Try taking a look at the god commands system on the Death Gate code (it is publicly available, but I forget off the top of my head what the ftp site is - not the circle ftp site :P ) It allows you to assign or take away individual god commands to specific individuals. That way, if someone is misusing a given command, you can just take it away from them, without having to completely demote them. I would tend to use it in the reverse manner, however - as imms prove themselves trustworthy, assign them more commands.
