I'm just going to mention I think part of this also stems from long-term veteran players tiding pretty hardcore recently with all of the new Sec. I'm not saying it excuses Security behavior, but it definitely doesn't help matters when Security already has 100 people to deal with and you have veterans constantly making life hell for them and generally being incredibly toxic to Security as a whole. Which in turn further reinforces them to turn even shittier.
One doesn't excuse the other but all it does is make things worse, and veterans should know better.
Speaking of newsec. I'm an HoS and to put it lightly - it's genuinelly exhausting. You have about 7 Officers who not only are oblivious, they tend to be stupidly confident in how oblivious they are and will challenge you on most matters, they also are a group. Keep in mind you aren't only trying to teach a group of angry officers that want to gib people for breaking into rooms and ignore your orders.
You also have the swarms of tiders. Which honestly aren't even usually new players. New assistants are usually just kind of oblivious and lost or apathetic, it's the people who know what they're doing that are constantly causing chaos - and then let's not get into even actual antagonists.
It's incredibly hard and overwhelming to balance it all at once as a single person.
If you ask me maybe Security should be locked for X amount of hours instead of rounds. Or perhaps give people a "Security Cadet" role? I'm not sure, but all I have to say is playing HoS just leaves me exhausted and cranky recently, as hard as I try. Then I don't want to go HoS again because playing a powerful role while in a jaded mood is a bad experience for everyone involved.
