Reckless disobedience – when does it become a rulebreak?

Hi admins. :dinonug3:

First, a background to explain what the hell I'm talking about.

As a longtime command main, I've had to put up with a lot of characters just completely ignoring what I'm saying. Whether it's just completely ignoring what work I've delegated them in favour of doing something I don't want done, needlessly holding up work by refusing to communicate with the department, or even actively shittalking their own boss over the radio after being told to do anything at all, it's gotten really frustrating. Of course, I don't expect people to get along perfectly with my characters, or even like them at all. But the rate at which I encounter characters that act like this is really exhausting for a whole bunch of reasons.

This kind of behaviour feels like a Rule 7 violation. You're expected to play a character that could work at NanoTrasen, and someone who is incapable of following orders would be filtered out really quickly.

Onto the question: Is this a correct interpretation of Rule 7? Should I ahelp people who play characters like this or leave it purely as an IC issue?
