I don't think DTR has ever actually ordered an indie to do anything in the span of 2 years but that's one of the few remaining actual and extremely negligible positives of being an OF. Other than perks and being able to do the above, there's no really any other incentives to stay an OF (but that's another story entirely as the OF system actually penalizes active groups).
As Faction RIGHT 1 says
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.
Your Relic blocade is not canon event, hence cannot be forced. Also one post with announcement isn't enough to tell your amigos why they suddently cannot mine relics there. And also you cannot bounty your own id (Just to remind you) and Players still can ignore your silly demands to stop, because you cannot pirate your own id as well, I believe.
And for Official player factions have authority over players of the same NPC affiliation, as long as RP justification is provided, you have also need to tell your amigos why you want to blow us a Miguel because his poor life was chosen to mine them to Elders or *insert RP Reason for Corsairs benefits here*
