        There's a welcome and FAQ sub forum for that. General is not for the faint of heart.

          Whilst I'm not entirely onboard with the OP's original suggestions (for somewhat different reasons), it's absolutely not unprofessional to "name and shame" bad ex-clients and (particularly) employees. So long as everything is kept on a purely objective level, it's very much the correct thing to do. Call it due diligence if you will.

          After all, isn't this exactly what clients do to us and their employees? Why else do you think you're forced to provide references before getting a whiff of a gig?

            You should team up with the OP. Sounds like a winning combination.

                  There was a site called ******dCompany.com .... that did pretty much what you are looking for.

                  Unfortunately, it got litigated out of business.

                    No it didn't Pud got bored and started a musician social network that also created a music distribution system.

                    However Pud was also in the USA which is far more liberal than the UK when it comes to freedom of speech.

                    As for doing this in the UK well there are companies I won't work with but that doesn't mean I should criticise the people in those companies as others may get on with them just fine - I just don't willingly suffer fools

                      So what is forcing you, against your will, to CUK?
