It's not possible to say "this was denylisted" for example.
- btgeekboy 6y ago"This was denylisted" works perfectly fine. It's no different grammatically from "This was blacklisted;" the only difference is you aren't used to it yet.
- LudwigNagasena 6y ago“Black” is an adjective and “deny” is a verb, so the compound words derived from them may work differently.
- alacombe 6y agoIsn't the whole concept behind "denylisting" introducing harmful remainder of segregation and discrimination ?
- hardlianotion 6y agoDenylisted looks like it was assembled by committee.

- pseudalopex 6y agoIt's just not recommended. And it's just because saying what adding something to the list does is more precise than saying black list or deny list.
- Pfhreak 6y agoDenylist contains the verb you are looking for, the phrase would be, "This was denied." That's the point of the change -- it's clearer about what happened.
- thinkingemote 6y agoThanks, that helps shine some light on it!
- stordoff 6y agoIt's only not recommended (not "don't use"), so presumably can be used if it's the clearest way to describe something: > Not recommended: To denylist an IP address, add it to the dos.yaml file.
