I'd like to extend the debate here rather than have it be conducted in a sanction thread.
Regardless, I suggest that faction second-in-commands are included in this statement since faction leaders are not always able to perform their duties due to iRL happenings, that's pretty much their role.
I have also received evidence of "alleged" misconduct of one our (Die Wilde Jagd) members in the past as a second-in-command so I believe this should not be an issue, unless things have changed somehow.
