Because otherwise you get rumors, inaccurate information and half-truths.

Noisebridge is a do-ocracy.  Go do something about it.  It's a wiki:
Stick [citation needed] stuff on there.  Provide counter-examples.
Even (gasp) go fact check -- find the person who wrote it in the space
and have a calm, reasonable conversation with them about their
experiences vs how you experience it on 85.

85 is a centralized repository of bad and weird shit; it tells you
that no, the person you're dealing with isn't just having a bad day,
and it's not just you that has a problem with that person.  It is not
and cannot be the Voice of God, or even the Voice of Consenso.

Well, if you want, you can step up and do something about it.  Just do
the best you can to not impose your own bias, inaccurate information
and half-truths on others in the process.

I think that keeping track of excellent behavior is a great idea, and
if that's something you want to do, then you should do it.

Will.
