Heh, whoa, tl;dr. I think you guys are doing a better than average job here, However, I do sometimes think that banned topics aren't banable, but all future responses COULD be... tough call to make. It's all about context.
Don't beat yourself up about the hot air that follows your work. I'm glad you have a methodology and a moral center... Wade seems like a good boss. He is, isn't he? Or is it more like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagull_manager
Yeah, it's a huge-ass TL;DR I know. That was the other reason it's not a forum thread.
I've made similar threads before, only to see them immediately blow up into moronic arguments, and then come back later to find them deleted because it wasn't worth the mods' time and effort to try and fix them.
How did I do. Give me the straight truth. I can't objectively rate myself.
Your last 100 posts, as of writing this response, contain:
- 11 lock messages (= 2)
- More than 20 different threads (= 0)
- 3 instances of adjacent locks (= 0)
You got a score of 2. Good job.
Very interesting post. It is missing the last step though. Do you intend to actually complete the process yourself or leave that up to others, based on their interest? There has got to be at least 40 Mods out there, although many of them aren't very active anymore. I would imagine a full inventory based on this system would take quite a while.
I'd like to think it'd only be used to tell if accusations over heavy-handed modding are true or not. If I see someone get a lot of complaints about them, then I'd bother doing it myself.
I put the whole thing here in case anyone else wants to do it themselves, for the sake of saying they were at least thorough before making any complaints.
ZJ's took about 5 minutes to do, FYI.
damn that's not bad
I might tweak it a bit, but so far the scores I've got from people I've done out of curiosity are things I'd mostly agree with, so I think it's largely working as it should.

Just happy that I get no bad points for unpublishing 3 shovelware games in a row ^^
Aside from that, looks like a decent method. It could be difficult for a forum mod to make normal posts inbetween their duties, especially if there are no other forum mods online. I surely notice times where I am the only portal mod online, so that might be something to take into consideration.

That's why I threw the confirmation stage in there. We all have our busy periods, after all, but if it looks like someone is only ever interested in the 'busy periods' then you have to wonder why they're really coming here. I've yet to see a period of heavy BBS abuse last more than a couple of days in a row, which should average out to lock messages almost always being in a small minority provided said someone isn't solely interested in locking things. ;)
