Hi there, thanks for the feedback post.
I'm not going to respond to each individual example you've provided, since in some of those and in many similar situations, what looks to you like "admins did nothing" was actually the admins taking the other person aside and reminding them of the rules, and we're not going to disclose that to anyone else.
Do we miss stuff? Absolutely. Either in the logs, or because a report came in when folks were asleep or busy and nobody was watching the channel.
But more often, it's like you said: different admins can and do make different calls. Sometimes it's because there's different context, sometimes it's because we just don't always agree exactly but tend to hold to the same general standards.
Escalation and staying in your lane are two of those things where intent matters the most. If you're trying your best to involve others in the game, let people do the job they rolled, and focus on making a fun and interactive round rather than steamrolling, you'll generally be okay.
To refer to specifically the issue with your situation: as a doctor, you went out of your way to test crew without being asked for help by Sec, built yourself a flamethrower, and then set everything on fire when Sec tried to continue roleplaying with the antag instead of just immediately acting on your independent investigation and accusations. This is one of those times when sure, it makes sense for *your character* to be paranoid and take hunting monsters into their own hands as a doctor, but it does not make sense for *the round* for you to do all the Sec legwork unasked as a doctor and then open fire on a whole group of people because you didn't think you were being listened to.
