Stranz, to answer some of your questions:
There is no single, current, official blacklist right now except for the central blacklist. The popular server blacklists are being discussed primarily right now. Some will argue that these blacklists contain entries for personal reasons or similar things. While this is not bad in itself, these blacklists are huge, popular and used by many servers without much modification. Again, the central blacklist is controlled by the devs and has few entries, compared to server blacklists.
To address the points of Roflcopter, Stranz and some others: A council may be a more trustable source of blacklists if a variety of elected CLAN LEADERS and members are a part of it, and it might fix grudges(?). Disagreement will be expected but it is better than nothing. Server owners can obviously blacklist anyone they want but when a big blacklist is used across many servers, this has serious effects. Being blacklisted on a single server is usually nothing, but it seems that this rarely happens.
