As a guild master I think it'd be great to add a ban history to the armory, so we can use that information to track characters that have multiple offenses and remove them from our guild.
That way we protect our guild image and guildies from repeat offenders.
This may also serve as another method to discourage people from committing the acts.
It's like how prisoners get out of prison, they served their punishment, they ought to be rehabilitated now, but nobody will give them jobs cause they're criminals and they have nothing else to do than to turn to crime for money.
This will lead to guilds kicking/not inviting banned people, then banned people make their guilds, which will be sort of wow gangs: nobody will join them as they all were banned once, they must still be rotten.
I would support this. However, as Nib stated, how would it stick when someone does a name change? I've read several posts over the year I've been here where someone will just change their name once called out.
And comparing prisoners to asshats on this server is completely stupid; not the same. The majority of the time these people's only satisfaction comes from jerking others around.
I give everyone a shot even if they have been banned. Some are honestly ignorant of the rules and acceptable norms of the game. If and when they show me their true colors, I do not want to group with them nor have them in my guild.

Simple, list the ban history in the account info used for the login server sql data.
When a character is loaded up in the armory have it list the ban info for the account it is tied to.
I love this ideal. As a guild leader myself, I would love to see something like this implemented. So what if you don't like being held up for what you have done. Maybe you should not have hacked/ninja'ed in the first place. People can change yes. but most of the time do they....Sure their will be some guilds that give them a second shot. And thats for each individual guild to choice for themselves, but if your trying to make a respectable guild. You dont want someone who has been banned multiple times for ninja, going into a raid with your guild name in it and doing the same thing.
We all make mistakes if it be in game or real life. But your choices have consequences, and they should have the same in game.
Simple as this "dont wanna be judged based on your past, dont have a past people can judge"
