We need a topic where everyone can rant freely. Rules are: No naming, no examples, just generally. And pls do minor stuff.
(LOL ADMINS WILL CRAI)
Anyho, here's mine...
People that pick another job and then play around like "I'M AN ENGINEER ACCUALY NUB" and does your job as botanist or whatevs. Fuck them.

I can see a few reasons for situations like that.
What you're trained at isn't specifically what you're always going to be doing. Case and point: my father is an engineer, he -used- to make schematics and so on for metal details. And now he works as, effectively, a coder/database manager/problem solver.
Situations can change, circumstance can change, and jobs can not match. Case and point within this game, Erec Bellard. Trained mechatronicist (notice, mechatronics is a branch of engineering and is not focused on mechs) but works in science. Doesn't work in the chemical part of science, but instead in the mechanical and physical (like RnD).
MY TURN!
Heads of staff and conduct unbecoming.
Namely, understand this: you sign up as a head of staff, you should recognize the fact that your personal life takes a backseat to the life of your department, or in the case of the Captain, the entire station. You need to self-maintain to the point where you can service the unit as a whole, but beyond that, you should be focused on the duties of your department, and on the well-being of the individuals below you.
And this means the following: NOT removing yourself from activity so you can chat/catch-up/generally private RP with someone; NOT fratrenizing with the crew on a constant basis; NOT committing suicide; NOT handling every situation yourself.
You are there for a reason, and there are aspects which apply to you, moreso than to the rest of your department. You lack a private life now, your department is your private life. You make sure that they are well, capable, able, ready, whatever the word you want to use. And you make sure that they are working/conducting as is necessary. It is your responsibility, and it cannot be shrugged off.
Oh, and since I've got time. Allow me to add:
Corporal punishment is BAD.
There is NOTHING productive about it. Nothing, nill, none. NOTHING can be attained with it, which cannot be attained through much more pleasant, actually constructive means.
Yes, sometimes you need to put someone into their place. At that point, enduce stress and break them down. Don't forget to follow-up on that by making sure you build them the fuck back up.
there is a methodology to punishment, quite a few, actually: break someone down to build them back up; punish in private, always, and praise in public, etc.
Do not go whacking everyone with a god damn fucking stick because they looked at you the wrong way.

I see that but it's plain rude for someone to do that, for reals, if you pick another job people and yourself would assume you don't want to play that job, and when a player of that job comes around and you doing his job is just plain selfish and rude. I believe my madness about it can be justified with this.Your point, about heads, I FUCKING AGREE WITH ALL MY HEART. <3

Here's some minor things that bug me. Lack of flavor text. Empty medical/security/employment records. I understand that not everybody has the time to make these things for every character, but it's always a nice touch and adds to arpee possibilities.
Oh, and "insane" characters. I understand being eccentric or quirky or even slightly mentally disturbed, but no corporation is going to hire a mentally insane person to work aboard one of its most expensive stations ever. But yeah.

I hate it when people take the law into their own hands, I've seen it before on other servers where a botanist or an engineer will charge an armed Vox raider with a wrench and a flash, just report a crime and let security handle it.

The detective.
The detective.
There is so much shit I could say about the job of detective in its current state. I can't tell you how many people have told me to add them access to bridge cells as the detective, or how many times I've seen the detective waltz in and robust the hell out of everyone.
Things need to be done about the detective. They are not to make arrests. They shouldn't even have the noir feeling. Why so we have noir in space? NT would be better off with just a forensic technician. Ugh. Remove the gun, remove the noir, and make maybe their office all techy.

Overly descriptive flavour text that gives details that cannot be obtained by looking at someone.
IAA who make it their thing to overly intrude on people, to the point if conflicting with their own and other safety.
Ganking while I'm doing a me or say, and making me panic and accidently smack enter, causing 'Rai Amari laughs and adjusts her la'
Oh, and Rai tends to do Civvie jobs on the occasion she's not medical. Wana fite about it.

Internal Affairs. Why does it exist? To be antags that we can't beat or fight. Like, how many times i've seen one hang onto security, just to annoy them, and then get someone killed because they are in the way.

The recent influx of security officers that are either incompetent or bad at RPing with non-security personnel. I mean, sure, you should try to do your job the best you can't, but don't sacrifice RP.
And when you /know/ that cargo is operating, yet won't reply to PDA/Request Console/Radio hails.
And another thing! Er, nobody ever uses request consoles for whatever reason. Instead of plugging up general comms, just use a /direct/ line to their workplace? That's like screaming out your window for your friend to come over instead of calling.

But if it's your next door neighbour, and your windows face each other, then would you go scramble for a phone?

True. But I am sure that ICly, people would get pretty annoyed at the one scientist that keeps yelling, "CARGO?!" every ten minutes.

I hate it when people hate people for having too little/none or too much Flavor text.
Flavor text is bloody optional damnit.
