Well in this project I do try to have people put their babel level as accurately as possible and I've changed it in the past. I can either change it by 1 or remove them from that language entirely. First option mostly happens if a user under/overestimated their language ability or didn't read/understand the babel description properly, but I could just as well address them about it and have them adjust their own level. Second option is only for people who pretend being able to speak a language (we had a case of a user who was persistently using machine translations for languages he put himself babel 3 or higher in); luckily this only happened once, but I did install the Membership policy for it.

We have roughly 300 members though, so even if I would want to it would be practically impossible to police them all and interview/interrogate them about their language abilities; doing that would probably also make for a less relaxed atmosphere. I just wait for people of the same language group to give me feedback about each other :) like in this case!
