Even though it's a lot of work for the admins to handle the sanctions, I still think that they, in great secrecy, think it's kinda fun to smack everyone around.
Your suggestion would keep adding more and more people to the "admin team". and finally there would be no regular players left. Kinda like the situation we've seen with all those new groups where everyone is an Admiral, and there's no low ranking officers anywhere to be seen. If there are too many rulers, they will finally start sanctioning each other, and then the mess would be total.
People will be people. That's a fact of life. We will try to cut corners and make things a little easier for ourselves if we can. As long as we don't get caught, everything will be accepted. That's just how people in general work.
But what happens when they do get caught? They get some stuff removed from that char, and although it happens to new players who don't have a lot of stuff or money, it's also the situation when it happens to rich old players with tons of cash. Taking away their stuff doesn't mean more than a bump on the road (or in space). It takes them 30 minutes, tops, to restore their ship to what it was. And people who get banned are constantly appearing in the forums and the server despte being banned.
It's high time to start asking why people keep breaking the rules all the time. The answer is because they can. As long as we accept powerful ships in the hands of newbies and other players, who in general doesn't know diddly about server rules or simply ignore them, then the problem will not go away. Restrict the use of certain ships, and make it hurt badly when people who are trusted with these ships break the rules. Make people think twice before doing something stupid.
