I'm not sure whether you're asking what we have as a check on enforcement of
[[WP:3RR]]. In case you are, that is performed in the first instance by the
administrators' noticeboard section [[WP:AN3]].
Wrongful use of the administrator's powers under that rule can be reviewed
there. This doesn't prove that 3RR is infallible (actually I find it a
useless rule and never have anything to do with it, relying instead on
commonsense and public review of my actions) but it does provide a check on
abuse of the rule.
