Factions are typically defined as an allied group of mappers, which typically join for security reasons. They claim they are useful for being "safe in numbers" whenever you are in trouble

However, it can also cause factions to compete and fight against each other, dragging people into unneeded wars or conflicts.

They were later banned from the community and people would have to look up to the administration for security instead
