This api is awesome, and of huge potential value for communities and apps on the Steem blockchain.

As a post, this was somewhat brief. I would have loved to read more information about the creation of the blacklist projects, about the progression and future plans. This post was clearly aimed for the technically minded, but could have been more elucidating for general readers with a bit more background information.

That’s awesome. I always wanted to share utopian’s blacklist with some projects when I see them promote these users and give them extra permissions without knowing their backgrounds. Say it plagiarism, using multi accounts to increase profits etc. I wonder if there could be more information added like the reason of the ban or a source link about why the user banned. A standardized blacklist with a few more information could take attention of more projects and it also discourage this kind of attempts.

I added an endpoint for the Utopian blacklist a few days ago - could add the reason for why they were banned to that and who they were banned by, but for now will probably keep it like this:

https://utopian.rocks/api/bannedUsers
https://utopian.rocks/api/bannedUsers?banned=true
https://utopian.rocks/api/bannedUsers?name=skipjack

Great news, Amos.
Additional fields was just a quick idea, since every project have their own policies and they may have different thresholds for abusive behaviours. Using multi accounts maybe not welcomed in one project but maybe it doesn't matter in another one. So everyone could benefit from a steem-wide blacklist with a little bit more detailed one I think. Just a thought, maybe as a feature request. It's good as it is right now.

so what's the potential usage for an interface like steempeak.com

Let me get back to you. I just started to play around with Steempeak and will keep that in mind.

Great work -- I'm definitely going to try to incorporate this into my project. Was curious how I might be able to protect from various nefarium -- this will help. Will contribute / start a list of my own when I am able.

nice work @themarkymark.

I'm on the blacklist for build a whale

Can you please provide what evidence your using to smear my name on steem?
