Game Mechanics: Faction Caps

[Brut]

Lately been trying to fix my Bloodsabers faction. I had been playing with Pyzjn and friends in Qhills, then got the dirk from qeynos catacombs. Got to KOS regions, and decided "OK I'll fix it with quests!". Went on to turn in 5gold to Guard what's-his-face at North karanas, which gives me faction ups with qeynos rogues, CorruptQeynosGuards and Bloodsabers (and down with regular guards). So despite turning in some 5000gold I still remained KOS with Bloodsabers, but had been "could not possibly get any better" & ally with the turn-in guard (which is corrupt) since like 2000gold. After this, I got fed up and went on to give gnoll fangs to Tillin to fix up the ruined QeynosGuards faction. While turning in, I should go down with CorruptGuards, but kept getting told "you could not possibly get any better"... For easy 20 fangs now, gonna turn in more later.

I'd assume this means that I've gone far above the point of ally and therefore it keeps counting me up there in some massive figures, not saying "you got worse" due to this. Which worries me that I can go massively kos with some faction and making it essentially irreparable.

http://www.therunes.net/faction.htm <-- Suggests that there was some cap which was later changed larger, and judging from what it reads, the figures for what counts as kos and ally is -2000 and +2000. So maybe the 32000 is later on?

There is a max increase/decrease of 2000 faction hits in each direction. Lets say you start out at amiable(100) to a faction. Then your max faction will be 2100(Ally) and min will be -1900(Scowl)

Alot of posts here suggest that there's 2000 as either way, depending on modifiers (not too reliable I guess, it's some forum comments?).

What I'm wondering is that if there is any cap to max kos and max ally that I can get (judging from the experiment with corruptguards & qeynosguards)?
