Faction as a property

[Markus_Janus]

Exactly my view as well.
A leader may own assets of a faction including ships, banks, forum accounts, forum hosting space and even media representing said faction, but the one thing that can not be taken is official status.
The rest can easily be replaced but official status is the hardest part to work for and deserves to be protected.

What membership? Kicked one? They wouldn't be part of faction anymore.
What you described was probably done without proper reason, but that doesn't change the fact that while leaders take all responsibility and biggest effort, they are just scapegoats.
And when the time comes, they are actually nobody in terms of this topic.
It is his decision, but it must be approved by memberbase and admins?
Who is approving his job every step he takes, from sending money to greedy governments to be able to have few more routes, paying money for running bounty board?

How many members actually invested their time and pixel money into faction running?
Minority.

I do not approve dictatorship, but this disbalance is disturbing my mind.
On one hand, faction is work of many. On the other, the position of leader is just theoretical then.

Edit. Respect goes both ways.

I think you have answered your own question there Geckon.
Being leader of an official faction is a thankless job, you have almost no real power and all the accountability.
But come on, if we didn't like it, we wouldn't do it.
