Blocking Me, Blocking You

Are there any shared blocklists for the Google Personal Blocklist extension?

(Yes, I have Googled this myself in various ways and found nothing. I have tried the hard way and searched for spammy keywords just to populate my own list.)

In theory, Google itself is a shared blocklist, as it will eventually take into account blocked items that occur in many blocklists.

"The extension sends information about the blocked site to Google and the feedback on blocking could potentially affect Google's ranking system for search results."

This does not help you at this moment but it may be worth waiting.
