In a way, maybe it is, I think G's right to run. I expect someone's going to try and force him to swallow it, sooner or later.
Yes. It's inevitable that, like everything else, they will weaponize the bit in some way.
It is indeed pretty fucked up that members in good standing should have to grovel for this, especially when they will be bestowed by some typical asswipe admin. Almost as importantly, removal of the bit should be at least at the discretion of the user. There should be no need to fill in some form, bow three times towards San Francisco and them present your posterior to the nearest fruitcake admin for permission to be relieved of duty.
A tick box on some user config page and that's that. This should be true of all bits of course, not just this reviewer bit.
