I appreciate that you take your admin role seriously enough to reply to, what I admit, was a crude complaint. I am also glad to see that (and what) action is taken to handle problematic players, although I disagree on what constitutes a problematic player.
And I don't really care for it. I take no joy in knowing that people are not enjoying themselves, especially if it is by my hand.
I realize that this rule about 'relaxing rules for antagonists' is necessary. Without it, policing the servers would be impossible (incidentally, Gannets, thank you for your service).
But this does leave a substantial grey zone for antagonists players who aren't really antagonists, just being dicks. In my opinion, killing people 'not because you are on my objectives list, or obstructing objectives, but because I am an antagonists' is griefing. On a normal server, I keep that to myself and enjoy the delights of a populous station, sometimes even playing an antagonist.
However, the kill-spree mindset is the norm even when it isn't viable. In the past 2 weeks I've been murdered 4 times within the first 10 minutes of a round on servers that had less then 5 people playing on them, even though I specifically joined those servers in an attempt to get away from the kill-frenzy. I found that to be so aggravating that I can't really enjoy the game any more for fear of getting ganked.
So getting back on topic, I quit playing because the new server settings enforce situations where a single player can ruin a practice round for many players and the rules protect this behaviour. And perhaps that is for the better. I may not be the best fit for SS13's cut-throat gameplay. But on the topic 'server population' these are my two cents.

...fictional concept of "antag griefers"...
