Hi Doug,
Yes, I believe such a list is necessary, but it can't be something only 
contributed to by 1 or 2 people. Maybe a blog or something? Or a way to 
tally the number of votes for a particular candidate (the one election you 
don't want to win, hi hi). I'd vote for my own personal QSL hell in the 
form of ER4DX. Direct, buro, Not even registered, 5 tries in total, have 
gotten one from him.
One important thing would be that once cards regularly flow again, to make 
sure his info gets stricken from the list. I.E. single guy who manages a 
fairly low-volume DX station, gets sick or computer blows up, 
whatever...situation resolves itself after a while. The problem here is 
latency on the net. Google Caches might turn up something bad even after a 
situation was resolved years ago.
