So I blacklisted this guy who didn't thank me after receiving the gift from my giveaway. And couple of days later he gave me -1 trade feedback here on SG with the comment "blacklist". I don't really care since I don't trade but...why. It's not even related...some people's reasoning is floating out there somewhere, I guess.

EDIT: It seems to be all good now. I'm surprised it was this fast :o Thank you all for making SG a bit better by reporting the guy :)

EDIT Nr. 2: It seems he just deleted it himself since someone commented about his rule breaking in his old GA. Avoiding fire, I guess.

Yes, it is important. I give games rarely since I don't have much money. And when someone just takes them without a word (in that case, without even a bump on the thread before), I blacklist them. Blacklist is not a big deal in the end, right? Just like thanks :)))))

I saying thx if i win smth, idk if its important but its minimal that u can do for it. Its okay. But by point of view its not case to blacklisting. (blacklisting isnt important here, here is so much blacklisting without reason so its completly okay.)

Yes it is.

I don't care if someone wins from me but doesn't thank to me. But it's important that the person who wins something must appreciate the gift. And the only way to show that is thanking the giveaway creator unless I'm not a God.

Yeah I agree. Without saying anything it seems like they take the game as if it was a gleam raffle or something, just to farm it and leave.

+1 not saying thanks is the #1 reason for getting on my blacklist!

If you're on the street and you see a beggar/musician/human statue and you give him money and he just ignores you, how would you react/feel? Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean the simpelest of all courtesy rules don't apply all of a sudden!

I was taught by my parents to say thank you when somebody gave something to me, be it a gift or a slice of meat at the butchers. So guess what I'm thinking about all these people who don't say thanks...

One particularly sad thing is that I have been complimented in my grandmother's church because I say thank you when appropriate. I shouldn't be complimented on something so simple. If I am, that means that many people aren't doing it (which they have confirmed), and that's really depressing.

Yes it's important. It's the least they can do when they get a game for free. You already don't have to do anything for the game (except maybe if it was hidden in a puzzle or something), so taking ten seconds of your time to thank the person that gave it to you is not that hard to do.

It makes me a bit edgy, though nothing I'd lose sleep over.

Here's an idea I've daydreamed about: a weighted number for your trade feedback that takes into account who feedback comes from. Right now every positive feedback is +1 and every negative is -1. My idea is to give each user a number that would determine how much their feedback counts. Do you have no trade experience, low feedback numbers, or a very new account? Then your feedback counts fairly little. Do you have lots of good feedback? Then your ratings count a lot.

What do you think? Would that be an improvement?

That would be a bit unfair.
A new trader gets scammed, his feedback doesn't matter.
An experienced trader gets offended, his feedback matters so he starts -rep people that offeded him.

7 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

You might be right. I wonder if there isn't something workable in the vicinity of this idea though...

My thought was mostly this: unfair feedback is often reciprocated. People are therefore least likely to give it if they have more too loose (a good established reputation, say), and people who do give it are likely to have a blotchy trade record themselves. Have you often seen experienced traders with great records be petty like that? I feel like it doesn't happen very often.

The Guidelines are pretty clear:

Trade feedback should only be used to describe your personal trading experience with a user. It should not be used (i) to post negative comments when you disagree with someone's offer, (ii) for revenge or retaliation when someone leaves you negative feedback, or (iii) for unrelated comments or trading experiences not directly involving you.

Report him and try to get the feedback removed. If he keeps doing it, in theory he'll be permabanned eventually.

Blacllisting someone for not getting a thanks for a shared game is totally okay. It's your own blacklist and you can individually decide who and why to blacklist!

I would report him due to Misleading Trade Feedback. Sadly this will just lead to a 5 days ban.

She might always decide to trade later on. And with (0,-1) it will be an issue. More so, if she blacklists somebody who also leaves fake rep for it (this guy isn't the only one).

Well now that jerk and rule breaker (misuse of trade feedback) got blacklist from me too, and I'm sure will get blacklists from some other people who read your thread. And if you report him he will get banned as well.

Support > Create a new Ticket

Reason: Misuse of trade feedback

While most support tickets take long to resolve, or never get resolved I think the ones for misuse of giveaway and trade feedback usually get resolved relatively quickly, within a day or two.

I agree - the negative feedback sucks.

However, I think it is really not very easy to please blacklisters.

  • If you don't write "thanks", you may be blacklisted for not saying thanks.
  • If you write "thanks", you may be blacklisted because it was not laborious enough.
  • If you write something longer - more labourious, you may be blacklisted because it was too boring or anoying.
  • If you write anything and you wrote the same also in previous GA, you may be blacklisted for not being original enough.
  • If you write anything, you may be blacklisted because the giver don't allow anyone to win twice.

I myself always thank when I won but I am never sure if it will be good enough for the GA giver. All this BL thing is really ridiculous for me. That's why i use only whitelist.

Pro tip for the future if you have issues in SG:

Search the forums - I searched "-rep" in all discussions and got these results 1 2 3 those are just a few of the many!

And then just sending tickets in general for dup keys, fake rep, fake giveaways etc
