Admin Notice: Faction Diplomacy Changes

[Omi]

proper notification of diplomatic changes does not always get stated in a public manner and a player who thinks they are neutral toward a given faction, may come to instant blue realization that they have become Kill On Sight by that same faction.

Where exactly is the supposed problem with this? Come on, guys. This reminds me of the mini-drama between AFC and GRN| a while back, where AFC apparently didn't realise that they'd been considered hostile by GRN| for the longest time and started kicking off about having one of their fighters blasted. It all got sorted out in the end (details aside), but if that ever happens again - particularly with some similar Freelancer-aligned group with nebulous diplomacy - I really don't want to have to bother compiling an entire dossier on the matter, replete with screenshots and a whole load of other crap just to justify shooting someone in a space shooting game. Jesus Christ.

Sorry, let me rephrase - just to attempt to justify shooting someone in a space shooting game, because apparently any decisions related to my faction's diplomacy have to pass through a panel of people who don't even play the faction, and may therefore end up blocked as a result.
