I don't actually have anyone on my blacklist at the moment but recently I've been finding it harder and harder to resist the temptation of having a a blacklist filled with people that have been purely asshole-ish or just rude in general following the standards of 'rude' on the internet (mostly the people that think getting you to respond and repeatedly proclaiming that your are mad and cry a lot aka trolls).

I have one person on my whitelist, Nokkenbuer. I remember he earned the spot because he tends to be very helpful and when he discusses something he gives lots of details and provides a lot to the discussion itself.

EDIT: My previous comment was purely comedic. Although, a personal witch hunt sounds interesting, it is very hypocritical.

They're very pedantic, and frequently interesting, but I'm honestly not sure I've ever actually seen them be helpful.

I suppose it is dependant on chance and opinion.

I blacklist when I get verbally insulted. e.g you're moron stupid idiot. Not because I need to stop them from entering my giveaway, it is simply to have an easier mark attached to their name in SG so I can remember (and troll them in the future) easily.

But the worst reason probably I blacklisted someone for the sake of testing userscript. =x

Well, I released him from the blacklist anyway. xD

to be a bit philosophical here, the worst reason to be blacklisted is no reason at all.

To some people, no. It means you consciously chose to not make an effort. That's why I post an amusing or interesting picture as a way to thank someone. Typically, I pick a picture for the day and then just pick a new one the next day.

a lot of people blacklisted me because I said "I think voting on greenlight just to get a key" is wrong and you are the reason why green light is bad". I'm still sticking to it.. don't care..

That reason is not even worth blacklisting for, for it's just a normal opinion / stance. If people think it's good to vote for key for the sake of getting a key, it's their prerogative. And so is your opinion of voting for a key is a wrong thing to do.

If every argument resulted in blacklist I think we all would have blacklisted each others since the beginning. Thankfully there are still some common sense around here.

I was blacklisted for telling a giveaway creator that he couldn't ask for a reroll if the winner didn't mark their gift received within an hour of the giveaway ending. I wonder if he also blacklisted the people that replied with +1.

As for the worst reason I blacklisted someone? I'm not sure wich is worst, forgetting why you had someone is blacklisted or blacklisting someone because a friend asked you to.

The worst reason for blacklisting is because you say thanks.
Second worst reason for blacklisting is because of entering a giveaway.
Third worst reason for blacklisting is because you won the giveaway.
Fourth worst reason for blacklisting is because you don't comment on a giveaway.

But they're only worst if these reasons aren't stated in a description. By stating them, at least, you let a choice. I still don't agree with them though.

I rarely blacklist. I don't even blacklist regifters. I've 5 people on it for serious reasons. My ignore list on PB is longer though. With two people having me pissed at trying to deny my right to say happy something day that what's happening in my country because it wasn't worldwide.

I don't know why I would be blacklisted apart for winning a giveaway or for an opinion on the forums.

Ok, how about this one?
I found a GTA V giveaway from a brand new user who had made two giveaways for a total of 3 copies of GTA V.

People were already commenting "fake" and similar comments, but I instead thanked the giveaway creator, and said that I was impressed by such an amazing first giveaway.

Some user then called me a "scumbag" for my comment and blacklisted me.

(Later it was revealed that the giveaways for GTA V were indeed fake, with the giveaway creator blocking the winners on Steam... but at the time I was blacklisted, the normal thing would still be to let the giveaway run its course and have hope in that the giveaway creator would come through in the end.)

Can't ask everyone on the internet to be mature. Those people who called out fake will eventually get their just bans.

i'm in some blacklists mostly revenge ones,and a couple of others maybe because i don't comment on every giveaway if they have no destription to do so(but i always thank later if i win).
once i won a giveaway and the key given to me was a duplicate one so i added the giver and told him so,he gave me another one working this time so i marked received and thanked him,after a minute i saw that he blacklisted me,when i asked him the reason he said i won too many times from him(2nd time that was) but i knew that was bullshit because he had winners who won more than 2 times from him so the reason probably was because he thought i was scamming him for a second key or something.that was the stupidest reason ever so i blacklisted him back and that is the only "revenge" blacklisting i have,the others have their reasons so i don't mind.
others on my blacklist are mostly rule breakers and assholes(like the one posting for too many overture giveaways and said most giveaways in here are shit).

the duplicate key thing is a problem. you are sure the key is fine, than it is not.
cannot prove anything, and hope that if indeed you were scammed the scammer would XXX (enter what ever you want)

had a duplicate myslef once (both won and given). it's not fun,

I send a gift to a user, he marked it as received. And the gift stayed received for a few months. One day while checking stuff in SG i see that the gift is now marked as not received. It was HB gift link, and i send it trough email. Quick inspection on the gift link showed that it was claimed. Yet it was not claimed on the user account (maybe he traded it or i don't know...). And that is why i blacklisted him.

Meh, I do a lot of GA's but mostly don't BL. Thanks, no thanks. Botters. I really don't care. I have a hard time remembering to thank the person that I won a GA from if I win (simply because I have a bad memory process in the past few years). At regular times I do check my GA's if they're actually in the account. BL's can only happen if I find someone especially offensive in the forums which I actually only read at rare times.

indeed a lot of GA. and i agree with you. stopped blacklisting also.

I never changed my name: been here since they Steam started because it was needed for CS 1.6 at the time, which I played about 6 hrs a day at the time and I can tell you. Steam sucked in the beginning. So yes, I was here first :P. Have been using this name in CS, ETQW and other shooters.

BTW There's always enough groove to shake your booty in the funk zone.

My blacklist is tiny, coz I blacklist regifters, scammers and entitled morons, who say that giveaways here are shitty. I have a feeling I landed on more than a few blacklists but at least I know the reason for one blacklisting - differences of viewpoints on racial representation in Witcher III ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

usually the ones I blacklist are the ones that say thanks or like that one guy with the exact same message on all his entries and he maybe gave one game and had 120 wins. If you say thanks a lot before the giveaway ends and I check your profile and it looks like you are a leecher thats a blacklist for me. I mean if you won 120 games and only gave away 1 I think you have enough of a backlog to play through for now.

Reasons someone blacklisted me or reasons I blacklisted someone? Can't think of anything really horrible for both cases somehow.

Just to add to the discussion, out of the nearly 50 GAs I've done in the past two months, I'd say roughly 15 people have thanked me. Even those who I have added on Steam to send as a gift, with a nice message attached - no thanks. I guess my BL would be long as hell if I BL people for that reason. ఠ___ఠ

I once blacklisted a user at one time for spam crap-posting "something vs other-thing" threads. Actually, I think I blacklisted multiple users at the time.

For some reason, a bunch of people thought it was funny to just spam the forum with these "vs" threads as some kind of a joke. Needless to say, I did not find it funny.

But in all honesty, I guess I was a little harsh. However, I did tag the users so that I would remember why I blacklisted. That way, I'll eventually remove them from the blacklist. :P

I haven't run into any giveaways that I have been blacklisted from but a few members have made it clear that they are doing it to people who have received more than they have given. Health issues put a dent in my wallet and I wasn't able to make as much giveaways as I used to. It's their loss if they have blacklisted me as things have been improving lately and I have been able to do a few giveaways again.
I blacklist rude people, people who make racist or homophobic comments, and regifters.
