That's good. However, I think you have a real challenge in front of you attempting to determine motives. Any vulnerability announcement would seem to have a "devaluing" effect on a product or service. I also think that unsubscribing a list member would have little effect. Resubscribing under another email address takes all of ten minutes.
I also feel that some level of anonymity should be in place to protect posters from vendors. I'm not saying that folks should be able to post libelous statements, but is that the moderator's place to decide? What's libelous, what's true, what's untrue, what's real and unreal?
Historically the list has done a pretty good job of policing itself in these types of situations. Bogus postings are quickly identified as such, bad information is quickly debunked in replies.
I think you may be laying quite a challenge in front of yourself here. Good luck with that.
