Well you can at least look at the contributions and when you see a
huge number of recent good contributions, check the talk page
history... and do extra warnings. It's not hard and you should be
checking contributions anyways.

I've never suffered harassment by an admin

to
things, and act before they think. I've seen
blocks logs where an admin
blocks an IP and ends up blocking 100 people, just because they didn't
look
into it. Some admins don't necessarily abuse
their powers, but are too
quick
to use it. The issue when somebody is in their
RfA, of course, is that it
is
often hard to judge how that user will use their
powers - many change
their
ways after becoming an admin.
There is no real way of cheacking this in advance.
