Under the current Standard Operating Procedure, the Head of Security (or Magistrate if present) is not required to provide a trial under any circumstance. I propose that the Standard Operating Procedure be amended to force a trial on request for capital crimes. (See 'specific proposal' for more details.) As I'm sure many of you have noticed, the court has fallen into disuse. In the few months that I've been a part of this community with nearly daily playing, I've only seen its attempted use twice. The main goal of this modification of S.O.P. is to promote the use of the court so that we might be able to see it in action more often. The reason that I feel this should be a requirement specifically for capital crimes is to make sure that the punishment is justifiable before taking a player out of the round permanently. I also want to promote RP, I feel that the security department is to focused on kicking heads in and being robust instead of actually RPing, resulting in calls for a trial to result in removal of their headset at best, and immediate execution at worst. My specific proposal for the S.O.P amendment is as follows: If a trial is requested by a crew member accused of a capital crime, the trial may not be denied except in emergency circumstances (see below). If a condemned crewmember requests a trial, they may not be executed until their trial has completed and they are found guilty (regardless of emergency circumstances). Emergency circumstances exist when personal needed to complete the trial are dead, or busy dealing with a station-threatening emergency. Once emergency circumstances subsides, a crewmember that would normally have the right to a trial may request one again. Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal, If there is any uncertainty as to what I'm proposing, please ask a question and I will reply to you and amend this post to make it more clear. I also want to know how you feel about this proposal and its effect on security RP.

While playing paperwork roles like Corner, I really tend to like the Holopad's call function. It's an underused device I think is really useful. The only problem with it is that its impossible to find the target Holopad in a reasonable amount of time. To fix this, I recommend sorting the possible receivers before showing them to the client. Implementing a sorting algorithm is relatively easy, I would do it myself if I understood how to work with Byond, and its a nice quality of life improvement.

While playing as a janitor, I noticed that publicly accessible disposal chutes are few and far between. For example, if I'm down in engineering, I have to walk all the way up to the bar to throw something out. I think that occasional disposal chutes in hallways would reduce the amount of trash being left on the ground, and it would cut down on walking time for the janitor.
