community's intolerance

Might makes right.
True in many parts of the globe currently and generally tends to evolve up to 'civilised' things.
It is however, king on the server. The factions maintain power by exerting it. Why should they be the ones in control? Why should you have to listen to them?
You don't.
However they will hunt you down and make you scream if you go against them.

They have the numbers and the guns. They have the organisation, the funds and the respect. You can go against them but you'll need to get a few friends to defend yourselves in any way. The ship registration not only prevents overuse of the capital ships of a faction (Which some don't like) but also makes it harder for people to stand up to that faction. It essentially clamps down on opposition before it can rise up.

The rules factions lay down have nothing to do with the server rules and are only enforced by the faction. As long as those rules do not contradict server rules (Except if they own the system) then they are free to make whatever ones they wish.
