I actually stopped playing here a little less than half a year ago because of problems identical to ones you described, and this leaves me with little doubt you are telling the truth.
I used to have fun here until I realized certain Admins would always spawn themselves and their friends as antags and RDM the entire crew, and this quickly became the norm and eventually the best case scenario.
Some examples of my experiences are...
I once imprisoned an antag Admin and they teleported themselves out of prison. (The server host actually saw this happen and stopped it, which I was very happy to see)
I once killed an antag Admin, only for them to resurrect themselves and continue playing.
Having blobs spawned next to the shuttle because an antag player (me) was about to win.
An Admin spawned as a Cultist, gave themselves all the best gear and proceeded to RDM the entire crew.
I also noticed that these thoughts are also held by the better Admins, I witnessed an Admin banning a well known troll for intentionally destroying the station, the players were incredibly grateful, only for the Admin to say something to the effect of "He will just go cry to Jay and Jay will unban him", and true enough, that player was back the very next day, making it his mission to ruin the experience for everyone else.
I had hoped this kind of behavior would eventually be weeded out and planned to return in the future, but since then I discovered other servers, which have been incredibly welcoming, friendly and completely free of Admin abuse, so have had little reason to return.
I really want this server to be free of this terrible behavior since I have previously had good rounds (as I mentioned in the very first response to this thread), but the state the server was in when I left, and the state described by Pallyo is not fun for anyone who isn't on very good terms with the active Admins.
In the year this server has existed there's been maybe 4 actual complaints. Sorry to hear everything is up to your liking. But not everyone will be happy based on the results of something.
No, the shit absolutely does continue to happen. I remember a couple of weeks ago there was a jackoff named James Russle (omg rustled jimmies so funny, dank meme m80... NOT) who would constantly antag as not antag every round and if anyone did anything to stop him they'd get admin-fucked.
I don't care about the random gifs and shit, but I've already had my fair share of 4chan-level admin fuckery. Some people apparently still think it's funny, but I'm not 14 anymore.
