I suppose that people living longer lives will be force to keep better 
records of themselves.

A Blagogevich with a 1.000 years life span will need to reconsider how 
much is wise to be dishonest to advance his career. And if it is caught 
can be keep away from the offices for much more time.

Also, I suppose that an AI helper or an Aug-Reality extension could be 
used to visualize the trustfulness of people we see or hear, based on 
their past history.
Many of them return when people forget their sins or forget them.
A way to enhance our ability to remember them and what they did (good or 
not) would help to avoid these pitfalls.

This is not so much different from how people manage their characters in 
a few online games.
