[quote=@Inkarnate]Is it productive to create established blacklists though? I get not favoring working with certain individuals, but there is also the need to ostracize them from the community by “warning” directors of prospective RPs. Where is the line of “Hey, this is a problematic player, here’s their reputation.” and “I hate this person, it’s me or them. You need to remove them or else.”?[/quote]

That's the simple part, really. The blacklist's stewards need only demand evidence of wrongdoing: screenshots, and if it's a public (non-PM) thread, URLs.

The difficult part is drawing the parameters of guilt. Some people, for example, would think that leaving an RP for any reason, through any method, earns the player a black spot. I, for one, would argue that [u][b]if you announce your leave[/b][/u], you're innocent, whereas going AWOL is blacklist-worthy. Others would object to the blacklist itself as a matter of principle, believing that RPers should be allowed to come and go as they choose. We as a community would need to agree on these boundaries before any real progress is in our reach.
