I gave kudos not for the proposed methods (I don't know enough about the development end of things to comment), but for the general idea. In the Factions listing of the wiki, it shows other factions that said faction is allied with, neutral to, or enemies with---to me, it's rather odd that right now, that doesn't come into affect with player's actions (in regard to examples like "I go kill 1000 Gondorians, and Rohan doesn't care") unless the killings take place in an area where faction spheres overlap.

So, it makes sense to me that if you go kill 1000 Gondorians, it's going to negatively affect your alignment with factions that are allied with Gondor. It may not be a 1:1 effect (after all, people get most angry over "our own" being killed)... but it ought to affect how your victim faction's allies see you. Perhaps a 5:1 or 10:1 ratio, where for every 5 or 10 Gondorians you kill, your rating drops 1 point with Gondor's allies?

Another point here: it also ought to affect reasonably with neutrals who might see you as a danger to them... for example:

Let's say Lothlorian isn't allied with Gondor, they're neutral to it (currently that's true)---but if you go kill 100 Gondorians, Lothlorien is going to view you with greater suspicion, so you lose a point with them... because if you're killing large groups of Gondorians, you are probably working for "the dark side," whether that's Angmar, Dol Guldur, Mordor, etc. So for factions that are neutral to the one you're killing, the ratio might be 100:1 where you kill 100 of that "neutral to us" faction and then your rating with the other faction drops a point.
