Generic ID vs Faction ID

[Yak]

I know this is off-topic (apologies for that Toris).

But, in response to Lyth's agreement about banning groups from using generic IDs, I disagree for the following reasons:

1: Anyone who wants to abuse the generic IDs for their Sirius-wide goodness are probably the sort of people who will fly untagged and do renames on a regular basis, and preventing groups from playing tagged generics won't stop that

2: People who want to tag up a generic ID are probably aiming for some sort of RP with it where they will place RP restrictions on themselves, thereby negating the OP-ness of the generic ID anyway, and probably making it more confined than most non-generic IDs

Well, those probably don't hold true in all cases, but I would imagine they do work as a general rule. For example, see self-imposed ZoI, amongst other restrictions, for Valkyrie Freikorps, The Slaver's Union, and of course AFC.

Again sorry for going off-topic there Toris, hope you don't mind too much!
