I would've gone with yeslist/nolist - due to being shorter in writing and speech.
- Dma54rhs 6y agoWhy go with anything other than blacklist since people know what it means. It's the peak irony that we're discussing Google banning profanities here and arguing about your puritanical society. Unfortunately it seems the less religious Americans think it's only the dumb hypocrite Christians acting like that. We, Silicon Valley liberals, surely don't have anything to do with that culture!
