I haven't had it happen, but I've been told that with the feedback loop in place they send you a warning when you near the threshold for being blacklisted. I imagine those thresholds are dynamic and/or adjustable, which is probably why they can't tell you what they are.

We've only been blacklisted for about 4 hours once before. I don't know the exact threshold either for when they start blocking unfortunately. Second level AOL techs couldn't tell me either when I contacted them.
