How did you discover SS13?

[Ed Venture]

That makes me wonder, what's the biggest controversy that goon has ever had?

Also, how has goon managed to seemingly avoid so much controversy? Is it because it spawned from Something Awful, as opposed to something like 4chan? Is it because it stayed closed source? Is is because of something else?

That is a really good question. In the five years of me solely playing space station on goonstation I can't think of a time any admins did anything truly awful. Sure they may flatter, ban someone for a dumb reason, change something for the worse. But they let us freely discuss these things and if enough people voice their opinions with good points then change comes.

The only thing I can think of is only based on my experience and does not reflect on the beliefs of the playerbase as a whole. But it was when a certain player made it his mission to grief and kill people as a non-antag and would always get away with it because of Hilarity cause. Which was basically was if you are shit but make the admins laugh you can get away with anything! I don't believe hilarity cause is a thing anymore (Thank god cause it was fucking stupid) but the inaction around that player and how I for the most part would end up in the middle of his shit made me drop Space station for a few months because it stop being fun. Man have things changed since then and for the better obviously.
