A while back I played on an RP server where a certain level of meta was trusted and allowed, it fostered a better more collabertaive effort for the most part wasnt abused it let people push stories or aid stories and be included more so than they would of been. Only a few times was that trust abused.

In Goonstation I think letting people know what kind of gimmick is going on like taco tuesday or syndie appreciation night you can have a plan going in and how your going to add to the theme of the shift leading to more fun for all.

If you are referring to 2022-era Goonstation, I beg to differ. RP around that time period revolved around a handful of established characters whose arcs--and melodrama--frequently eclipsed actual inround events or basic facts of the setting like "NT would not knowingly allow Syndicate agents on its station". As a frequent outsider to much of it, these arcs were often impenetrable if you were not already deep in them, and often felt really bad to be on the receiving end of. All the clique and favoritism problems that we have today cannot hold a candle to what we had back then. 

I do not think we should return to the days of holding tea parties with openly Syndicate characters, or starting cults around the same research director round after round, or any of the other myriad things that made the good old days not actually all that good.

EDIT: Didn't realize this was in the other thread. Honestly I think this change is overkill. As I have said previously elsewhere, most of the issue i from people observing, not loitering in the join menu. I don't think this solves a problem we actually have.
