I'm just waiting for the first guy to get sanctioned for using this tool to obtain an Administrator IFF, dock on the admin base and fly off with an admin ship, weapons and ID.
Yeah ... I'm looking forward to seeing that in the sanction area of the forums.

It doesn't raise rep, it only lowers it. The only thing that a person will be able to do, is be completely hostile to every single faction taht exists in the game...

Plus, cannon already relased this beautiful tool
Have you been reading this thread? How do you think these guys are getting "Guard" reps so quickly? Guard reps are more difficult to get than regular faction reps. So ... if you lower reps on one faction ... it increases the reps on another ... otherwise ... how the heck do you explain obtaining "Guard" reps quickly?

I think you misunderstand how the tool works and what was requested.
All it does is drop one rep. That was all that was requested. This does not mean that any other reps are shifted upwards.
The only way to move a rep upwards is to 1: bribe, 2: do missions for that faction, 3: Kill NPCs belonging to that faction's enemies.
You can actually get some guard reps a lot quicker now. Although I dont really see a huge problem with that, well other than people who had to work harder for them may feel cheated, but that's kind of like saying "kids have it so easy these days, when I was your age I had to shovel hay for 6 hours to make a quarter" or something like that.... At least that is my opinion. The old way really didnt seem to me to be beneficial to anyone.
Guard reps have always been easy to get, with the exception of the Zoner Guard. For everyone with missions - you simply grind them (20 or so + a bribe will give full guard rep).
Guard tags on the other hand, are practically useless, and only show you've spent more time repfixing your character.
You do not need a guard tag to get a capital ship / buy stuff from a Guard system. You only need full guard rep.

I feel a little cheated. It took me ages to work out how to get a Zoner guard IFF, then ages to actually get it and now people can do it relatively easily. Still some work and/or money is required to get guard reps and it does help reduce //OORP rep fixing stuff so in the balance I feel this command is okay. If it were entirely up to me I'd make the command really really expensive (10-20M) to use, but the consensus after speaking with many people both in public and private is what we have.
And I had to walk to school in the snow with no shoes and had gravel for lunch and was grateful...
