In a game that revolves around social networking, naming and shaming is appropriate and desirable.
Whether it's effective is another issue.

I think so. Back in the day there was always a stickied blacklist thread at the top of one of the Brell forum sites. I myself (especially when I played on Rallos but even on blue servers) kept a black list. I also kept a list of those people who helped me out and I would go out of my way to help them if I saw them looking for something I could assist with. Having a level 65 cleric at the time I was in that position a lot.
People on the blacklist either got a no to rezzes or paid heavily in plat for them. Those who had helped me out coming up I would go to great lengths to get their corpse and rez them.
Seems like a small thing, but when you share your list with your guild and vice versa it starts to have an impact on people who are jackasses. When it's shared with the server it takes it even further.
I don't know how it was on other servers but if you screwed your rep on Brell you might as well reroll at that point. Sadly they implemented name changes somewhere along the way.
