Black White Deny Block Accept List

I am totally ok with getting rid of master, slave, blacklist, whitelist and such. But it seems there is a lack of agreement on what to use instead. Blocklist, DenyList, AllowList, AcceptList _and _Welcome-List are all not a good fit, the world generally agrees.

The obvious solution Pirate- and NinjaList is also not welcomed for unknown reasons.

So I decide here for all of us now:
BlackList is now NopeList
WhiteList is now AyeList

Case closed. See you at the bar
