In response to your recent reply, I have contacted BlackDog for an official statement on the TS Clan Channel use for IC Communications.

[L²] Soviethooves: Say Clan Member A get's President and Clan Member B is still doing clan activities.
[L²] Soviethooves: Can Clan Member B tell Clan Member A to demote a player without any IG comms except for TS even though they have no affiliation at the time?
[L²][F.I]BlackDog: Dont think so, the pres could get the info from the clan member just like a pm, BUT they cant just act on it instantly just like a pm, they have to follow up on it like anything else
[L²][F.I]BlackDog: and contact the accused, RP it out etc

[L²][F.I]BlackDog: Information A receives from B from TS, cannot be used against C, without confronting C with the information from B so that they may defend themselves. If after A has done this with C, only then if it is still required can a demotion take place


In short, the clan channels are meant for IC chatter with basic communication rules as you have stated, but they are also limited to clan activities. So, FBI Players can have a player go President, but as that player is no longer in direct communication with them IC as he just joined the job and has left the clan RP for a moment, he can not act on information heard in TS. There must be IG communication use.

Goigle will be given an extended amount of time to reply due to medical issues he has informed me of.

Thanks for the extension.
I also just woke up and might be reading this wrong. Isn't BD saying that it's OK, but the President would have to interact with the person he is demoting first?

I agree with that, and Brock is new hence the mistake.
I don't believe anyone asked in TS for a direct demotion either, we just asked him to talk/deal (I don't remember the specific wording) with the sergeant.
I think what happened is he got confused with how government passes worked, and he thought the sergeant was directly defying him by ignoring newly granted government passes.

Denied

Closing Notes: Player had no interaction with the shooting of the previous president, and the player, being new, took TS communications wrongly and used it as a way to demote reporter. This will be seen as an accident of a fairly new player.

If possible, contact the player accused and tell him to post on his own PR's.
