It reduces the connections to suspicious, potentially useless or even counterproductive nodes in the Monero network. It is not absolutely necessary that you make this setting, but it would support the entire Monero network. Thank you.

Monero GUI wallet

If your run your own local node through the GUI wallet, go to Settings. In the “Daemon startup flags” box, input “–ban-list ”. Then click the orange “Stop daemon” button. It will take a few seconds for the daemon to shut down. Then click the orange “Start daemon” button. If you use a remote node, whoever operates the remote node will decide if the ban list is enabled.

✋ node operators enable a ban list

The Monero Research Lab (MRL) has decided to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list
