This idea may be good for server owners. Instead of copy pasta from blacklist forum, there will be a form on website where users can submit abuses. Form will have a script that will generate a text file with all submitted abuses. Now whenever any server starts, it will download and update that file to make sure cheaters, Tkers and other won't play on their server. Of course generating file script can be connected with mysql database for easier editing. Downloading a blacklist file should be an option for config (/blklistdown 1 for example).
I am a medium-skilled webmaster by hobby so I can create such a script, but someone must implement auto-update into engine. What you think?

The problem with that is some unscrupulous person could blacklist every ip address by putting 0.0.0.0/0 into such a form :(
I think its best to let each server owner control their own blacklist, but there is already a central blacklist for obvious cases of cheat i think.

wget
http://blacklist.tearyoudown.com/serverb...t_v1.1.cfg --tries=3 --timeout=10 --wait=60 -O ./bcfh_helvete/serverblacklist.cfg

yes I know about this problem, some variations of ips can be excluded by regular expressions in php, but human must control this anyway. Pick some people from forum to moderate this list maybe?

More power in the 'core elite'??
You have no idea what an uprising there'd be.

As arke says, it's best just to do this. Quite a few people who run their own blacklists, allow it to be publicly downloaded.
There's
http://blacklist.tearyoudown.com/serverb...t_v1.1.cfg &
http://blacklist.randumkiwi.co.nz/files/...t_v1.1.cfg and quite a few others.
