The cyberstalking list is in no way problematic.
I know nothing about any "investigations list" and can't comment. But in general, a list for investigations does not strike me as particularly problematic at all. It could be a bad thing, depending on what is meant but the name itself does not automatically mean badness.
A good investigations list would be a quiet place where users could collect information and ask questions.
"Say, this person looks like a sockpuppet …"
"No, not really, check this out …"
"Oh, ok."
Nothing wrong with that, and in fact we need more of it. (IRC serves this function quite usefully in many cases.)
