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.
Right. And in the case of the person coming here and saying "hey, fucktard... that's my name... you're talking about me... what did I do?" - then his info has been linked to a GFY username, and what I said earlier applies.

Otherwise, connecting the dots, and telling a cheater how he got caught's, generally, only going to make him more efficient at not getting caught the next time. What else, in a practical sense, would it solve for?

Sure, mistakes can happen... and that goes back to my 'guide-light' statement earlier - if I suspend/ban an affiliate, I've always got my own reasons, apart from any GFY thread.
