Nope, you're right. I misunderstood the default status (there is none). In that light, when selecting people to give those rights to, getting in (or being able to stay out of) high profile train wrecks as you called it should count for something.
I'm not sure if that implies abuse but perception is reality and it does look bad....
Giving someone involved in a highly avoidable, high-profile conflict such rights when others are denied them probably isn't a great idea..sorry about the misunderstanding, my fault.
