I think it would be a shame for that distinction to never possibly happen; but I do agree that hygiene as-implemented needs some major adjustments.
I don't have much to say on the rest of what's been said recently, but this point I disagree on. I've been spending more time lately trying out various other ss13 servers to get more perspective on how mechanics (like motive systems) are implemented. Whether a roleplay server or not, I've noticed no difference socially or perception wise between a group of people who are "rancid" with stinklines vs a group of people who are covered in blood and gore or vomit -- both are considered as an Unwanted/Unpleasant State and one that needs to be rectified as soon as the situation is less immediately busy, but only one of them fills the chat with irritating smell-related fluff messages. That distinction still occurs without a hygiene system
