BenK, i have a suggestion (this does not apply to people you already trust):
Consider using an empty base as a "trading post" location. If you take payments in advance it means nobody can ever gank you. With no way to gank you, you won't need a black list. I hate black lists because they can be endless - any single player can be on that list a hundred times with all different chars and the burden is always on you to keep updating the list.
Instead, ditch the need for any list at all, and get payments in advance. You stash the payment and then you take the client to your trading post where they pick up the item(s) they bought, in an otherwise empty base. No way to gank you, no need for mercs, no need for protection from friends, and no need for a black list.
You could do this now since you already have a good reputation - people are learning they can trust you. This is how i plan to run my warehouse, so we could establish a standard.
