I really wish featured articles couldn't use black lists

well terp since I NEVER GET FEATURED, you have no worries about this happening to you from me.. be of good cheer, what is one blacklist anyways?

Post from the forums and the blacklist won't affect you.

We probably should see about getting you a top notch ghost writer to remedy that featured article issue.  Maybe the Clueless One can take a break from writing his next (non-) best seller and get a good 'un done for you   (just kidding, just kidding, just kidding.  You've got more talent in your pinky than that old buzzard has in his entire body).

I'm sure you'll break the drought on features soon.

On the blacklist side, I just think the system shouldn't allow the blacklist feature to work on a feature article, or perhaps there should be a warning for the admins that a blacklist is in effect for that article so they can choose to go on and by pass part of the audience and opposing viewpoints.

I disagree, terp, and here's why. See, you only see when you've been blacklisted, but 90% of the people on my blacklist are trolls that if they ever pop their ugly heads up again, should never EVER be allowed anywhere on the site. In addition, I know of people who have been stalked by acquaintances online who use their blacklist for a darn good reason. Virtually everyone on here has someone, somewhere on their blacklist.

You can have an article with comments completely disabled on the featured articles list. It makes no sense to ban blacklisted articles from the front page.

BTW, you got early parole. Precisely because you DIDN'T try to do an end around my blacklist. Had you done so, had you commented on the front page because it was allowed, you'd be approaching permanent status. Seriously.

That is why I follow both of you

And respect same.
