DEMOCRACY!!
I seem to completely agree with this. This is a community game and should somewhat be run by the community. The blacklist thread gets a lot of posts, some that are just retarded at times, that I don't even check it. Having a council group could really fish out a lot of fake reports and even get more people to use the blacklist reports. What I see the current blacklist thread is is just a pile of random posts that people like to complain about at times and get whiny.
As for who gets to be in as a council member, I think being nominated, then voted in is pretty nice too. Have like a vote go on for, eh two weeks after nominations of two weeks? Have a total of 20 or so members so that those that may be away will not be conflicting. You would want the more active players of the game who have played it for a little while and have a general knowledge of everything. Clan leaders? Please don't make that a requirement unless you specify how long you have successfully led a clan or unless you want even more random clans to pop up. Have we enough yet?
As for reruns or re-election, I think you should be able to come back and stay in the council as long as you want saying you get enough votes from the rest of the council and devs saying you do a good job and have a keen eye of a worthy blacklist.
Overall, a council would be good, almost like a lower dev team or admins (I think there is something lower than that already so maybe even lower yet one above nothing) to control the constant flow of blacklist reports. It would keep down the complaints since there would be nothing to complain about, and would probably reorganize the community a little more. I F1

Forum Mods are already approved by the devs, so toss in a few of those.
Toss in a few "average joes".
Pick council members by nomination. 3-5 nominations puts them in the polls. That person can decline to run for council or accept prior to the poll date.
Council members should be voted in yearly to avoid "power trippers", clan debates, favoritism or suspected "secret conspiracies" that are going on in private.
If someone submits a request to the blacklist would these requests be reviewed privately, and the council decides privately who to include on the list? This would avoid flaming or lies that might be told by someone trying to accuse the person being submitted for BL'ing.
