  • Black list has been a term used in the coding and website administration for many many years. Here is the breakdown, so you understand...

    Please see below....,

    BLOCKLIST: A term/Feature used to block people within a site, or on admin side. It is only used for this purpose. It is also used in situations where you are "Blocking an individual" only who is a user on the site. Which in most uses, the account is still there (On the site) but they are unable to do certain things or disabled all together.

    (Example of a Blocklist or Block: Blocking someone from your profile or an administrator blocking someone on admin side for misbehavior)

    BLACKLIST: A term/Feature used to blacklist a spammer, scammer or other phishing sites from even using the site. It is used to prevent hacking from certain IP's as well. Blacklisting keeps an IP/Individual from entering the site all together, by scanning an IP in most cases from a list. The Server usually monitors this list.

    (Example of a BLACKLIST: Blocking an IP or individual from even entering the site or total removal of a account, by IP or Username)

    There is even a third term called "WHITELIST", which is used in the opposite situation of a "BLACKLIST".

    Therefore this is why UNA will not change it for your verbal convenience. They both have a meaning and they are not interchangeable.

    Do your research before getting racial and pushy yourself. It has nothing to do with racial slur, or an "AMricans" standpoint.

    Again.... Both terms have different meanings.

    Addressing the Linux statement: I am a heavy user of "Linux". And it has the same definitions for both. So where you find your information seems to be a bit concerning.

    Again I really don't see how you turned a situation into another, lol.
