Note: The following isn't really in regards to the abuse, as I don't understand factions, but in regards to situations like this in general that might crop up on FL side-servers.
Here's my issue with this, regardless of whether or not Temar abused his powers: We're a gmod roleplay server, and as such all of our effort into making decent rules and monitoring abuse is on our gmod servers, and this makes it really hard to decide what is and what isn't ok on minecraft. Note: I'm not arguing that you can't abuse on minecraft, because I'd imagine that quite clearly you can, but I'm not sure how factions works and what is and what isn't ok, or what admins can do that players can't when it comes to claiming land etc.. It's very confusing, and I think that if we want to run these kind of servers we should either first draft up proper rules for them as well as abuse procedures, or we should just swap between different game-servers as a kind of weekly special; one weekend minecraft factions, another space engineers, another minecraft ftb etc..
I know that isn't entirely on topic, but it's a problem with people taking minecraft factions very seriously on what is a gmod roleplay server; we don't have much precedent or procedure for this, so we either need to make procedure or just take the little extra game servers somewhat less seriously. However, I can certainly understand why people might be upset if temar did in fact abuse his powers, but I have no knowledge of factions - half the admins don't - and as such I can't really comment on this case or judge it.
