Is there a thread that lists banned members and the offenses that resulted them being banned?
Not one accessible to us. But deep under the Chicago Reader building, is the special vault containing the Tome of Misdeeds. Contained within in voluminous leafs and written in the blood of Easter Kids (goats that is) are the tallies of all of our misdeeds.

Oh Christ, I just know if somebody takes the time to count them up, I’m a goner.
Damn Exit, why’d you have to mention that?
I won’t be able to sleep tonight…
It seems to me that such a list would be like a Hall of Fame for trolls. I doubt that the mods would want to give trolls any kind of recognition.
If anyone notable gets banned, they will post a thread about them in ATMB explaining why. For minor, irrelevant characters, they don’t bother. If you are curious about someone, you can do a search.
I thought Geraldo opened that vault…
The ATMB notices are a fairly recent innovation. used to be, we just had to follow threads or see a Pit thread from a member asking about it. Would be pretty hard to compile a full list, considering the length of time back to some bannings, the different versions of board software, and the many socks that have been used by some banned names.
Nah, that was the vault in the Sub-basement a block over from the Reader. Now the one under the Tribune building contains the secret to the real curse on the Cubs.
That would actually be incredibly interesting reading. The Outcasts of the Straight Dope. This is their tale.
Huh, apparently there is a more wretched hive of scum and villainy…
Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
But alas, it was discovered, not until many years later, that amidst all the flames and grandiose love of self, there was a grain of truth hidden beneath the sand. An itch of undeterminable origin, that never truly disappeared with its harbingers…
There is no thread providing a list of banned posters.
There are various records that allow the staff to elicit information about banned posters (provided they were not banned so long ago that various software changes or system failures have made such records more trouble to touch than they are worth), but there is no single list of “The Banned.”
And, as Rysto has pointed out, we have no desire to give such jerks that much publicity.
Sure, ruin a good joke with some facts. 
Couldn’t you have played up the Tome of Misdeeds instead of leaving us with the impression of a boring spreadsheet?
Off to ATMB.

The listing of the Banned is old,
And mods’ eyes are growing dim.
“He was a jerk in '99,” it says,
But no details about him.
Although in trolling he excelled
And he returned with sock on hand
There is no single listing of
The leaders of the Banned.
I hear a motorcycle revving after this line, ala Leader of the Pack.
It’s hard to ttype woth thses darned thisnngs on your hands…the littele button eyes keep getting caught.
No, it was provoked by the OP here plus a discussion of Log-ins! 
Strange, I kept hearing Leader of the Laundromat.
