The ISU has a procedure for spotting and evaluating possible instances of bias or incompetence on the part of judges. If an individual judges gives a score that is outside a certain (quite generous) "corridore" about the average of the other judges, then that errant score is flagged by the computer and reported as an "anomaly."
These anomalies are reviewed by an ISU committee and if the judge in question cannot justify the marks, then the ISU issues an "Assessment" (warning). After three assessments in a season the ISU can impose some sort of "sanction," like not assigning that judge to any major competitions for a certain amount of time.
This document lists the number of such Assessments that were given out last year (section 11, page 5).

A total of 17 warning were given. Two judges each received two warnings. No one received three warnings.
Of these warnings, 10 were on program components, 4 were on technical elements, 2 were for both, and one was for a poor referee's report.
By the way, section 10 of this same document specifies the procedure ny which members can submit proposals for future rules changes.
