Hi Jill, thanks for the feedback and support!

I really love the non-verbose nature of the kitten's interactions and she actually hasn't received any negative feedback so far. I am still unsure how she got blacklisted to begin with, a single flag by an irritated user would have been fine, legit and totally acceptable... as a matter of fact, the kitten understands a flag and will never comment or vote the flagging user again.

The black-listing and auto flagging is a different story, but gladly the kitten has been getting a lot of positive support during this short crisis and upon closer inspection of the situation her ban was lifted without much fuzz.

In the end all is good and I'll have to file this under well-intended-policing-getting-out-of-hand!
