Agreed with this, but it's far easier said than done. I think we're  
stuck with the RFA system we have now; some things are just too damn  
unreformable. I can't see the community ever buying into such a system  
of tool removal tbh.

The worst type of admin abuse is the use of tools against a user the  
admin is involved with/prejudiced against. Unfortunately that kind of  
abuse is the most complex, which is partly why ArbCom have the job of  
dealing with it
