accountable to both. This action was taken at the request of the

In what way was the action taken at the request of the community? Are
you saying this because some members of the community want it?
Yes, some members of the community requested it.

Alright, so at what point will you be removing it from such blacklist?
It seems the Digg spammers have moved along. (Jf not, I presume it's
easy enough to put back?) If they were still interested in spamming
the key, there are a thousand ways to do that ("oh-nine eff-nine"), I
can think of a million more but I won't spill the BEANS for right now.
They've left and moved on, this isn't about spam anymore.
There's no overwhelming consensus -not- to have it at all, and I doubt
it's really stopping very much spam now. It's probably more stopping
standard editorial processes, or making an end-run around a decision
that Jimbo and the Foundation have, by making their position an
emphatic No Comment, apparently chosen to leave up to us.
