Misdirection and intrigue are big parts of the game. I've never quite liked seeing adminhelps of BOBBY JERK IS STUNNING AND STRIP SEARCHING ME HE'D GOSH DARN BETTER BE A FUCKER, looking into it and find it's the result of a traitor spreading paranoia on purpose, knowing I can't communicate this in any reasonable way to the player without spoilers and end up just having to eat another THESE TERRIBLE ADMINS DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BLAH blah blah because i'm not going to ban someone for getting all jumpy trying to find who the fucker is. That just means the fucker is actually playing in an interesting way rather than CoD-ing it up and i'm not going to act against that.
By the same token i've seen certain traitors just automatically adminhelp anyone who puts them down even if they're on a crazy obvious wrestler-with-shotguns-for-legs rampage. Like it's not enough you wiped half the station out, now you want to get someone banned too? Come on.
I think one thing an agreement should be made on is making it very clear that it's the admin's perogative on whether or not they intervene in a round. Quite a bit of stuff we get adminhelped about is a matter for station security (assuming there is any) which is why we had that crackdown on tormenting security personnel a while back. We might not explode you into floor cluwnes if you start yelling at us to ban someone or whatever, but we'll certainly be a bit grumpy about having to see it.
EDIT:
As an addendum I will say our community is a lot sweeter and nicer now overall than it used to be, however. It's a very rare thing we detect any of those gross types who are constantly jonesing to see someone get punished or banned by the admins nowadays, more often than not our current player base tends to get grumpy because they're worried other folks are having their fun messed up.
Funny how the thing the Sploded clause was invented for (causing shit AND deliberately trying to get people banned) is a very rare case these days. Ya'll are cool <3
