Maybe it would be a better idea to let each account have their own personal "blacklist" that allows the individual user to decide.
Have the individual blacklist hide all the blacklisted account's content just for that account like it can hide a NSFW post, then use the bot to compile how many other users have them blacklisted.
The more decentralized this place is, the better. Why not decentralize the blacklists?
We have that ability now by muting authors we find content disagreeable. The reason I still support blacklists is so you can get an idea if the person may be a plagiarist based on the reputation of the blacklist. If I'm reading through new and read the most amazing article about Bitcoin then I want to reward it. If I see that author has been known to plagiarize it takes effort away from checking each post I view here before rewarding to only check those with flags. My problem is that I am forced to now see someone's dimwitted opinion of my mother shown on each condenser supporting their blacklist. I wish condensers would allow you to filter idiots like @spaminator from being used.
I understand. I'd be a little mad too. Have you got up with them on Discord?
Yeah I'm documenting it for everyone to see their response in this thread.
