These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I'd like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I'm wondering if there's a list?

If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?

That seems quite easy to game. Create a bunch of accounts across multiple instances, target a user you don't like, find comments / posts with low vote counts and downvote all of those. That'll skew the ratio and get them "preemtively" banned from communities that use that bot.

A saw a post a while from mods of server saying they noticed these patterns already.

The bot is designed to be resilient against those attacks, the creator goes into more detail here.
