i have an extensive list of banned players from my mud for various reasons, as do all mud owners/admins. but personally i think each player deserves a fair chance at a mud they play (innocent until proven a trouble maker)
now i would not share the ban list info with anyone.
if there were the situation of a "sexual predator" as mentioned in previous posts i would supply the logs and supporting information of the predator to the isp they log from and would take an active part if they decided to prosecute the offender. the reason i would follow up like that is that i am a parent of 3 kids ages from 9-16 , and i would not tolerate anyone harrassing my kids like that.
a big database of troublemakers would in my opinion violate alot of personal infomation that players trust to their mud to be kept private. although if a reputable mud contacted me asking if i have had problems from isp 111.111.111.111 i would reply yes i have or no i havent and go no further than that with the details
