ok, so, reciprocal blacklists are a bad idea, but at the same time, a lot of people find it wrong that someone can blacklist you and still enter your GAs.

So how about we (have an option to choose) don't allow people to enter GAs for someone they've blacklisted? Just like now, you don't know who blacklisted you, but you don't have to suffer the indignity of having someone blacklist you and still win your GAs. The person who did the blacklisting, when trying to enter such a GA is reminded that they've blacklisted said person, and can choose to remedy the situation, by unblacklisting them.

This will hopefully cut down on the number of blacklists, and placate people who want the reciprocal blacklist, without really changing how this website operates, nor will it make the community any worse.

What do y'all think of this?

yes, I know that it's possible to circumvent, but I'm hoping very few people would go to such trouble

it should be if you blacklist someone you're blacklisted for them even if you remove them from your blacklist and you stay blocked from them unless they add you to their whitelist (though they should be notified they are)

So if you blacklist someone by mistake for 2 seconds (because you misclicked) you should be punished for it for as long as the other person doesn't whitelist you?

What if I get blacklisted by someone in my whitelist? Do these actions cancel each other?

Would still kill off blacklist giveaway events...

I guess the fact that I don't care if someone who blacklisted me joins (and win) one of my giveaways makes it harder fo me to care about this.

The healthy thing most likely would be to act like this fine man when BL-s are concerned :P. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CkF_gm1lPA

I like reciprocal blacklists though. I blacklist people that blacklist me. And the trolls/bullies/blacklist spammers that I blacklist otherwise are able to blacklist me!

It all works out in the end, but yea this feature would be cool, but can be exploited unless it works more like: If you're on someone's blacklist, you can't enter their GAs and they can't enter yours, and vice versa. That would be neat. Telling us who has blacklisted us too, so i know who to reciprocate to. I dunno man, lots of stuff to want.

my main problem is that it's pointless.

But if they don't want to use it, they may still end up winning your giveaways. If you don't care that people who blacklisted you win your giveaways, then it's probably a non-issue to you.

Or you could just take me off yours? I prefer to keep my blacklist down to a minimum

When I blacklist someone, I don't want to join their giveaways.

I'd be happy if I were automatically blacklisted back.
