I've dealt with much the same issues, especially in recent months -- an increase in legitimate requests, an increase in frivolous requests, and an anxiety that I eventually will get criticism, though I haven't had any yet.
Well, aside from the Laptop wank, but that was HP and years ago, so I don't think it counts.
It is an odd and delicate dance, trying not only to balance how many requests for help you post without making the journal a clearinghouse for (legitimate) charities and trying to figure out how to say no to requestors. I've done it, but it's never easy. Kudos to you for working it out, and for knowing that you have to.
