90 Days.
Some of the squeakers haven't been alive that long 

Me and Vol will look at making an actual rule to not touch a report where they may be associated with either party. It's a common sense thing and if the community feels it's an issue we can discuss making it official. 

Here's the main difference though:
Dedicated cartel players have maybe 2 houses with loadouts in them. Usually only on their home server and with maximum 15 loadouts. They have to spend a considerable amount of time buying this gear at rebel with massive risks. This results in them actually not gearing from their houses the majority of time, because it's such a hassle to refill your house.
Some admins have 5 houses on every server filled with hundreds of loadouts scripted in. The houses are spread in central locations throughout the map, so whenever the admin dies, he can return to the situation fully geared within minutes. This probably wouldn't be such a big issue if all admins had enough self-control to wait a reasonable time before returning. However, we all know that people (admins included) can get pretty heated from dying, and usually want to redeem themselves (or save their friends).
The ability to script in gear opens so many possibilities of abuse. I remember a certain mod switching from a BH loadout to a rebel loadout mid combat. I have also seen many admins pretend to own houses with loadouts. Did I report them? Fuck no. In my experience CMs rarely take any action on reports against admins, either due to lack of evidence or just plain lack of interest.
So many admins have become incredibly lazy when it comes to regearing. You really should try playing the game like the rest of us..

Vehicles
We're not ok with admin's flying around in vehicles like the VTOL that aren't normally accessible to normal players, as they tend to break immersion. We are tolerant of some spawned vehicles if they are used for an event. A VTOL seems excessive unless it's needed for a special event designed around its use.

In the past, before jets were accessible, we did allow admins to fly around in them as long as they were out of sight of most players. Either at high altitudes over the mainland or out at sea, and feel a similar approach should be taken with most other vehicles.

I personally doubt a VTOL was used for general gameplay, or to capture cartels as was suggested by another post. Something of that nature would be very alarming to us, and would have consequences.

Gear
We do allow our admins to use admin generated funds to buy their gear. We consider access to this tool to be a sort of privilege or payment for the volunteer work they do for Asylum. However, they are expected to stay within the means of what a normal player would purchase for an average loadout, and we frown upon excessive or expensive purchases. We don't usually mind if they occasionally purchase a set of gear for a player or two, as long as they follow the same expectations.

Like vehicles, our staff should not be spawning weapons or gear that is not normally accessible to players, with the exception of special events that are designed around the use of those specific items.

I'm sure we can have a pow-wow with the staff to remind everyone what is and isn't acceptable use of the admin tools.

If you see excessive use of any of these things from Asylum staff, feel free to report it to a Community Manager. We take admin abuse seriously and have removed friends and staff in the past for this specific reason.

Reports on specific admins in the player report section will be answered by a Community Manager (I am not a CM), but it is preferable that you use private messages when reporting staff.

I got called an abusive admin for driving a go-kart around in Pyrgos HQ...was a good time, some people just deserve the space cadet award.
When I was admin, in my houses, the only ones I had a full crate would be my cartel one, which almost everyone knew where it was. When I say full, I mean 3 load outs. Once it was empty, I wouldn't script gear on myself to go back to fight. Admins, who have infinite money, should have to grab gear from their crates just like everyone else. I call abuse if they script it in their house when their crate is empty or doesn't have that gear in the crate. 
But honestly, with infinite money, Admins should just not have to script in gear at all. @Olio if you want to solve most of the problems or image that the player base has with Admins, make a rule that they are not allowed to script in gear for themselves period (unless it's for an event). Make them have to run to rebel, buy gear, and drive to their houses to restock. 
What a lot of people don't know, is that when you do script in your gear, it's also your Y inventory. So those Admins don't have to run to a clinic or donor town to buy med supplies. 
And don't get me wrong, I wasn't always innocent with this either. It became a thing of habit and it's just easier for us when you can do it. But after hearing more situations, playing the game as a regular, and seeing videos of some events...I feel like implementing a rule about no gear scripting would only put the communities mind at ease.

Discord sucks for a community this size tbh

On a serious not thank god cause now I won't have to click everyone in precinct when someone requests a higher up to find out their ranks

I have a solution as well, leave Asylum & switch to a different community. Problem solved!
