I'm absolutely in favour of what you're saying here, don't get me wrong, but, unfortunately, as I've said countless time, the quality of editing given by the VE is last on Lit's Admin's list of priorities.
By that I mean that every time a writer comes to me complaining of an editor, for whatever reason it is, I told him to send their complaints to Lit as the admin are "supposed" to police the editor and make sure they're doing their job. Unfortunately, I don't know how many writers have written back to me saying they never got any response to their complaints. More often than not, the complaints I receive are pertaining to the same small group of "editors".
Complaining to Lit is always my first choice of what to do when there's something wrong...but...when you see that it isn't working you have to look for alternative avenues and I still think that the green list is a viable one.
