(Is there a [KNF] feedback thread?)
Yes, but its hidden.

' Wrote:Kuraine, weren't you caught speed modding and let off because of who you were? How many others got let off claiming it was a mistake? A-list treatment for you. I think that treatment you get as a faction leader blinds you to some things.
BTW, why didn't you just take the ban like everyone else had to? I'd respect you more if you had explained what happened then took it rather than asked and got out of it.
Bringing up old crap again, eh?
If memory serves, and it usually does quite well, Kuraine was let off the speedmodding due to the fact he was previously testing systems for 4.85, as confirmed by the developer. If you have a perfectly logical and good reason for something like that and it isn't your fault - you're more likely to be let off.
It may end up, however, that one person is let off and another isn't. Maybe you call that favouritism, I call it human nature. You're more likely to let somebody off that you know and trust than a randomer that's appeared and given you an excuse.

KNF faction feedback
There it is and it is not hidden, but it seems not many folks had something to complain.

Has anyone ever discovered what's Akumabito's problem? :)

Severe damage to brain parts in control of logic and rationale.

Aku has a chip on his shoulder stemming back from when he felt he was unjustly sanctioned. And then the Admins wouldn't make all the evidence public, so now he is on an anti admin crusade while at the same time petitioning for a "Transparent" sanction process.

Not to mention informing the community of the 'evil' of factions and stating that restrictions on roleplay of any sort are going to kill the server.
Being a faction leader myself I do kinda take it to heart, listen to the critism, find no truth in it in my own actions and dismiss it as utter bull. However the fact that he uses the term "The Factions" all the time as a blanket phase when talking about one or two individuals within factions who he has issue with the behaviour of, I find true offensive.
Akuma, please target your comments where they need to go. You'll find that by taking an arguement quietly and discreetly to the people who you think are wrong, or bad or 'evil', you'll get much further in resolving it. By laying it at the door of people who have nothing to do with your greivance (like me and by proxy the XA) you're just pissing people off and finding them standing against you. This is some freindly advise delivered publicly, in counter to all you negativity I am giving you suggestions and help to sort out your problem.
I think we're done with the blanket faction bashing now.
I stated my feelings about the guard ID earlier, but here they are again. I don't think it wil harm RP on the server, if people are passionate about the roleplay then they will go to the lengths to get what they need/want for the story. I think (to borrow a phase from raekur) this -will- keep 'everyone and his sister' from using a cap ship, and keep the ratio of small ships to larger caps more realistic.

Note:
A potential option is to make Guard IDs available on normal bases. They will be easy to buy, but will restrict the player's actions.
Let's say, that for instance, Corsair Guard ID is easy to geton, say, Crete. It allows capital ships. However it would limit ZoI and wouldn't allow brazen piracy in a cruiser. Could that work?
Of course, I like the idea that they'd be in Guard systems.

Akuma, I've read your comments across numerous threads for some time now, and I've read them carefully. I'm not entirely familiar with your previous sanction situation, and it does seem you tried to iron it out properly initially, but without success (I'm not judging whether that lack of success was itself unjust). I'm also familiar with your previous run-in with a certain former faction leader, and while I understand the logic of his response to you, I really deplored the manner and attitude with which he expressed it - I know I cringed when I read it. Your anger there was understandable and valid.
But I've seen you universalize your experience in unfounded ways, too. I get your anger and frustration - and I pay careful attention to it - but you associate it with people far to widely. Your latest attack on Kuraine is simply unjustifiable, attributing motives to him that aren't at all clear in his own comments. He may have been incorrect, or may have framed something in a way he thought proper without realizing how it might be understood - but it's not at all evident that he was being dishonest.
My question for you is, if this system called Disco is so fundamentally unjust that you have to continually rail at every opportunity against the "powers-that-be" and in ways that attribute false guilt to a whole bunch of innocent people...if things are that bad, why are you still here? Are you not perpetuating the injustice but continuing to participate in the system?
Akuma, your role in this community - constructively, not destructively, performed - is very important. That's why I've never ignored you. We need this sort of sensitivity to justice in community relations, even if we don't always agree with you on how to implement it structurally. But the manner in which you operate now, and have operated for some time, endangers that role, which means it endangers the good of the community and all those who participate in good faith. For their sake, please restrain yourself. For my part, I'll continue to listen to you, at least for now.
