Wouldn't it be great to collab with the entire community to fight plagiarism, phishing and scam together? Right now, there are a few who are in control of blacklists, only they can add and remove people who are blacklisted. This is troublesome in several ways. People who run/control a blacklist will be held responsible and this can either result in pin-pointed targeting or their honesty will be questioned.

While we currently are forced to see a blacklist, once the new system is implemented, we can choose to use whatever blacklist we want, including none. It will be up to you, and anyone else, to use or not to use a blacklist. The goal is to protect our community from those who intently want to harm it and its users. Yes, this will suppress speech, but it will be opinionated from (hopefully) an objective perspective.

I see it more as an extension of the mute option. While we can already mute (suppress), we can now add extra data to a similar option, as we do not mute/sensor but mark, we can still monitor those who exploit, abuse and harm the community on an individual level. Keep in mind that we all hold stake, big and small, and we should be responsible for not our own, but for all stake that is on the platform.
