I blacklist people because I love them.

I've been blacklisted for being gay. Now I ask people to blacklist me for that ahead of time. Saves us both the trouble of running into each other. :)
I only blacklisted people who are really irritating beggars (on Steam) or treated me/others particularly poorly (like this one guy I helped fix his computer without asking for anything in return, then one day out of the blue he just messaged me while I was in-game calling me every name in the book --- I'm not talking about people leaving stupid comments or whatever).
My whitelist, on the other hand, is getting crazy huge. I guess I like most people. lol

How so? Someone not thinking I'm equal and/or deserves to be treated like a human being is particularly poor behavior. I'm referencing stupid/spammy comments, which I find a petty reason to blacklist, but it happens. Not that I care about anyone else's blacklists anyway. It's theirs to do what they want.
I'm not sure this argument should get blown up again. There's already an entire thread full of reasons I don't want to spend money on people who don't think I deserve happiness. And I'm quite fine with being blacklisted in return. That's why I ask in advance now. No reason they should spend their money on someone they feel is inferior.

Fun little side note: I was actually blacklisted by at least one or more people for being gay before your thread. Clearly I can't say names, but it was a thread about the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, I hadn't even spoken directly to anyone with a different view than mine, suddenly the homophobes come in full force (because not clicking a LGBT support thread is too hard), spew hate speech and blacklist all of us, including straight allies. Nice.
By the time a second LGBT support thread showed up and people just could not stand to be polite in a thread all about trying to make others feel accepted... I may have already been pissed. :p

For some reason I thought I replied to this...
I remember that thread; I actually posted a historical note about male relationships in the medieval period: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/uYAM8/queer-daymandatory-ga-inside#gbStgRY
I found a lot of people to blacklist there, too:)

I think I know what made you to start this topic :)
As for me: once I entered someone's whitelist GA for bundled game. I thanked for it and said something like I even forgot that I was on his/her whitelist and am grateful for being there. Then I found myself blacklisted :D:

You still pissed of at this!
Well try doing public giveaways more or give games in public groups rather than giving to few specific people!
I follow a rule if you only gives games between your friends then you should only join giveaways of your friends. I black listed you for that exact same reason. I would prefer to give games to people who are open minded and love to share. You see even if I get black listed from such people it doesn't effect me at all as you only will share in a small group so whatever the reason I cant join your giveaways ever.

see no reason to justifiy my actions to anyone. not agree at being BL, anyone free.
i found the reason annoying. like i said above (just now, you hadn't read it). not knowing was better.

Sometimes I blacklist those who say "Thanks" on regifter's GAs. Especially the ones that are really obvious so it's usually bots, I guess, that I don't want winning my GAs...

I've never blacklisted anyone, and as far as I know I haven't been blacklisted, although if I have it was probably for forgetting to say thanks.

Is it alright I laughed? Because that's hilarious. lol

Worst reason I've blacklisted someone for ?
Obvious, verifiable and repeated regifting and/or not activiating wins. Also the only reasons why I blacklist people. I fear that in due time the list will overflow anyway.
Worst reason I've been blacklisted ?
Well, there was that one time when I accidentally set off someone's bot trap. And that's the only time I found out I got blacklisted so far as well. I'm probably on more lists, but I'm not really bothered by that,

I dont know if i am blacklisted but also i dont care, its not something serious in first person to give attention.
I have blacklisted some guys that i dont like their personality, blacklisted a cookie one month ago.

Yet to find I'm on a blacklist.
I just blacklist non activators, regifters and some free game giveaway-makers.

Yep, it's very likely. Everyone could easily have typed something that another took umbrage with.
Failing that, well they just might not like someone's profile or the way they win/give even if they've broken no rules. Posting on here certainly brings attention to yourself and everything you do. I'd be surprised if I wasn't blacklisted by at least one person.

Well, I've blacklisted people for being gigantic jacka**es on the forum (99% of my BList: very rude, very insulting, intentionally breaking the rules even after being warned), those who regifted and, once, I BLed several people for not saying "thank you" after winning the games. Now, the thing is, I gave away a number of games that day and I received only one thanks from one of the winners. Usually I don't get my panties in a bunch over that (a lot of people before and after who did that didn't get on the BL) but for some reason that hurt my feelings and the rest of them ended up BLed. :(
I got BLed 3 times that I know of and for 2 of them it was due to misunderstandings. I asked the 2 of them why it happened (because I really liked them and wanted to apologize if I unintentionally hurt their feelings in any way) and the whole thing got resolved immediately. As for the 3rd one... I didn't really know him and he has a BList so huge that I didn't even wanna bother asking... xD

Yup, you and YunieRozier.
Those were the only 2 blacklists (that were meant to be permanent from the people I like and that I know of; another one was a part of the social experiment, also from a person I like, but only supposed to last for a few days so I'm not really counting it) that I cared about when I found out and really wanted to know why that happened.
Can't have people on my whitelist thinking poorly about me, now can I? xD

Pffff... Internet, real life... It's all the same.
We've all known people in real life for years without really knowing them.
If anything, you get to know people's characters online better when they know no retribution can come for "misbehaving".. The worst thing that can happen to someone online is to get "banished" from a certain community and that's not a real tragedy. In real life you're more likely to suffer serious and more permanent consequences.
Here, if you mess up badly enough and still want to come back with a fresh stat all you've gotta do is make another account.
Comment has been collapsed.
That might be true but you're missing a lot of components that make social interaction what it is while at the same time the internet adds things that you wouldn't do or can't do in real life. It's a completely different thing. Knowing someone on the internet isn't the same as knowing someone in real life. I still stand by what I've said. You weren't able to like me at all, although I'm an awesome person. ( ͡͡ ° ͜ ʖ ͡ °)

Sort of On-Topic, I do know the 1 thing that will get somebody Blacklisted from me. I like to think I'm a fairly easy going person, despite my belief that whilst individuals can be intelligent the human race as a collective are thick as pig-shit, but anybody making any jokes about child abuse, in any form, kiddie pr0n, deliberate physical harm to kids, etc. There are some things that just aren't funny and shouldn't be joked about. I know a few people who make comments about rape while they're trying to be funny, in fact, I think there were memes about it not too long back,........Lemme see if I can find one......Yep, there we go, down at the bottom................Those, while I find them utterly devoid of humour, and frankly disgusting, those, for the most part, I can tolerate but like I said, somethings are just not funny to anybody with even just a modicum of decency
But, maybe I'm too uptight about it. I often feel like I was the last person local to me who was raised with any morals......And I'm a fucking Pirate!!

Never seen anyone on the forum joking about any of that fortunately.

Fortunately it is rare, for the most part, unless you come across an especially unambitious and imbecilic troll who has to use it as their bait because they're not intelligent enough to come up with anything else
Comment has been collapsed.
See? Now THAT is a tasteful-ish joke about the subject. We know what it means, of course, in a sarcastic way, and it's also a good guideline for "The Limit", or at least for me, personally. It implies but never crosses the invisible decency boundary in doing so

I thought there were slim pickings this afternoon

I understand what are you trying to say but I must disagree with the part of "some things are just not funny to anybody"
When talking to someone on internet I try to avoid imposing my values and opinions on them. I do not speak for anyone, only myself and I only split humor in two: the things I find funny and the things I do not find funny. The latter I just acknowledge and then proceed to ignore.
Humor is also an excellent way to tackle the issues of rape, child molestation and such, for example. These are all terrible things and they instill fear into people. Add some humor to it and you take that power of fear away from them.
Never allow yourself to get caught in a trap of political correctness and moral police.
https://louisck.net/news/about-tig-notaro
I hadn't seen Tig in about a year and I said how are you? She replied "well I found out today that I have cancer in both breasts and that it has likely spread to my lymph nodes. My doctor says it looks real bad. ". She wasn't kidding. I said "uh. Jesus. Tig. Well. Do you... Have your family... Helping?". She said "well my mom was with me but a few weeks ago she fell down, hit her head and she died". She still wasn't kidding.
Now, I'm pretty stupid to begin with, and I sure didn't know what to say now. I opened my mouth and this came out. "jeez, Tig. I. Really value you. Highly.". She said "I value you highly too, Louie.". Then she held up a wad of note-paper in her hand and said "I'm gonna talk about all of it on stage now. It's probably going to be a mess". I said "wow". And with that, she went on stage.
The show was an amazing example of what comedy can be. A way to visit your worst fears and laugh at them. Tig took us to a scary place and made us laugh there. Not by distracting us from the terror but by looking right at it and just turning to us and saying "wow. Right?". She proved that everything is funny. And has to be. And she could only do this by giving us her own death as an example. So generous.
Everything can be funny and nothing should be off limits.
P.S.
Besides, how you can you not laugh at the mental image of two clowns raping each other? That's just hilarious.

You forgot the rest of the sentence, possibly the most important part. "somethings are just not funny to anybody with even just a modicum of decency"

Revenge blacklisting is the only bad thing.
Most people are blacklisted for good reasons, if they turn around and blacklist blindly without reason, only hurts them further.
(I've blacklisted someone for being a total racist asshole, they then turn around and blacklist me for trying to enlighten them.)
Said people should form their own group and lave us alone ;/
Comment has been collapsed.
never try to enlighten people. you never know what will come out.
honestly, i don't try to change people. not directly anyway
Comment has been collapsed.
agreed.. I've revenge blacklist people all the time. Why should they be allowed to enter my giveaway when I cant enter theirs? its only fair.
I always give them the option to make peace. I will not hesitate to apologize if I did something wrong, and I don't hold grudges.

Just got blacklisted by someone making a giveaway, after they said they didn't know if the game was region specific and it was up to people entering the giveaway to check if it was region specific. I posted that since their inventory was set to private we couldn't see the gifts. I told them it was up to them to check the region of the gift before posting it on Steamgifts and to use the proper region limiting options while making the giveaway.
Their response was "Sadly I just have keys, no inv items so no way to see."
And of course they blacklisted me....
They did have something about not saying thank you, but I never said thank you, I informed them of the issue with telling people to check to see if its region blocked before entering his giveaway, which we can't because its a key he got from somewhere.
Seriously, that is one of the dumbest reasons to blacklist someone.
Oh and the person is not technically a noob, they have been on steamgifts for 3 years.
