It's funny how this is brought up time and again as a valid point, but when the "stricter expectations of conduct" aren't met by the players on the other end, a lot of factions just fold.
Like this thread a valid point was raised by the OP but rather than say "yeah we, as an official faction, shouldn't have tried to pressure you, an indie player, into non-canonical RP" and deal with it, all sorts of minor attempts at discrediting the OP are pulled out of the hat.
So what are these "stricter expectations of conduct" because quite frankly, playing this mod for 4+ years, I've yet to experience that?
P.S. Don't want to start a war, I just think it would be so great for the mod and community if (some) factions started to take their responsibility a bit more seriously rather than just use it as a slogan to hide behind. We've all got a responsibility to make this mod enjoyable to play for the next man, and a common interest in attracting and maintaining players, so it is counter-productive to make it a taboo to confront these issues.
