Hello @themarkymark, I very well acknowledge the usefulness of your Global Blacklist API as it will prevent abuse and fraud on the Steem blockchain. It's a noble project which should be supported by as many people as possible who have the interest of Steem at heart.

However, there a few persons on your blacklist whose reason for being on that blacklist has become quite irrelevant and now deserve a review. How do I mean? Permit me to explain.

There are a few persons on your Blacklist API who got there in the days of the old steem for bot abuse. They were, at that time, added for the right reason - as the blacklist prevented such persons from using your bot, Buildawhale.

Now, we are in the days of the New Steem where downvotes exist to fight bot abuse, where even the use of bots have become very unfashionable if not moribund. This keeps me wondering why those whom you blacklisted in those days for bot abuse still remain on the Global Blacklist API. Can they still abuse the bots now given the downvotes army in town? The answer is NO and rightly so. Therefore, it is only fair to grant amnesty to such affected users. By so doing, your Global Blacklist API will get the much needed credibility. In this case, my good friend @Majes.tytyty is a victim alongside several others.

You could mandate the victims to burn some amount of Steem as a fine for getting on the blacklist in the first place. That should be fair enough, portraying your blacklist API as just, fair, reasonable, and credible, which I believe are your intentions.

Ps: I am not speaking for fraudsters, for plagiarists, spammers, etc but erstwhile bot abusers. If the very creators of the bots, such as yourself, are walking free (even as witnesses) then every other person who interacted with it deserves to live as free men too.

Thanks sir.

You have made a very solid point. I really appreciate your effort towards cleaning the steem ecosystem, this is amazing. This is a great step to curb spam and abusers i have known @majes.tytyty for a while now and he has been abiding by rules since i knew him. Is there a way he can be whitelisted from the blacklist?

Hi would like to confirm, that @majes.tytyty is a valuable member of our community and he has been very helpful and supportive towards the others. 

I wonder if there is any procedure allowing users to remove their name from blacklist - it should be necessary to add such an option.

As I am still clueless about all the things going on right now on steemit, so forgive me if I don't really understand how this "blacklist" thing works. However, I decided to pass by and leave a comment here because I know James (@majes.tytyty). He has been supporting me and many other steemians during hard time of Steemit.  not just upvote us to reward our content but also encourage us to stay and contribute more to this platform. He has always been active by posting his unique content even in the time most people decided to leave. I have known him since my early day on steemit, and I believe that he doesn't deserve that red mark (of being blacklisted) beside his name.

Thanks @gandhibaba for saying all the things that I and many others want to say.

Most of these are written OFF of Steemit so as to avoid being downvoted and hidden. Amazing. So much for this "censorship-free blockchain".
