Sheldon, as usual, has contributed a very wise observation to the community. He has also made a potent suggestion which requires discussion.

Should we invest some users with authority which elevates them from "vigilantes" and makes them more like a police force ("judges", as Sheldon put it)?

This is essentially Erik's idea, dressed up in an official uniform (hope I'm not being tactless, here :-)

I had proposed the same idea many times, a couple of years ago -- but I'm currently opposed to it.
