I haven't seen anything like this but it would help people avoid those people who are creeps but have not been punished or caught by police. Every now and then I daydream about making a website like this or getting a team of people online to code this. I'm not sure how the specifics would work though. There are a lot of issues to consider and I don't know whether the site would face legal issues due to laws about slander.
One way for it to work would be for anyone who makes an account to be able to Search for a person and vote that person as being a "creep".... that being a generic term that covers everyone from rapists to people who make degrading sexual comments. That way, if someone was raped but doesn't the rapist to know that it was her/him who voted, then for all the rapist knows it was just some oversensitive person at school or work who didn't like a joke. I'm guessing people who were actually raped would get their friends to vote as well so rapists would get more votes. Or they might make extra accounts. So then there's a question. Are people making multiple accounts to vote multiple times a bad thing necessarily? Should it be easy or difficult to make an account? A way to make it difficult would be for the site to be invite-only. Everyone who registers can invite 3 other friends or so and that's it. And should you even have to make an account? Should you be able to vote or make a comment about a creepy person without making any account? Should account holders have profiles where others can send messages to them? Should there even be accounts?
So yeah, like I said, lots of things to consider. I'd like to get input from people who would actually be using this service (victims of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment) on how the website should work. Personally I do not have money to cover the server costs, nor do I have enough coding experience currently to do this myself. I would be willing to help out with implementing this though.
