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 i'll leave un-named) aren't able to see a second point of view, don't look in 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.
