<div>True. If you’re listing only two BLs - one reputable and the other UCEPROTECT.. there are many other public block lists, ok fewer than there were in the 2000s but still ..</div>

<div class="PlainText">Hi.<br>
<br>
Let me disagree on this misconcept of "endorsement" or "reference" or<br>
"reporting".<br>
<br>
There are **plenty** blacklists out there.<br>
<br>
RIPE reports specifically UCEPROTECT and SPAMHAUS.<br>
<br>
This kind of usage and reference by RIPE empirically<br>
supports/endorses/make those as a reference. (or a troll feeded)<br>
<br>
If ripe community dont feel it that way then, imo they should either:<br>
<br>
a) add more blacklists checks and not only those (in order to avoid<br>
discrimination to other blacklist operators)<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
b) remove blacklist reports at all, so it keeps a neutral position on<br>
this.<br>
<br>
btw, how many of you already got fresh allocations from RIPE that were<br>
blacklisted from some of those, and had challenges to start using those<br>
and/or get them scrubbed raise the hand.<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
