@Mark , thanks for your input! I don't know how Siniy-Kits solution works 
other than vaguely understanding what he explains 
<https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/xQJ_J0AVyfM/m/G8UFicZnAQAJ>.  But 
it is worth noting that "all that is needed" is some mechanism in TW that 
can "pull in" a JSON webpage: Here 
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QUoZosiS3emBQNM_HugaptU5qY1Ze5lBQXVd8yZit6A/edit#gid=1720443340>
 
is the regular Google sheet and here 
<https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/1QUoZosiS3emBQNM_HugaptU5qY1Ze5lBQXVd8yZit6A/1/public/full?alt=json>is
 
its automatically generated JSON version. 

About a "ban list"; maybe the shop blocks people who have misbehaved?
