You, too, learn how to best combat people like this.
I'm not trying to say "Get good loser!!!!", I'm saying skill and experience are a big part of the game.

You can beat down anyone with armor and guns, with your bare hands, if you're skilled enough.
To me, that's a big reason why I like SS13, and Goon as a whole--you never know who will win.

Consider your situation, and how you can do better next time.
You are Captain. You command the ship, including Security and the AI.
There are any number of orders and help you could've used at your disposal.

Learn, and do better next time.

I get what you're saying, and I'm not trying to downplay it.
However, to try to control the actions of others--that's just silly. They're not Toxic. They got an Antag round, finally, and are going wild.
While I agree that it's mean to pick on new people, I don't believe that was his intention, he was simply having fun by the sound of it.

I think I might have failed to explain the situation. They were not the antag. And I got autofilled into the captain role when I didn't even have it prioritized (It was pretty late at night with few people, so it makes sense). If either of these were not the case then I wouldn't have any issue. And as far as this players fun goes I'm fine with people screwing around. Genuinely. I screw around all the time and that's what makes it so fun, but I don't use my innate knowledge of the game to force new players into a stunlock so I can steal their shit when I'm not an antagonist. I was under the presumption that if you aren't an antagonist your job was to work together, or at the very least not remove people from the game without due cause. 

I don't really want to control people's actions. I'm just looking for a way to avoid these situations or a clarification on what can be reported as griefing. Like I've said before, if every time I log on to this game I get beat into submission or killed by someone who isn't an antag then how am I ever supposed to learn how to play? I'd really like to learn this game. It seems really fun. I just can't play for more than two minutes without someone fucking with me.

Please do. I got autofilled into it and I was so pissed because I just wanted to figure out some QM or science stuff
