[wp-pro] Blacklist?

[Super Ann]

Being subject to public criticism is really unavoidable... you run  
that risk in any line of work unless you can somehow conduct all your  
activity anonymously. Since WP Pro is essentially a basic community  
forum (even if it is just a mailing list right now) whereby people  
can post and respond to project work, it's beneficial to everyone to  
be able to evaluate the success of the transactions. This would  
probably increase the usefulness of this list overall to all but the  
people who aren't playing by the rules anyway.

Something as simple as knowing if you hired someone that has been  
known to take money but not do work, or if you took a job from  
someone who was known to never pay for the work they did... would be  
EXTREMELY useful and also not necessarily subjective.
