Just tossing out ideas here, but why don't we

of them going on a rampage, they would be held accountable by the AC and
the community.
We could then just let them get on with it.
Sounds like more complaints about the heirarchy and allegations of a
cabal would follow pretty quickly in that event. :)
Anyhow, it's not nearly tedious and time-consuming enough for us.
*wink*.
Seriously, the problem with such a system would be simply that there
is no one we trust enough, not even me. I mean, I used to fill that
role, but lots of people were legitimately nervous about it, and it
only worked out because, by temperament, I was always disposed to wait
too long before actually banning, and too quick to let people back in.
I can envision some huge huge huge wars about arbitrary decisions.
Some form of voting is important for the purpose of legitimizing
decisions in these eyes of the wider community.
