Indeed, but we need better investigative tools. Tools that can
give us a more authoritative view on whether or not a particular
black list actually adheres to the rules they espouse, or if maybe
they are revenge-based, or whatever. Tools that tell us if certain
black lists import data wholesale from other sources, without
checking that first.
I'm not proposing any solutions per se, but it would be nice if
we could have some sort of a rating system that we could apply to
various aspects of all black lists, and on which trusted members of
the community could then vote.
Maybe an Advogato-like solution? Or perhaps one that is more
broad-community based and less small-trusted-group based, such as the
Amazon or imdb.com rating systems?
