I don't think Black would necessarily be a "scam ribbon". One could obtain the Black Ribbon by a completely honest proposal - they would just have to incentivize other players to vote for it. True, the "incentive" may take the form of money, but also endorsements on other votes etc. I'm for keeping it.
