This page originally started out as a general "Who is Who" list, to give newbies a hint who to trust and who to avoid, but there's no use listing 1,000 people if it's only important to know who not to trust. As such, the list quickly was reduced to only the bad guys, and now resides under this new title.

The people on this list all behaved in a way that was harmful to the integrity of the community, and, as such, should be met with great caution. Please do not list anybody without linking proof of their action.
