Someone has to make sure they're following the rules. If that means a human
verifies the list rules, a human verifies the list rules. And if you can't
trust the users, that means someone you trust has to do a check to make
sure. 

Is it a bit of a hassle? Yeah. But who does this benefit, and so should bear
the burden of the hassle?

IMHO: Jargon. Acronym for In My Humble Opinion. Used to flag as an opinion
something that is clearly from context an opinion to everyone except the
mentally dense. Opinions flagged by IMHO are actually rarely humble. IMHO.
