It might be useful to have a global blacklist somewhere. Possible legal consequences, if someone decides to sue you for libel. (Perhaps the list should only contain the names, not the reasons?)
EDIT: Nevermind. There are more things I would like to say about this, but this is not the right place. Later I may write a separate article explaining the threat model I had in mind.
Legal threats matter a great deal for what can be done in a situation like this.
When it comes to a “global blacklist” there’s the question about governance. Who decides who’s on and who isn’t. When it comes to SSC or ACX meetups the governance question is clear. Anybody who’s organizing a meetup under those labels should follow Scott’s guidance.
That however only works if that information is communicated to meetup organizers.
