text plays, then everyone is free to act as per solo antagonists unless otherwise told by an admin.]
|MrStonedOne
|-
|'''Weapons of Mass Destruction to counter antagonists'''
|An example of this is suicide bombing a wizard or BoH bombing the cult base. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12662#p329751 If use of the weapon does not win the round for your side immediately after, then it is grief and will be treated as such by admins.]
|Armhulenn
|-
|'''Conflict between team antagonists'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12517#p326955 If two people are on the same team and have an argument, it must follow escalation rules/rule 1. It cannot be detrimental to your team.]
|PKPenguin321/Ausops
|-
|'''Lynching for erotica on comms'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12516#p327160 Lynching for reading smut, WGW, and spamming, especially on comms, is always okay. It also makes the reader nonhuman in silicon eyes.]
|PKPenguin321
|-
|'''Roundstart suicide'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=3536#p85722 Don't do it as an important role, and if it happens too often, you can be banned.]

|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12230#p319376 Any situation where you can overthrow the security force in, they'll probably already be banned. It's okay if you have sufficient IC reason.]

|'''Buying terrible shuttles as [[captain]]'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=11930#p313973 Allowed, but the crew is also allowed to mutiny/lynch the captain.]

|'''Suiciding at round start as a [[Wizard]] to end the round'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=449907#p449907 Any instances of wizards killing themselves roundstart will be met with a permanent jobban from the role.]
|Nervere
|-
|'''Fake [[Revolution|Revolutions]]'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=474528#p474528 Faking a revolution always causes grief, without fail. If someone is pretending to be a revolutionary, feel free to murder them. If I find someone faking a revolution as a non-antag, they can prepare to catch a rule 1 ban for being a griefing shitter.]
|Nervere
|-
|'''Antag Rolling'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23210#p503140 If you're antag rolling consistently, AKA only seeing if you get antag or not, then leaving the round in one way or another when you don't, you are breaking the rules.]
|Hulkamania
|-
|'''Early Launching'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=510237#p510237 This is already enforced, unless there's no one around, or they haven't noticed. We encourage you to ahelp it if you see it, because yes, it's extremely in bad faith to early launch because unga my antag roll faster.]
|Wubli
|-
|'''Streaming'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=22335&p=490439#p490439 We've talked it over and we've decided that we will be disallowing streaming in its entirety from our server. It creates too many administrative headaches and potential for abuse to be allowed, while providing little benefit in return. If we add special restrictions and rules to streaming we'd need admins to check in and make sure those restrictions are being followed (such as a delay) when they're already busy trying to administrate on the server in the first place. The exception to all of this is that during certain special events such as the charity toolbox event or the balls we may lift this restriction.]
|Hulkamania
|-
|'''Using any language other than English in-game'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26061#p551359 While we warmly welcome and eagerly invite players from all around the world to participate in the /tg/ community, we require everyone to communicate exclusively in English when playing on our servers. This restriction applies to both IC and OOC methods of communication.]
|Phuzzylodgik
|-
|'''[[Prisoner]] Policies'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=553343#p553343 Prisoners are not antagonists. Attempting to break out is something they can do, but should not be an every round thing. When breaking out they are free to disable or restrain security but should not murder them. However, if security responds with lethal force, such as lethal shotgun rounds, they can murder in the spirit of preserving their own life. If a prisoner is caught after an attempted breakout, they've opened themselves up to any form of forced experimentation]

|'''Curse of Madness'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=26505 Meant to be taken as fluff, not a command.]

|'''[[Supermatter]] suicide'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=567006#p567006 Suicide into an SM that is not set up, or that results in a delam is bannable. If you suicide into it, and it continues operations as normal without harmful side effects there is no issue.]
|Coconutwarrior97
|-
|'''Blood Contracts'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=26992 Shouldn't be used by non-antags to kill at random.]
|Coconutwarrior97
|-
|'''Macros'''
|https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=579563#p579563 Do not use them to gain an IC advantage over other players. Other macros are allowed (i.e. killing yourself in Orion Trail), but are context-dependent.]
|Coconutwarrior97
|-
|'''Using 10-codes'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=27817&p=579902#p579902 The use of short-hand codes for communication in any department, specifically 10-10 codes, are not allowed. Our servers are English only which makes this style of codified speak subversive and makes the applicable channels too unfriendly to new or fair-weather players.]

|'''Solo antagonists and metagrudging'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12812#p332994 Solo antagonists can metagrudge as long as they are not rolling for it specifically to do so, and killing someone who killed you in a previous life as a ghost role antag is bad.]
|Ausops
|-
|'''Trying to get converted to team antags'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12363#p322876 It's bannable, don't do it.]
|PKPenguin321
|-
|'''[[Families]] Betrayal/Grief'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25984 If you choose to betray your family, the actual betrayal can only happen once you've joined another family. This avoids the issue of having team antags killing each other and justifying it as betrayal. Families are expected to operate similarly to revs in regards to the more widespread damage they cause, so blowing up the SM for no reason is likely not going to be alright because it could kill some of your own family members or interfere with their work, if however you bomb a rival family's headquarters that is probably alright.]
|Coconutwarrior97
|-
|'''Wand of Polymorph and Antag Status'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=515200#p515200 Polymorphing yourself, or being willingly polymorphed, does not grant antag status. You are only an antagonist if you are unwillingly polymorphed]. (This is a topic that has come up many times but never actually be codified)
|MortoSasye

|'''Obsessed Antag Status'''

|KorPhaeron
|-
|'''Map-Spawned Ghost Roles'''
|Such as roles spawned from ruins, including ash walkers, free golems, ancient station crew, etc. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12511 Escalation is massively relaxed with them. They must follow their roleplay guidelines found in the flavour text.]
|KorPhaeron/PKPenguin321
|-
|'''Are miners turned into a lesser ash drake allowed to defend themselves?'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8547#p226265 Yes, however, they are not antags by default.]

|Arianya

|'''Make Shoe-less [[Clown|Clowns]] Valid'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=508912#p508912 Shoeless clowns have been specifically encouraged via code changes to allow them to wear appropriate clothing for dress up shenanigans. No longer do they have a negative moodlet for being without their shoes. A clown is supposed to dress up to their hearts content, limiting that by making them valid without the shoes is rather punishing.]
|Hulkamania
|-
|'''Demotion metaprotections'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=26095 You can't do anything to resist a valid demotion that you couldn't do to resist a valid arrest. ]

==Rule 1 Related Rulings==
{|width=100% border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
|'''Mass identity duplication'''
|Changing many people into one person via genetics/other methods as a nonantagonist. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=13357#p346522 It can happen every once in a while, just don't do it every single round.]
|Armhulenn
|-
|'''Deleting security records as a nonantag'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12649#p329567 Don't do it every round. Don't use a sec/head position to do it. Don't use it to metagrudge.]
|Ausops
|-
|'''Validity when killing pets'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=14718#p369897 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.]
|KorPhaeron
|-
|'''Cutting down christmas trees/general asshole behavior for no reason'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20942#p464904 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.]

==Security Rulings==

|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=13223&start=200#p348261 Do not organize mass grief when you are in control of the security force.] For context: The original question was when it was okay to remove cat ears or tails. Click the link to read the full ruling on that subject.
|KorPhaeron
|-
|'''Bribes as security'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=11889#p312277 You can assist antags with sufficient IC reasoning, but you can't do antagonist things yourself.]
|Ausops
|-
|'''Arresting nonantagonists on station vs team antagonist game modes'''
|By station vs team antagonist game modes, the author of the thread meant nuke ops, blob, wizard, malf, etc. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=1105#p22168 Security is still allowed to arrest nonantagonists for crimes on these game modes. That's part of their job.]
|Ikkarus

|'''Planting/forging evidence as security'''

|'''Fortifying security roundstart'''

|'''Gulagging should not be equivalent to a regular brig sentence.'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=510239#p510239 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.]

== IC/OOC Related Rulings ==
{|width=100% border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
|-
|'''Referencing the gamemode ICly'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12077#p316576 It's OOC in IC if you say something similar to "It's revs" but it's okay if you say "There is a revolution." Basically make it sound like you're not referencing the fact that you're in a round.]
|PKPenguin321
|-
|'''Pile on ick ock'''
|Pile on ick ock is defined as a bunch of people teasing someone for IC in OOCing. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=13113#p340427 It's okay until it crosses the line into being spam. Admins can mute OOC/individual players if it gets to that point.]
|Ausops
|-
|'''IC reactions to OOC in IC'''

|-
|'''Do wizards mindswapped into a silicon have to follow laws?'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=1004#p20335 Yes, they do. If you have laws then you must follow them unless you have a law zero.] (When in doubt, adminhelp it.)
|Ikarrus
|-
|'''Do silicons count as a being under drone laws?'''

|'''Security Cyborg Policies'''
|Just a few random questions related to security cyborgs. If a cyborg is acting as security/releasing prisoners then this is probably relevant as well. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2032&start=100#p46292 Link to answers.]
|Pandarsenic
|-
|'''Silicons and harm in situations where you can't tell if they're being harmed or not.'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2677 Use common sense to decide if harm is going on.]
|-
|'''AIs asking for law changes'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=3793#p93653 An Asimov silicon cannot ask their laws to be changed.]

|Stickymayhem

|'''Are augmented humans still human?'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=3230#p77761 Yes, they are.] There's a helpful chart in silicon policy to help explain this, reference that and adminhelp if there's still a question.
|Scones
|-
|'''Drones and atmospherics'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=4719#p120210 Improving atmos is okay. Cutting pipes/turning off plasma is not okay. Fighting the symptoms of plasma in the distro is fine though.]

|'''Spacing brains, MMIs, and intellicards'''

|-
|'''Cyborgs alerting the crew they're about to be emagged'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=4309 You can tell the crew you are about to be emagged, but once you have traitor laws, you must follow them.]
|-
|'''AIs shutting security down because of law one (discussion)'''
|This is already covered in silicon policy. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=5551 Here's the discussion thread on it.]
|-
|'''Is mindswap considered harm?'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=5180#p133969 No, but if an Asimov silicon has mindswap and is ordered not to use it by a human, it can't use it.] This is kind of an edge case.

|'''Holoparasites and Asimov'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=4872 Holoparasites aren't human- a cyborg can attack the holoparasite but not the human. If the parasite recalls and the human is in critical, the borg must give him medical attention.]

|Ausops
|-
|'''Silicons and Fight Clubs'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6285#p164852 It's considered self harm if they're willingly fighting. Silicons shouldn't interfere if it's self harm. If they're being forced to fight, it's human harm and silicons should intervene.]

|'''Roboticists making unslaved borgs for no reason'''

|-
|'''Asimov and gang dominators'''
|This can probably be applied to other nonharmful antagonist objectives. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6049#p157857 If a human orders you not to destroy it, don't destroy it. Other than that, Asimov does not forbid you from destroying it.]
|Ausops
|-
|'''Drones and permabrig'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8245 You can go in to fix damage.] You might still get dronebanned if you let people out, it will likely be handled case-by-case.
|-
|'''Asimov and Corpses'''

|'''Do caks remember past lives?'''

|'''Are drones valid?'''

|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=489956#p489956 Silicons are not allowed to leet speak (e.g. l33t sp34k), but typing in a 'glitchy' manner is allowed on roleplay grounds]

|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=508910#p508910 Chaplain with a dark blade is human. It's a fancy arm add on. We don't make people silicon for having augments, even full ones.]

|Most relevant post is by HotelBravoLima, which applies to law interpretation in general. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=3523#p85375 "Even doing something consistent with an interpretation of laws isn't good if you're being an OOC dick about it to such an extreme, that's the policy."]

|'''Are AI laws applied retroactively?'''
|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6351#p166712 No.] You'll have to read this thread to understand it, the question doesn't really provide enough context.

|'''If a borg linked to a rogue AI is emagged then does the emagged laws or AI law zero take priority?'''
|Very niche case and is probably impossible since emags should sever the connection to the AI. [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6570#p173807 Starmute made a good post on AI law priority if you are confused.]

|[https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=11563#p304371 "Prioritizing "potential future law violations" is a fucking terrible idea, since it makes silicons able to handwave basically any law two request with "yeah but if i let you in there you might potentially attack somebody inside, law 1 violation!!!""]
