Then you must not like playing a RPG with a GM. Talk about having to
trust the GM!!!

For games like that the quality of the GM is crucial, both with respect
to fairness and to creativity. If you have a quality GM the players will
come. If not you can expect the game to fold.

As you know the success of a PBM is dependent on the quality of the
product. In a partially human moderated game the GM is part of the
product.

Usually quality breeds success (don't hold me to this statement since
the public can be capricious). So if DungeonWorld is doing well, and it
is paritally human moderated, I suspect that the GMs are doing an
entertaining job at the very least, and a fair job most likely.
