In response to some in game emails I have received, I am proposing the following. A Black List of Pirates/corps/alliances that do not honor ransoms.
Now, such a list could be very helpful and at the same time, very damaging. So, before you all start sending me names to add to this list, we need to set some rules here so that things remain fair for the carebears and the pirates.
- Before you make a submission request, you MUST attempt to resolve the incident with the Pilot/Corporation/Alliance FIRST.
- Submissions to the black list must be made by your main, alt submissions will not be accepted.
- Submission requests must be made using the following format:
- Subject: RANSOM BLACK LIST REQUEST: Pilot/Corporation/Alliance name
- The main part of the post must contain the names of all involved and a brief description of the incident.
- Information and documentation as per step 1 on how you tried to resolve the incident must also be posted in the request
- Additional incidents concerning said Pilot/Corporation/Alliance should be posted to an existing submission request thread.
Once a submission thread had been made and multiple incidents have been recorded, then and only then will they be added to the black list.
The black list will be a simple text file that will be stored on EVE-Files for the time being.
Link to come.
Thoughts?

Do you think anyone is actually going to take/have the time to look at said list before paying a ransom? If the ransomed is that concerned about whether or not the pirates are trustworthy then they'll depend on their own knowledge of the pirates' reputation because they won't have time to do all this digging.
Reputation, good or bad > any list.
I have to agree with you, reputation does mean a lot and is very powerful. Veto has a reputation of being a very successful and honorable pirate corporation. Your corp honors ransoms, people know this by reputation.
Such a black list would be more of a learning resource for new pilots, so that they do not fall prey to those of your profession who do not honor ransoms. It's their responsibility to know the space they fly, to "do the digging" before they venture into a specific region of space. You would have to do this because no one will have time to review such a list while being ransomed.
The purpose of such a list is to shame those who need to be shamed and attempt to be a deterrent to pirates not honoring ransoms. They may profit from it in the short term, but a central listing that people can add to can create some sort of fear that they will not be able to continue to be dishonorable for long and be successful.
Of course, if you leap before you look, tough luck for them I suppose.

Verones dishonourable.  He said he would call..., but he never did... 
LOL
Honestly though, Verone is one of the more honorable pirates in game. Reputation for the win. Reputation for pirating the right way.
