This comes down to the server owner, always has always will. You can't argue with a person's individual wishes on what he allows on his server and not. You can argue all you want, but at the end as long as the server maintains the official guidelines of the master server, your opinion as a non server owner isn't considered much.

This BL thingy is an ancient problem in AC, some server owners are very personal, uptight and, prepotent when it comes to their Blacklists, that in itiself is their bussiness, the real problem is that lots of others start to use this BLs blindly and that's bad. My sugestion to you paulmuaddibKA is to not play in such servers and convince your mates to do the same. Trust me, their strictness will be equivalent to the popularity of their servers.
Don't be so naive! Many server owners use other blacklists simply because they find it trustworthy and they don't want to maintain their own version. If they agree with the individual / clan that provide the blacklist they feel certain to keep bad behavior & cheating away from their servers.
Some of them might be using it blindly, but rest assure that these are not many and not among the most popular servers. However I'm sure they at some point agreed with installing such a blacklist, simply because it was easier.

What blacklist?..
Oh right, let's not ban those big ranges, so we can keep banning 'cheats' on sight. Because that worked well...
