Want to get off some blacklists? (Or want to clean out your blacklist?)

Interesting stats:
Jan 22 2016 on 35 blacklists
Mar 30 2016 on 71!
15 alone from March 17-30
I must be doing something right?

I had one person on a blacklist, because he consciously gave away a game that had just became free. A while later I checked his stats and he gave away other non-free games while not really winning any in return.
So I took him off again.

I'm on three blacklists. I don't know why, but it might be because I don't comment a lot and have only gotten into the whole giveaway thing a few months ago. I don't have any wins not marked as received and all my givaways (which are bigger than my wins) have been marked as received as well, so that can't be the reason.

But hey, you can't control what other people think or what they do. It's better to focus on the things that get you whitelisted than to focus on a few blacklists you may get.

In before new SGtools rule "does not have me blacklisted"...

I don't understand why so many people cares about blackisters. In my opinion, those guys need to see a shrink. So it's better let them go!

I honestly don't know what I've done to get on peoples' blacklists. I HAVE failed to give a game or two because of a mix-up in keys and that's totally my fault but I'd like to think that I'm otherwise a good person or don't come off as a troll or anything. I mean, the word "blacklist" is such a dirty word, it's like saying "You're a piece of shit, begone from my presence". Like, dude, I'm sorry T_T

I like symmetry on both lists but it can also work in reverse! ^ ^

View attached image.

I went on holiday without a computer. Marked received for the won games (without actually activating them) via mobile. Much blacklisting did occur.

I honestly don't care if I'm on a blacklist(excluding the reason that I just simply don't care) because for me it really boils down to what I say in certain threads, which is basically "I don't like you." simply for how someone thinks and it baffles my mind, especially since I forget about every argument I have at least a day later. I have 2 people on my blacklist. One of them is Konrad for being too awesome and the other was a confirmed scammer or the like.

Anyways, blacklist is just a prettied up block button. It's like the difference between "hate" and "loathe".

EDIT: Obviously I'm just assuming why I may be on some blacklists, because I am most certainly not a scammer and I have given away more than I have won, both in real CV and number of giveaways.

EDIT2: Also, anyone can blacklist anyone for any reason, so there's no real reason to fret about it. You don't write essays whenever you comment! Blacklisted!

EDIT3: And to update this comment to include my WL:BL, it's 34 BL, 30 WL. I mean, thanks for whitelisting and thanks for blacklisting...?

I'm on 3 BLs it seems. No surprise, don't know why. I rarely post on the forums. If I had to hazard a guess, it's because I typed out generic thanks comments on giveaways that didn't warn about that.

But I'm on 34 WLs somehow, so yay.

MrAwesomeFalcon, I have you blacklisted and you should probably know why because I commented on one of the offending giveaways when I did. I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to get into detail about it since it was a rules issue. But you seemed extremely sure of yourself at the time, even with multiple people telling you that you were doing something wrong, so I'm not really sure if I'm open to removing you.

22 people have me blacklisted. I know at least 2 of those are counter-BLs, which is predictable and totally understandable. I'm curious about what else I might have done to get on someone's nerves, though.

I make a note of why I have everyone blacklisted so if you want to know you can ask me here, I guess.

For me, I will blacklist for the common sensible reasons: sharing GA URL to bypass sgtools, regifting, trade scamming, known to be a bad person in SG, etc. I do not blacklist for difference of opinions, offensive images, and anything that is opinionated. I don't care if I made 10 giveaways and someone wins most or all of them; I don't blacklist winners because RNG decides the probability. However, if someone blacklists me and I don't find out until I try to enter the said person's giveaway(s) then I believe blacklisting the same person is fair and equal.

Also, anyone on my blacklist stays on it permanently *. I am very lenient on what makes me want to blacklist and challenging my easy going mood is the worst mistake to perform.

*I might unblacklist someone, but that someone must overachieve and do it publicly.

I am confused..... you're here one month with 2 GA's and 1 win AND you're discussing BL's already? Sigh..... go ahead and BL me for commenting but I don't see what basis you have for creating this thread. No really, explain it to me. I am completely serious.

what if you dont have money to make giveaways like me :P i need money to buy somestuff for last school year hjgauaoughjoauj

Sorry i dont speak good London.

just kidding hahaha :D

I'm on 86 blacklists... It's ok, I just wonder how many times for what I say in the forums and how many for my ratio/ignoring rules in GAs.

Quote: "I'll find someone who deserves to be on mine (usually if you have more than 2 wins, fewer than 100 comments, and/or no games given)."
Quote: "This is just my personal opinion, but I feel that you should only BL people who break site rules or are total dicks"

You're contradicting yourself since having fewer than 100 comments or not having given away a game is not against the rules.

Wow, apparently I'm on 7 blacklists, had only been aware of 1 until a couple of days ago when I discovered another. Those two I think might have been because I didn't say thank you when I won a ga from them which I would like to apologize for, or possibly to give other people more of a chance? I'm gonna go with more likely the first reason. However since then I always thank the ga creator when I win a game so the other blacklist the only reason I can think of is giving other people more of a chance but I'm on speculating here. Ideally I would like to be completely clean and be on no-ones blacklist but I guess it's unlikely for anyone to manage that haha but it's not the end of the world.

Edit: Out of curiosity I just compared won giveaways with the dates I was blacklisted and was only able to find the 1, so the other 6 I guess maybe I said something someone didn't like? Who knows, I've never said anything that could be considered offensive as far as I know, if I have I do apologize. I guess this just happens and I'll probably never know but oh well, life goes on, no point complaining. Ultimately I'd prefer to not be blacklisted but it's alright, I'm more just curious as to what it could be.

How do you check blacklists? :P

The sooner people realize that they cannot be on good terms with everyone in the world and that some people may like them while others may not, the sooner they will stop worrying and obsessing over "lists" and stop trying to fix things that dont matter at all. This is not directed to anyone in particular but it is for everyone to consider.
