Again: If you let most of this be handled by a -process- and -automate- it, like i.e Varian's outline, you'll avoid most of the favouritism accusations. As for perpetual troublemakers; you take care of THOSE by having them slip up once too often on a ToS violation and then you throw the book at them and can keep them on a short leash. *shrug - I really don't understand this perpetual need to repeat the obvious by people, but again, maybe there are things here I am simply just not getting.
