Summary
Setting a blacklist on a Trackmania server allows the user to permanently prevent specific, unwanted players from joining the games. It is crucial for removing disruptive individuals, such as cheaters, griefers, or those consistently breaking server rules. By effectively blocking problematic players, a blacklist helps maintain a positive, fair, and enjoyable environment for a legitimate community.
