2) I, and I expect most others, don't go "oh, this guy's a cheater? Well... /suspend /delete /revoke /nuke," but rather use this info as a guide-light to an affiliate who might be a cheater, and check out the info that we have for the individual ourselves.
If an affiliate program identifies someone as cheating, that generally means that they're a carder (use credit card information fraudulently)... but it could mean three or four other types of transgressions, too. Whatever the case, I'm checking out the information on our databases, and always appreciate it when other programs share this kind of information.
Cheaters fuck things up for everyone.

I'd say the first and last name identifies him quite well if it is indeed his (probably not in this case). Posting an affilaites personal information (Name) is probably of more concern to many affiliates more than which GFY name they use.
I'm sure most of the people here who post this stuff are fairly sure about it, but sometimes mistakes also can happen and some are more careful than others. If someone put me on a public list of fraudulent affiliates along with my personal details over a misunderstanding you can bet that I'll be pretty pissed off about it. The scammer isn't going to give a shit because their info is false in the first place.
