I really dislike centralized blacklists. They determine which Hive users are "good" or "bad", they take away rewards from both their target authors and their curators, and there is almost no opportunity for appeals.

Blacklists do not take any rewards away, it is a marker for bad behavior (spam, plagiarism, fraud, etc).
Please be aware of this user (@themarkymark). The user have been kicked off other social platforms and are harassing other users by continually downvoting them. The user control and use @buildawhale Account (An old voting bot) for this too.

I once was thinking about creating a profile or community called "Hive Police" to do this work, with a list of very direct rules to be applied and full interface to vote for blacklisting. And all blacklisting would need to have a Hive end-block number when the name would be removed.
Example:
Also the gravity of the infraction would determine if the profile from just blacklisted to receive a warning to would have automatic downvotes on everything it posts before the end-block
To determine if someone gets blacklisted there would be a 4-day vote among all profiles delegating HP to the Hive Police where it would be necessary to have 75% voting-HP + 20% total delegator profiles FOR the inclusion. The included profile could appeal at any time, and if he manages to turn enough votes to go below the "guilty-threshold", his name is removed from the list
It's not a perfect system, but it was an idea I had.
