is why people don't fight back. The rules outright say that if you don't personally see them with their PDA unlocked, haven't personally seen a blood test, didn't see personally them holding a traitor item, etc. you can't kill them. Guy chasing you with a flamethrower? Best just run away and try to ignore it, because there's a good chance the admins will grump at you too for whatever self defense happens as a result! AI shouting that George Melons is a ling eating the Captain? You gotta cuff him and drag him to medbay for the blood test (and get stung on the way), just in case the AI is lying/stupid/rogue. Or so the perception goes, at least. Enforcement usually nowhere near this level of anal retension in practice, but the exact line varies from admin to admin. I know I've been yelled at by one admin for flashing someone and tossing them down and disposals for repeatedly trying to bust up my office, but then saw a different admin advocate doing that exact same thing in deadchat a month later.
Officially dropping the standard of evidence down from Confirmed Enemy Role to Reasonable Suspicion would encourage people to do something about rampages.
