    Well we see alot of people complaining here about bad hosts, but lately I hear more and more hosts complaining about hacking /fraudulent or otherwise scamming customers.

    I would like to know what you guys think about a public blacklist here on the DP forum. We could open a topic, where hosts can post their experiences with some customers.

    Now I know there are alot of privacy issues, and alot of reasons why we should not do this. There are however also some reasons why we should.

    What I believe this list should contain:

    - Dangerous IP adresses
    - DP usernames of scammers
    - Famous scammer e-mail addresses
    - Scammer messages, so we can learn their tactics

    And what should it NOT contain?

    - Personal addresses or personal information of the customer
    - Banking / credit details
    - Juridical stuff

    How should this blacklist be maintained?

    - At least 2 warnings from at least 2 different companies.
    - 24h updates
    - DP mods and admins should watch over it as well, no abuse

    Please state your responses. I would like to know what you hosts think about it.

    ONLY HOSTING COMPANIES RESPOND PLEASE!!!!
