I just hope that innocent people aren't getting gummed up in the works. I can understand if they are posting spam in the sense that it's the exact same message over and over again. Or if they are posting illegal porn or something to that effect. Those reasons are perfectly acceptable in my book. Where I take issue is the "shitposting," and revenge permadownvotes, it's such a gray area and could easily turn into the ugly things we see today on YouTube and all the other stupid places that I left to come here for. If there are only 8-to-20k active users from that list now it might be nice to know how many active abusers we currently have on steem?

This way we can sort through those accounts and just make sure they deserve to be on the list. This is in the bit of the realm of philosophical, and I don't know if you would agree or not but the English jurist William Blackstone in his seminal work, 'Commentaries on the laws of England' suggested that "it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer". I'm not sure the moral relevance behind the statement or if it should be a maxim of law but it's something to ponder in a position of great power like yourself. You are creating a lot of untermensch with your list, so it's best it be more accurate than not, else innocents will suffer.
