What about situation, in which official factions tries to reshape faction and spent hours (if not days) doing that, but then devs kick in and say "nope, we have different plans concerning your faction and all things you have wanted and worked hard won't be a thing"?
A member of staff telling a player that they disagree with the content of their work is distinctly different from one player erasing or maliciously editing content that was originally theirs (by right of authorship) but now belongs to a faction. Staff do not erase or re-write, for example, Faction Status posts without the owning faction's explicit consent (or unless a given post violates the forum or server rules).
