Indeed, blanket banning is never going to be a welcome option - but didn't Google do this a while back with some of the UK domain types? Also, has anyone here ever seen much of .me.uk sites ranking in Google? I run a few, and though not great content sites they are active blogs - which don't even rank for their own names.

Sure, I know SEO and the need for links, but these have them, but easily underperform my .co.uk and .org.uk domains. Actually planning to move .me.uk sites to new .co.uk domains.

I think Google have made it plain that there are certain domain extensions that they will trust less - so while they'll maybe not intentionally kill a site because of its TLD, it's going to make it harder for certain TLD's to be useful for ranking purposes.
