-> Spell it out in the event description. Talk to PoB owners so that the man-in-the-middle approach simply does not yield any profit. I suggested this multiple times in this thread. I did not violate the supplier list being limited in any way. I just took advantage of the sell/buy prices of existing PoBs. Something that is PLAYER controlled, so interact with PLAYERS if you don't like it, instead of yelling "ooRP", "ooRP".

-> Can you go back to what I said and say in your words why I brought up the ALG modular station in Galileo? I brought it up as an exemple that ALG knows about what's going on. And then I argued that ALG meets the profile of people that would play the middle men if the profits were right. This is to say, I never stated that the ALG PoB is repackaging Avionics.
It was spelled out in the event description when there was a list of approved contractors that wasn't even every POB on the server that matched the IFF of the participating IDs. Everything that was discussed as setup to this event was done in the Lib Gov channel of the main Discord, so DSE would have been perfectly aware of it if they had an active OFL. I mentioned the ALG POB in Galileo because you implied that all of ALG should somehow be aware of what was happening because there is a POB there, but nobody has done any RP suggesting that to be the case. Lib Gov did make a post calling for contractors to apply to be included on the registered list, but nobody representing the ALG in any capacity has chosen to engage with that roleplay, and Liberty certainly wouldn't have accepted anyone applying for such if their RP intent was to supply Kusari-made Avionics.
I'm sorry that you're being denied from taking part in an event because you don't fly the IDs that are meant to be a part of it, but to put it simply that isn't the fault of anyone but yourself.
Will this discussion lead to anything? I can continue arguing, but I really think I won't get anywhere.
Maybe as a suggestion, maybe next time when you involve player controlled assets (such as PoBs), maybe talk to the owners of said PoBs so that you have the setup you desire. This whole thing would have been avoided if you did this.
If you think that your setup was perfect and I'm just an outlier actively breaking the rules.... I won't say anything on this topic anymore. May the chips fall where they may
