    Because deleting older names on your blacklist is so hard right?
    SE should increase the data size for every character to compensate for your laziness.

    Or maybe the people in charge of taking care of names being blacklisted shouldn't be so lazy?? I've been capped at 200 for a month now and remove 5 names a day from the top, this isn't deleted names its straight names that are still in existence, which would suggest that the people taking care of such things, aren't on top of it like they should be. I add like 20 a day....

    It takes 2 seconds to delete each, multiplied by 200. That's a valid argument if there was an easy way to clear BL or if deleted characters were automatically removed.

    Auto-removal of deleted characters really should be a thing.

    A delete all function would be useful, but still the solution is not to simply expand. Data expands to fill the space available for storage. Meaning to the types of people who ask for these sorts of things, those who are too lazy to do a little housekeeping themselves, SE will never add enough storage.
    What you're saying is a true, a delete all function or an automatic removal for deleted characters would be the optimal addition.

    Not every character that is banned is deleted. This is not because SE isn't doing their job, it is so that if they make a mistake, such as banning a character that has been hacked or used without the owners permission, it is reversible. Generally if you are receiving RMT spam from a character it will have been banned within a few hours. There is no need to leave these characters on your black list for more than a day, if that.

    I became unwilling to remove some of them RMT shouters / tellers because I used to remove them once and the tell came back again from the removed person, probably because one week wasn't long enough. So I just kept all blacklisted people on my blacklist. It has become a habit HAHAHA.

    That's why it grew to 179/200 for me now. I try to delete the (deleted) character once in a while so I'm not really capped at 200/200. It would be nicer if we can select multiple persons and remove from blacklist at the same time, though.

    Also, after a week of adding to blacklist (which, in my opinion, is a reasonable cool down time to remove from blacklist) sometimes I can't remember whether I blacklisted the person for RMT tell or not (nowadays they start using names that seem legit). I would hate to accidentally remove annoying people/emote spammer/rude people/verbal abusive people/etc. So, a separated list (one for RMT only, other for others) will also be a nice addition.

    You can clear your blist, all rmt spamers are gone with in hrs. I don't use mine anymore for rmt, just annoying people as I never get the same rmt twice.

    That's nice. Last time I remember not blacklisting a RMT who sent tell (which happened like probably 3 months ago) was when I went AFK for lunch, I came back to my PC with about 7 tells from the same person. By the time I got back, the person was already gone and I couldn't add them to my blacklist, though. It became a habit to blacklist RMT tells.
