Newbie LSF / intelligence Factions Question

[Laura C.]

In the end it was kinda clear to me that LSF is a kinda overmighty faction which can boss the others around.

No, they can´t inRPly as well as ooRPly. They can boss only LSF indies and only =LSF= leader and 2iC are allowed to do that. They are not superiors of LN.

From my experience and knowledge, official factions cannot boss indie factions and players of same IFF as well. They are clearly independent from what official faction is doing.

Then read the official faction rights again.

Faction Right 2. Official player factions have authority over players of the same NPC affiliation, as long as RP justification is provided. This authority applies in forums and in-game, and applies to player faction diplomacy, and strategic and tactical direction, however, exercise of that authority, on the forums and in game, is restricted to official faction members with the rank of the official faction leader and second in command(s) of the faction. The authority may be exercised through the use of in-game in-RP orders, which, if not obeyed, can result in in-game in-RP consequences (arrest, court martial, and even "lethal" force in extreme circumstances). Official player factions cannot, under any cicrumstances, require another player to follow non-canon RP if that player doesn't want to. In case of IDs with multiple official factions, this right is nullified and cannot be used by any of the factions.

So technically leader and 2iC have that authority. Of course they should use it very rarely and wisely in my opinion.
