I can agree with your point regarding the Liberty Navy, since the SA shouldn't be policing the Northern systems and they don't encompass the split-in-two LN.
But.. if something isn't part of an entity called the Liberty Security Force and claims to be, what is it? What would you say if you were in the US Army and saw a guy in a tank claiming to be an "independent US Army" who wasn't listed on any personnel list?
It's Brians (sdssn!p3rs) right to set how his faction will behave, though if he wishes to allow 'independent LSF' I would advise him to change the name and nature of his faction, to avoid confusion.
Face it, all factions 'limit' your enjoyment in some way. You can't roleplay as independent Nomads (an oxymoron, considering how Nomads work) due to the Keepers and Das Wilde. You can't roleplay as independent Phantoms due to the Phantoms. You can't roleplay as independnet Coalition (an oxymoron, as the SCRA are a paramilitary organisation that encompasses all Coalition remnants) because of the SCRA.
If you truly find these policies objectionable, you either need to petition the administrators to ban any factions using unilateral names (Liberty Security Force, Rheinland Military, for two examples I've highlighted) or ask the leaders of those factions to change their names and roleplay.\
Find me, then, a single example of a *fictional* military that has no chain of command and sells off it's ships and identification to random people and allows them to police it's space while not following it's order and operating under it's auspices.
Roleplay is all about the simulation of things. If we aren't using Earth examples as models for this, what are we to go on? It's the only consistent and logical standard to use for modeling, and it's exactly the ones the developers use. Provide me an argument besides "It's wrong" backed by evidence and by logic. It's not more
I'm not asking for administrator support or sanctions, which I have said previously. So, the Igiss thing is a red herring, and plus, Igiss representatives in the administrators allow the continued existence of factions with unilateral names. If Igiss truly objects to these policies, he would have stepped in himself or ordered the administrators to ban unilaterally named facitons.
"It's just a game" is not a valid argument. We are speaking about a roleplay activity, which inherently involves suspension of disbelief. Besides, even fiction needs to be self consistent. You don't see 'good' Sith in Star Wars, for example.
Comparing me to dictators is childish and ad hominem. I want a self consistent environment. I don't even run a military faction. By your logic, only Lieutenants and above are US Army personnel, which isn't at all how it works in RL.
