Can only be implemented by GM, can only be lifted by GM, via automated ticket. The automatic functions are auto-approved, these functions include everything the current "blacklist" offers. However, if the report is investigated to be true and the offending player is flagged by multiple blacklist requests citing actual offences, GM will investigate and take action as necessary.
If action is taken, the requesting player will be "offered" additional options, and depending on the severity of the case, options of character name/image change, server transfer, two-way hard-coded concealment of in-game character and assets (yes, find a way to implement that code), and other supportive actions. May be transferred to customer support.
This is not a good suggestion. Game staff is incredibly small compared to your playerbase. This would require a system that knows who you're reporting and why. This does not consider players that will blacklist first (trust me, they exist, even if you don't think they do). This also doesn't prevent blacklist request spamming, and vicariously, floods the GMs' ticket queues, making investigations take even longer (because now they have to sort through spam). The end result you suggest is a player being given free pay items. That's a recipe for abuse right there. There are resources outside of the game to track who players are and were that are beyond SE's control.
