Comment Black lists (Score 1) 547
The people upstairs are working on a blacklist of people telemarketers can't call. How hard would it be to set up some database with all the sites that use annoying advertisements?
When a new site is added, it e-mails the webmasters, telling them about the database and why they've been blacklisted and what not. Browsers could then access the database and display a warning, those who are interested in fighting can decide based on the value of the site whether to view it or have the database send another e-mail saying you just lost another hit. Those who don't give a dern can just turn off the messages.
I'd assume there'd have to be some method of verification to prevent Joe Bob from blacklisting his ex's boyfriend and other such revenge. (This is assuming that upon discovering an annoying site, a person can make an addition/suggestion to the database people.) But I'm not sure of the best way to implement this.
