Seems like all three have problems:
1: Relies on good faith presentation. If people are scamming their way in good faith has doubts, the counter to this is basic rule sets which have their own problems. (dead subs, one can't fulfill the requirements for transfer-it becomes arbitrary to admins, etc.)
2: If subs are allowed to die, then eventually that tactic can be used to destroy the site.
3: Similar as two, only a lot more work for everyone and resets on brand recognition as relevant.
Of the three, seems like #1 is the most usable, even with it's subset of problems. Too bad there isn't a way to data mine a 'good faith' ratio for anyone in mod position.
