Naming names.  :)  I don't think we're going to make any progress on our 
organizational issues as long as knowledge of who the "offenders" are 
remains private.  We can only ponder the mysterious "they" who are breaking 
the rules and wonder what all the fuss is about.  (While a rotating sheriff 
duty would certainly expose more people to the issues, it would not give 
them a viable perspective on who the offenders are because of the small and 
infrequent time-slicing.)

So, if we are developing systems to enforce the rules, they should inform 
us in an automated way as to who is not following them, if the system 
cannot itself directly enforce the rule.
