Blacklisting

1.Nopp
2.None i think its stupid
3.Might be yea :P

I don't think its possible to blacklist users from giveaways? I've did a quick search in the 'FAQ and guidelines' thread and didn't find anything.

Either way, I wouldn't. Unless if a group giveaway count as 'blacklisting'.

As far as I know can Blacklist people in your private giveaways

I have a mental blacklist consisting of one person who was just a complete asshat. The only person to not thank me after winning is Jeyko so maybe he should be added to my blacklist :)

1) Not yet. Probably won't ever.

2) ^

3) Hmmm depends really.

1) Yes

2) Leecher, people who act like assholes in chats, scammer, people who cant comment/say thanks on giveaways

3) Depends..

I think blacklists are basically stupid; but I guess people are free to choose who they don't want to give free games to...

I don't have a blacklist, and I don't feel the need of having one. In the case of blacklisting due to lack of gratitude, I'd say no for public giveaways. In case of group giveaways, well, if you don't like how a group member behaves, why are you in the same group with him / her?

1) Yes

2) Because they dont thank, leechers

3) Absolutely. This is the most basic form of courtesy to say thanks when u receive something for free

Yes

1. Yes.

2. Being a complete and total arsehole to people, puzzle leaking, spamming, being a moron like the world has rarely seen, sexual harrassment and my personal favourite, "posting far too much Dolan". Yes, that's really one of the reasons I wrote down. Some of the people on my blacklist are banned permanently. They're there anyway, for posterity.

3. Yes, and thank you for reminding me to add someone onto my blacklist. I'd totally forgotten about them.

I would blacklist anyone that hasn't even given away a single game after winning 3 giveaways
if I could at least

1. Nope. There's some people I don't like for various reasons, but banning them from my giveaways is too much of a hassle. Public giveaways are for everyone including jackasses, and private/group giveaways already tend to keep out the worst riff-raff.

2. N/A, but the people on my Steam blocklist are all scammers, beggars, and one or two who were just extremely annoying.

3. Fuck off. I'm very much in favor of saying thank you for giveaways, but making it mandatory is just retarded and defeats the purpose.

1. Yes.

2. Racism, spoiling puzzles, trading wins, harassment, spamming, telling people to kill themselves, just to name a few.

3. Yes.

Edit: Also, blacklists are valid for private and group giveaways only, not public.

1. Yes.

2. I'm not going to call-out anyone in public, I'm not a politician (but in private... :P).

3. Sir, chapter "Chat Room, Forum, and Site Etiquette": "Always thank submitters. Thanking is not required to enter a giveaway.". Personally, I would try to make that motherfu... uhm, "careless mean person" banned on that. Actually, I didn't try to check how this rule works - in the past all people who didn't thank me turned out to just grab the game and sell it, so they're banned on different basis.

No, no and yes. Blacklists are only required IMO if you give away games in poorly maintained groups otherwise any assholes/leechers/disruptions will get kicked/banned in short order.

No reason to blacklist when they can just outright ban

I think you can blacklist people on private but not public. And well as far as for the entire site, that is what the ban is for.

It would be cool if you dont thank someone, you cant enter.
