Post from the forums and the blacklist won't affect you.

I disagree, terp, and here's why. See, you only see when you've been blacklisted, but 90% of the people on my blacklist are trolls that if they ever pop their ugly heads up again, should never EVER be allowed anywhere on the site. In addition, I know of people who have been stalked by acquaintances online who use their blacklist for a darn good reason. Virtually everyone on here has someone, somewhere on their blacklist.

You can have an article with comments completely disabled on the featured articles list. It makes no sense to ban blacklisted articles from the front page.

BTW, you got early parole. Precisely because you DIDN'T try to do an end around my blacklist. Had you done so, had you commented on the front page because it was allowed, you'd be approaching permanent status. Seriously.
