Our policy on rev right now is unstable to say the least, and I'll agree that there should be some tighter restrictions on it. Recently, the decision was made by the administration that all rev announcements were to be considered canon, this was of course to try and deter command staff who's first instinct the moment they see an announcement is to fax about it, forgetting their job should be to provide conflict for the round. The issue being that most revs/loyalists seem to be fucking retarded when it comes to designing an announcement.
Your example on the PRA war campaign is one that I decided not to confirm because it made literally no sense in the context of our lore. We have changed our policy to start coming down on announcements that break logic. Revs/Loyalists are expected to make announcements that are still plausible or we'll shut them down and replace it with something else.
Regarding:
This is correct, however, rev still does provide some leeway on legal activity. Syphoning funds from station accounts is different than corporate drafting employees to fight in a war. "Pay Cuts" are overdone and are a poor method of obtaining the ire of the crew. Taking money from their accounts is better at it, and there is still some argument to be made as it is in a company account. Not allowed under normal circumstances, yes, but it's rev and there needs to be conflict.
