The mechanism? That is easy...the calling, to my experience and knowledge, is not extended to a stranger. Also, see handbook of instructions.
You think people are only called to be Bishop if the Stake President 'knows' them? So in the case of the alleged pedophile Bishop and all those scamming Bishops, what went wrong if they were not strangers?
That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)

Apart from minors being abused and life savings being lost, I guess you could say nothing went wrong.
Anyway, you were going to explain how it is 'unlikely' that people who are less than worthy could be called as Bishops....

You may think this "what went wrong? many are called, few are chosen." answers the question, but you are the only one thinking that. What's up, embarrassed by the actual answer? Your fingers been writing cheques your brain can't cash, again?

The perfect calling for control freaks and busybody, nosy types. You can meddle all you want, tell people what to do and you have "the mantle of authority" while doing it.
“If paying tithing means that you can’t pay for water or electricity, pay tithing. If paying tithing means that you can’t pay your rent, pay tithing. Even if paying tithing means that you don’t have enough money to feed your family, pay tithing." Ensign/2012/12

There is no guarantee that an LDS Bishop will be a good Mormon, despite claims of divine inspiration in the selection process. Just ask the ex-congregation of Dr Martin Macneill.....
