To be honest, I think that the PWA is based on the wrong sort of concept. There should be two different positions here: global police (e.g., what the PWA is now) and Playerworld Inspectors, which would be a team of 10 or so individuals who do not have RC and exist solely to inspect playerworlds and give their opinions. They would not necessarily hold any power whatsoever, but instead would review and give opinions on playerworlds. In case some members of the PI team did not show up, or became inactive, the PWA members could step in and fill in votes. A pass for hosted would be a 5/10 to a 7/10, and 7/10 and above would be classic.

Also, playerworlds would be judged solely on their playability and how they would market to players, and not on the fanciness of their graphics or whatever. With a team of 10 players, you could inspect a world over a couple of days and get a good sense of how well a group of players would attach to the server (is it too spread out? etc.). With PWA, and usually only one PWA at a time, this becomes more a "Let's show the PWA all our good stuff" and less a "Let's let the team get a general feel for the server so they can make an accurate judgement on how this will go over with players".


Anyway, just a couple of thoughts.
