I imagine that a decision to alter someone's reputation status in the case of a group that is represented in-game by more than one faction may require a level of discussion and agreement unlike anything witnessed so far here.
All official factions have this right. Each case will be decided on the merits of each case, and the Admins will deal with each case as and when they arise. Until that actually happens, maybe we could chill and go read one of Tenacity's threads about the update. Apparently, he's not happy.
