After an internal discussion, we've come to the conclusion that FSE staff will not interfere in these matters. We will only interfere if the lists are derogatory or deliberately insulting towards an individual, or otherwise go against any of the FSE forum rules. This thread has been reverted to how it was previously.
I would encourage thread owners to respect the wishes of individual members not to be listed on such lists, but as said, requests to be removed is not something we will act on any longer.
