[wp-pro] Blacklist?

[Dan Cameron]

I've been thinking of doing a client review site for a while now but  
the main issue is anonymity is essential but the main downfall for a  
project like this. A developer reviewing a client doesn't want to be  
out there saying a client was horrible and never use them again, so a  
anonymous review is a must--but having anonymous reviews isn't credible.

After thinking about it a little more today I think the best solution  
is the simplest one--a google group. Then everyone can post without  
their email being displayed but you can directly email that reviewer  
to follow up with them and get details.

It would also be somewhat hidden, initially only this list would know  
and eventually word of mouth which IMO is ideal.

Otherwise, a site with verified accounts for developers would be  
necessary. That way only proven devs can come in and out--although a  
google group could serve the same purpose.

Ideas?
