Finding quality translations

I'm sure many of you who read scanlations have had this experience: you find a manga you like, really get into it, and after having read enough chapters to become emotionally invested suddenly issues translated by a decent translator are no more and you're left with sub-par scanlations that smother your interest with cold, hard disappointment. That experience is so abhorrent and so prevalent in the scanlation world that I stopped reading manga altogether for about a year now.
My question is, is there any way to ascertain beforehand the continued quality of a specific manga's scanlated issues (without examining chapters in the latter half of a series ahead of reaching them)? Maybe there's a site that only allows decent-quality translations or something? I'd even settle for some tips on completed series fully and well translated. If someone could help me out here, I'd be truly grateful.
 
I don't think a site like this exit, though I would greatly appreciate if someone made one. It would be a tough task though, because you would have recruit someone who's got serious Japanese skills...
The horrible translation quality is partly what made me learn Japanese.
