To answer your question a little more directly, you can change the messages used in zone/faction.cpp:

Code:

  718 //o--------------------------------------------------------------

  719 //| Name: BuildFactionMessage; rembrant, Dec. 16, 2001

  720 //o--------------------------------------------------------------

  721 //| Purpose: duh?

  722 //o--------------------------------------------------------------

  723 char* BuildFactionMessage(sint32 tmpvalue, sint32 faction_id, sint32 totalvalue)

  724 {

  725 /*

  726 

  727 This should be replaced to send string-ID based messages using:

  728 #define FACTION_WORST 469 //Your faction standing with %1 could not possibly get any worse.

  729 #define FACTION_WORSE 470 //Your faction standing with %1 got worse.

  730 #define FACTION_BEST 471 //Your faction standing with %1 could not possibly get any better.

  731 #define FACTION_BETTER 472 //Your faction standing with %1 got better.

  732 

  733 some day.

  734 

  735 */

  736         //tmpvalue is the change as best I can tell.

  737         char *faction_message = 0;

  738 

  739         char name[50];

  740 

  741         if(database.GetFactionName(faction_id, name, sizeof(name)) == false) {

  742                 snprintf(name, sizeof(name),"Faction%i",faction_id);

  743         }

  744 

  745         if(totalvalue >= MAX_FACTION) {

  746                 MakeAnyLenString(&faction_message, "Your faction standing with %s could not possibly get any better!", name);

  747                 return faction_message;

  748         }

  749         else if(tmpvalue > 0 && totalvalue < MAX_FACTION) {

  750                 MakeAnyLenString(&faction_message, "Your faction standing with %s has gotten better!", name);

  751                 return faction_message;

  752         }

  753         else if(tmpvalue == 0) {

  754                 return 0;

  755         }

  756         else if(tmpvalue < 0 && totalvalue > MIN_FACTION) {

  757                 MakeAnyLenString(&faction_message, "Your faction standing with %s has gotten worse!", name);

  758                 return faction_message;

  759         }

  760         else if(totalvalue <= MIN_FACTION) {

  761                 MakeAnyLenString(&faction_message, "Your faction standing with %s could not possibly get any worse!", name);

  762                 return faction_message;

  763         }

  764         return 0;

  765 }

Just add some checks to see if you're flagged as a GM (should be GetGM()) so it's only when you're flagged, and you should be good to go.
