I won't get into details out of respect for everyone involved, just wanted to let you all know via this way that it's very disappointing and demotivating to see the utter lack of cooperation and respect for the hard work people put into running an official faction.
I know what @Madvillain is talking about, and since he doesn't want to go into further details publicly, I obviously won't either. However, I just wanted to say that I agree with what he said.
An OF is supposed to be a guide in the correct way of acting for the indies who carry the same ID as the NPC faction, both for the exercise of RP, and for compliance with the server rules. Because of this, they have more responsibilities than indies, and that means they have to work harder and be more strict about the consistency of their actions. In return, OFs are also supposed to have a few more powers than indies in order to be able to exercise that guidance and authority.
If the extra effort that the OFs make to act impeccably is disdained by the staff, its members will begin to wonder if it's really worth it, and will fall into complete apathy. This will affect the behavior of everyone with the same NPC faction ID in the long run, and the quality of the gameplay experience.
