Too many people are trying to answer the question "is it possible to get a malicious viewer registered on the TPV directory". While the answer is most certainly yes the question is rather irrelevant. The important question is "will malicious viewers be put in the TPV directory". I'm pretty sure that anybody intentionally providing a malicious viewer is a moron if he registers for the directory. The attention it'll attracts most certainly will lead to a user that blows the whistle. There's simply no point in registering it on the list as your risk of getting caught.rises significantly. As such I don't think you'll see many malicious viewers in the TPV directory.
Blacklists on the other hand are silly as everybody and his dog can provide a viewer and use the fact that it's not on the black list to coach users into using it. As they can do this by any means and don't need to go thru official pages it'll certainly take longer before their cover is blown. So in practice when weighing both against eachother it's quite hard to imagine a real life situation where the concept of a TPV directory loses to a black list. No system is perfect and as such you can theorise all day about what could happen. In the end though that doesn't make a worse system any better. The TPV directory will in general lead to better results than a black list so that's what LL should work on regardless of its remaining imperfections.
