Do you know the HatePaste site? It’s a place where you can share and vote the worst code snippets you´ve ever seen (if you don’t know the site yet, take a look, you´ll have some fun I promise).
Yes, before entertaining the idea of collecting samples of bad models we could start by having repositories of (good) models, something we have so far failed to do as we have discussed several times already in this portal.
Still, I’d like to see something like HatePaste for models pop up somewhere. At least, those of us who teach MDE could contribute examples of typical mistakes we see our students doing again and again (like this infinite recursive associations error). Anyone has a a terrible model to share?

I didn’t find HatePaste all that interesting (after the quick scan I gave it): the stupidity in the examples is often a bit far-fetched or too common to be really noteworthy and other times the stupidity seems to lie in the fact that the code (apparently) doesn’t follow standard idiom (at least, according to the poster) for the language. I find http://thedailywtf.com/ much more interesting as it not only has code examples but also (and more often) stories.
As for a HatePaste for models: I think we’d be better served (as a modeling community) with the equivalent of CodeAcademy than only showing the bad examples.
