It's probably been a ~decade or so since I've played SS13 (have gone back every now and then, but not regularly) and have fond memories of the antics that occurred.
One of my first memories as a new player was accidentally wandering into medical, getting knocked out by a couple of players, waking up tied to a chair, force-fed medicine until I died, and then waking up again having been revived, dressed in an EVA suit, stuffed inside a locker with the door welded shut, and thrown out the airlock to spend the rest of the round floating in the black void of space.
Which sounds sadistic, but was very funny at the time. New players were griefed mercilessly, so if you didn't quit you quickly became very proficient at the game (out of necessity, so you didn't spent the bulk of each round in a locker or suffering some other terrible fate).
