Maybe we can get some Pirate Corps with ...uhm... "a good reputation"...  to work as a voucher for the credibility. Those who do honor ransoms should after all have some interest in showing their standing in this matter by basically saying: ôWhoo we are nice pirates. They? Scum! DonÆt give them money. And next time, visit us.ö

Average ransom time = 30secs.
I agree that time will be critical(though 30 seconds seem quite high?), still when you know you are leaving your well known ôsecure spaceö[the "" is there for a reason], you could take a quick look in hope of remembering at least some of the really bad guys should you encounter them. (When the list does not become too long, you may even be able to remember more than just some.
Personally I would prefer a submission based list. When voting there will always be people that vote for ôlolz I voted for blublab lolololö (would become worse if it were to work) Btw.: I sure hope there is no such corp or alliance 
However this means more Time to put into it AND dispute. There will for sure be disputed ransoms, at least if this idea would work, there will be(otherwise nobody will care).
I had originally thought of a ôone incident=blacklistö one, compensated by some ways to get your corp of the list. But when I think of ~30k players at about any hourà ughhà ôno thank youö. I think counting some incidents and a longer time on the list is the better idea.

It's all well and good to try and make a whitelist of honorable corps, but considering how difficult it is to build a good reputation (in this game/irl/etc.) it would probably just be easier to poo on the ones that are dishonorable, since I see them as the minority.
After all, how often do carebears come onto C&P to tell about the friendly customer service of the honorable pirates? (excluding those bandwagoning w/ established corps)

If you don't want to face a dishonorable pirate,then don't get caught or go back to high sec. The decision that the pirate makes of honoring or not honoring a ransom is just another part of the game that is affected by the players. A list of dishonorable pirates would eliminate that aspect for those who choose not to honor ransoms and make piracy more linear.

omg pirate posting with alt to defend pirates....
Personally I think everyone of eve should get in an ibis or whatever noob ship you can pilot, and just bum rush their home systems.. it would be totally awesome to see fleets of battleships docking and afraid to come out cause there were like 1000 ibises camping the station...
Yeah.. we might loose 800 ibises... but it will be worth it for 1 battleship....

A site using the IGB where you can search on pilot/corp/alliance, using a database with all kinds of relevant information. If setup properly one could even charge for it on a monthly basis. Some pirate corp set it up, so you make them pay you by ransoms, loot and a monthly subscription to your website!
That's like seeding the market with Hulks and strip miners before going on a killing spree, gotta create your own customers

No one argues that, and as a player i don't have something against them, but my char sure has.

Why would it eliminate that? If you want't to play a pirate that dishonours ransoms you are free to do so.
You may only face less people actually paying them, but that is to be expected, isn't it? I mean it would just be a knowledge base for reputations after a while. And since we cannot 'die' it is only reasonably that people who fell victims collect and share that information for their benefit.

Could you also manage a list of honourable pirates?
Or how about all the pirates that like vanilla ice cream?
Oh, me! me!

If they do not honor ransoms they are not pirates, period. All piracy is built upon honoring one's word.

There is no such thing as e-honor... 
Oh, this sort of thinking is just sooooooo wrong. Of course there is such a thing, as you call it; 'e-honour'. Whether that be honouring a ransom payment, helping out for nothing or whatever. As long as it's to do with you, then it's your choice to be honourable or not.
But to say there is no such thing is just not right. There is.
