The solution (and problem) lies in the selection of admins, which I believe has become too lax. We need to recognize that adminship on a top 30 website IS a big deal. Even one admin who's unfamiliar with policy or who gets into wheel wars can cause major issues. We need stricter screening of candidates, preferably as soon as possible.

Incidentally, I agree with this, but the problem is that it will really become harder and harder to screen candidates accurately. Do you have any suggestions on how this could be done in some kind of scalable fashion?

Make them do a better job of screening themselves. Rather than hitting them with a stupidly long sanitised reading list tell them what it really involves. Of course we would have to start by figureing out what admins really do.
