Cloud Strife, it is not against the rules to not VTE or accept a surrender, it is part of the game to have a choice in these matters. Blacklisting people disagree with you is incorrect.
Surely Blacklisting people who disagree with you is correct? The whole point of Blacklisting is to tailor your Warlight experience to only players with views and play styles that you enjoy, that way we can all get the most enjoyment out of the game.
Why should anyone have to play a game with someone they don't like?
Sometimes I feel like people resort to the blacklist too quickly. I myself was once blacklisted by a prominent member of the community merely for asking questions in what was essentially a rigged lottery game. But to each their own, I suppose.

I agree fully with that. I usually save my blacklist (which is about 10 total) for people who either act like total dicks to get them an advantage (strategic booting and the likes), repeatedly prove that they are illiterate and/or retarded (people who completely disregard the rules in diplo games or scenarios, like people in diplos who feel the need to immediately attack everyone around them without declaring on the first turn, several games in a row), and finally people who are just plain around assholes in games. I don't blacklist people unless I've played several games with them and they acted similarly (negative way) every time. Forum disputes are not a valid reason to blacklist someone in my opinion. I've tried to send mail to certain people in the past only to see they've blacklisted me out of nowhere, and with no valid reason.
Summary- Blacklisting should be saved for those who truly deserve it, and not simply thrown around like candy at a parade.
accepting or not accepting a surrender is a part of the strategy to me sens some will attack you for net accepting and some will not, but I always accept if gets close to them getting booted.
