Yes, at time they are used to vent the anger. In which form, and how correct and how poltically correct and how nice the wording is depends much on what happened. The leaked passages are rather harmless in nature, to be honest. Real rants look a lot different. (by the way, the capital writing is not "yelling", it is just a way of making an announcement that sticks out).
I can only reiterate: That's what faction only channels are for: to give a room to these negative emotions that is not public, in order to cope with the negative effects of events, in order to get rid of the energy. That's something positive and that's why that private space needs to be protected.
Quote: OORP interaction denial apparently fueled by OORP emotions
This is an avenue that has been proposed hundreds and executed dozens of times in the last 5 years by all factions that are routinely busted in pvp. It's the last way to fight back for those who are pounded by overwhelming opposition: by starving out the attackers until they move on to some other target. Read on, though: I am not saying it was called for in this instance (I was not even there), so I cannot judge it.
Plus: announcements made (like in the quote) do not have to reflect real future policies. They sometimes just are means of frustration coping: you act, you have a plan to remedy a situation (no matter how bad the plan is) => you feel better as a group => you move on. Basic psychology.
And this is actually in the best interest of everybody. Guess what: the day after the announcement was made, CR interacted with the named groups again, on multiple occastions.
Quote:Let's not even mention how ironic (hypocrite) it is to blame Guap for sharing those lines amidst all the threads crying for more and more transparency in Staff conduct.
As if leaking of channel interna had anything to do with demands for staff transparency. You compare apples and pears.
Faction channels with a clear "no c&p policy" would in rl be confidential backdoor political/economic disputes - guess what: Those are meant to be confidential. Leaking from such secret meetings is considered criminal or is at least heavily frowned on. Companies fire you for it and sue you. In reality, once a decision has been reached in back room talk, a real well-thought through statement with correct wording can be published (and likely will not because the anger has vanished the next day, and no one cares any more, see earlier paragraph).
Staff decisions - in contrast - can be compared to the parliamentary / justice system. Of course this one has to work transparently. It makes laws, interprets and enforces them. It is a session in parliament, compared to a invite-only circle gathering in a back room.

P.S: Getting a +1 from Guap should also be something to think about.
