The point is to screen out these people before they get to the investment stage. The scenario you describe is as likely (or even more likely) to happen with the system YC just put in place, since it will take at least two reports to trigger any consequences.

Unfortunately, in many cases, those VCs are already on the cap tables of founders that could report. So it's a problem.

Two reports triggering an exclusion from YC demos and rounds would be a strong incentive. But one report leading to an inquiry from YC might prevent incidents in the future, too, for fear of losing a key deal flow.

As an aside, it really pisses me off to see your comments getting downvoted here. You're saying valuable, important things.

This is what a hostile environment looks like, guys.
