I agree with others on the legal view, but also, to me this site just focuses on sour grapes. As a result, I can't see anything positive of helpful coming out of it. I'm not going to search a blog each time I get a client to see if they've been written about here. And aside from that, this site will only ever tell one-side of the case.

What if the developer did really poor work, missed every deadline by weeks, or the client still says there's work to be done before being paid? All this site shows is angry developers complaining about less-than-ideal clients. For me, that's the kind of talk you have over beers at a bar — you say your piece and then you move on — not something you permanently record into a collection on the web.

Then make a place for that kind of post too. Perhaps even create an index that correlates the two accounts, so that people can see both sides of each story, and weigh the evidence for themselves.
