Not saying it's not Wikipedia material, but perhaps a site nice and searchable site of misdeeds so we won't forget? Does something like this already exist?
On one hand I’ve long thought this would be a good thing to have after seeing how often people can prey on others repeatedly but on the other I’ve realized that some people can and do change. The fuzziness of our memories over time let’s us heal and gives others a second chance. I’ve also learned over the years that things that are designed to catch or punish bad actors will instead be used by the very people they’re meant to punish to go after their enemies. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Have had that idea when I was younger. I no longer support this idea, because I realize that nobody else wants that site to exist.
Agreed. If you’re an asshole let’s make sure some shit you do sticks to your name.
Since it is original research it will get thrown out in a minute.
Citing the inevitable tech-press coverage now that the blog-post has hit HN's front page should get around that nicely.
