Many other servers have at least something that ensures that everyone who joins has read and accepted the server rules. I don't understand why no LOTR mod server has that. In real life I can choose my friends too. Of course we have to deal with assholes, but most of the time we try to spend with people we like. Also being fair does not mean being on the good side. But not every asshole is good at playing a dark lord.
 * I think it's impossible to decide, who is fair in advance. So you've got to let everybody in, who applies and then test out, if he/she plays really fair. If not, throw them out. Or only get invited people on.
 * In real life, you have also to deal with diferent kind of people. You are also capable to live with the scoundrels, so why not on a server? Ok, it's annoying when your belongings are destroyed or stolen, but it's not the end of the world. Perhaps others help you out and so even when everything seems to be lost, some good things may arise from that. I even think a good role play needs an excellent bad guy to function properly. Without threat, life would be cozy and comfortable but also quite boring in my opinion.
