Okay seeing Lhairn's post made me think...
Janitors are a boring, thankless and hard job (since you don't have access)
Also keeping the station clean in Classic has NO REAL BENEFIT.
It's not like clean rooms avoid bad things or give buffs. It's only a visual indicator that it's clean wich could mean something or nothing...
And most of the time the janitor might stumble upon a body and drag it with them but... overall.. janitors have the least effect on the station.
What Janitors need in my opinion is more "reason" to exist. Cause right now.. they just replace lightbulbs as their most "effective" gameplay and some thinks engineers need to do it, wich makes sense since engineers and engineer borgs have tools to add more lamps too.
But most of the cleaning is "kinda" pointless.
Most antags are above pay grade for Janitors to deal with. What do janitors do to make the job of antags harder or adds to the station? To my opinion not much. infact Chaplains are almost on the same level as worthless if they weren't so super effective against Vampires.
So yea.. nerfing the sponge and making them harder to play, might REMOVE reason to play.
Janitors need more "REASON" to do janitorial stuff.
