in the end you will need a piece of (virtual) paper that (at least
roughly) sets the rules and responsibilities for an admin team (so it
doesnt turn into a net police), i found it an excellent base to start
from ... making clear that for trivial mistakes no action should be
taken 
(i.e. for point 1.: a rule that admins dont take action on top posters
on list but educate them in private will quieten down the traffic a lot
here ... 
for 2.: you can indeed not easily move a thread from one list to
another, but an admin can kindly point the poster into the right
direction (again in private to reduce useless traffic here) ... etc etc)

ignoring the techinical issues here i think its a great start for a set
of points for an "admin team guide"
