Blackballing is a voting system, a variant of disapproval voting. Its origins are unclear but it has reportedly been used by the Freemasons and other secret societies. Essentially the blackball system gives every voter anonymous veto power.
Consumerium Governance Organization may use it for some functions, like, trolls, collectively, voting to remove a sysop's power to block IP.
With enough sysops, a troll-as-voter, sysop-as-politician system may evolve.
