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 although I have felt, occasionally, that one or two are 'out to get you'. Some admins (which

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

into it. Some admins don't necessarily abuse their powers, but are too

to use it. The issue when somebody is in their RfA, of course, is that it

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.
