What This Is
The Blacklist or Banlist is a collection of bands that are prohibited from being posted. Discussion of these bands are welcome in the proper channels. Every quarter, the users get a democratic say in suggesting bands for the Blacklist.
Why We Are Doing This
We feel this community of regulars does a decent job at self regulating 118,097 123,939 128,506 133,038 145,998 189,829 217,453 303,952 407,821 483,963 528,673 599,074 687,065 780,021 882,329 1,046,592 1,209,266 1,384,361 1,393,538 potential users. r/metal is sizable sub and I believe it has an identity made up of its regulars. Because of that, we want give our some agency to people who visit r/metal frequently. Now some will say this isn't fair to lurkers and non regulars but there is not real way to please people who do not participate.
Why Do We Need This
I feel we have moved past the point of questioning the need for a blacklist. The lawless wasteland of Pre-Blacklist can be seen in other subs and the need for regulation has lead to other things including half of the regular threads and underground Friday. With that said, there is always an option of No Changes to either list each quarter.
What Will Happen
Whatever goes on here will be brought up in the Quarterly Mod dinner at The Sizzler. Over Spaghetti Tacos, us mods will discuss additions/subtractions from the Blacklist and announce them tomorrow. We will consider suggestions here but ultimately, us mods will have final say before our third trip to the salad bar.
Also please provide links to said problem rather than a popular band you dislike. Some removals will not show up on searches but we will be aware of them.

Current Blacklist
The sidebar was running out of room so we had to move it to the wiki. For anyone who is just sick of this shit and wants to go to a place where there are no rules, we have set up a mod interference free colony over at /r/metalfree . while this is a small sub, more people would help it grow and turn it into a force that could overthrow this sub.
