First off, Factions have no control over independent players.
Secondly, there is almost nothing Factions can do about independent players who act out.
Well, factions do not control independent players... But those players' actions still can affect the official factions' diplomatic negotiations and the state of affairs on the server, can't they? If they can't, that will restrict the indies' RP. But if they can, indies must take responsibility for their actions as well, because there're many other people out there, playing for official factions. [color=#FFFFFF]So my question is:"Are the actions of independent players important for the diplomacy of the official factions?"
