Why people hate me? Or better question what I did wrong?

Did I break some unwritten (or written) rule?

Why people hate me?

if u install ESGT, there's an option to hide blacklist stats

Im just curious, I have account for a month yet I entered all these BL on a single day. Maybe it is somehow cached on SG side and update only once per while?

You don't have to do something wrong to be blacklisted, although making a comment that everyone disagrees with or asking why you are blacklisted a lot is one sure way to get blacklisted a lot.

It's also very quick and easy to blacklist someone that gives away a lot of low-value trash games, and it can remove a significant amount of junk from the front page in one quick move. I hide all games individually instead but I can certainly see the temptation to just blacklist some people who give away a lot of trash at the same time. But there are also people who want that trash since all they care about is a +1 on their steam account, so don't let that discourage you. There is no way you can please everyone, so some blacklists are inevitable.

I got a blacklist recently for a posting in a thread a gif of Bobby Hill eating popcorn, made me lol. I think they are inevitable unless you give a ton of AAA games and never comment anything but "thank you", even then you might get some. That's a lot of blacklists for five comments though, at least four of them were completely sweet and innocent I couldn't find the fifth :P

Just ignore the blacklists, all it means is some stuck up people can't enter your giveaways. Like Mihey said, install ESGT if they bother you and it's basically like they never happened. All that really matter are your whitelists that let you enter giveaways with better odds

they don't lke your giveaways 🎁💔😢

I'm curious at how many blacklists will you get by making this thread.
From what I remember, everyone who did a thread like this usually got a ton of blacklists.

Having a fast look at your profile, it may be that they don't like the many games you give away, so, instead of using some ESGST filters to hide them (maybe they don't want to use this tool), they simply blacklist you and get rid of your giveaways. Maybe they're all blacklisting you now because they saw many giveaways from you at the same time. But I'm just guessing.
In my earliest days here I started giving away a couple of valueless shovelware, and I gained some blacklists...

That's just how things work here, you post a few threads, you share few opinions, and you get loads of blacklists.
a wise person told me here that you shouldn't care about blacklists at all of if you do, you should just stop posting in these forums
I bet you are going to get few more blacklists after this thread :))

You got blacklisted because some people are very silly. They imagine that the solution to not seeing lowest level trashiest giveaways is blacklisting everyone until it stops. Sane people would just not look at those giveaways to start with saving all the hassle, but I guess then they couldn't feel morally superior on forums or something.

Meanwhile mine are: Whitelists (29) and Blacklists (9)

Probably the most annoying is you can't see who whitelisted/blacklisted you though, so you could do the karma on them. 🙁 Also apparently someone blacklisted me just yesterday. 🤣

you'll get blacklist for almost ANYTHING
after winning
posting (even normal post)
he hates you
etc

i think the only way NOT getting bl is NOT posting anything... maybe
but with million of user(i think) vs 30 blacklist, it's not even 1% lol

I'd guess it's related to Professor Watts GAs. Rather than hiding every single of the 20+ games people might find it convenient to directly blacklist a person doing them vOv

You are here for a month and already created so many giveaways. Have a blue whitelist heart in return 💙

Blacklisting is one of a clicking button activity in SG
Ppl could blacklist you for any reason you can't imagine

The people who do that for anything other than some serious rulebreaking or something exceptional, are just silly people who get offended at everything. Don't let them get your attention. They think that they're this crazy valuable asset who are totally sticking it to you by prohibiting you from entering in their giveaways.

Basically it tends to be a combination of a bloated ego and a ridiculously thin skin.

Again, it can also be for legitimate rule breaking. But even then, the support will punish them. Personally, I have 0 people blacklisted. No reason to do it imo.

Honestly, I don't get why there's so much drama about blacklists.

Blacklist is a mechanism created to filter out some users' giveaways from another user's view. It should not be considered or used as blocking, banning or expression of hate. Problem is, a few users take advantage of this mechanism to create feuds with random people, groups of people, certain minorities and disadvantaged people, in order to promote their agenda. Or they're just projecting, thus believing that clumsily blocking away everyone else with the same problem, they'll eliminate their problem. I guess their plan is backfiring but they keep on trying.. 😛

TL;DR

Don't sweat the small stuff. ✌

It's your giveaways, bro. Some people get all bent seeing GoGo Bundle giveaways and the like, so they blacklist the creator rather than the game.

No biggie, so don't sweat it. Just keep on keeping on.

I got blacklisted for some nonsensical reason so it's alright :)

This is pretty normal

"that user has a dumb nickname"
"that user has an anime profile pic"
"that user's profile pic looks like it's hentai, i don't like that"
"i don't like what they just said"
"i don't like their ratio"
"the games they gave look cheap"
"registered x time ago and already x wins ? i don't like that"
"they make threads... such an attention whore"
"they spoke nicely with that user i don't like and i don't like that"
"i tried to whitelist but misclicked"
"my addon did it"
"someone told me to"
"they post too much"
"they make stupid polls with dumb options to look sassy/quirky"
"they entered too many giveaways for the few they make"
"i played with them and don't like them so now i blacklist them on sg"
'they enter so many giveaways, i'm sure they use a bot"
"they didn't bump thread after entering on-invite giveaway"
"wanted to try the block feature"
"they didn't even answer me"
"1 hour long giveaway ? what a cheap leecher"
"they have 2000 hours on dota 2, what a stupid nerd"
"actually intended to blacklist someone else"

Stop crying get used to it and move on

You've broken somebody's unwritten rules (expectations) but other equally passive-aggressive users have conflicting expectations, so it is inevitable that you will be added to some lists. Blacklisting is usually a sulky attempt to indignantly validate a particular expectation without bothering to express it, like being upset that you're walking too fast or too slow without asking you to slow down or speed up. You'll be suspended if you genuinely do something wrong, but that would mean breaking written rules, not unwritten ones. Just ignore blacklist stats - they say more about the list makers than the people on the list, and you will rarely find giveaways that are unavailable to you as a result.

Once I got a BL because I told a female user she is pretty.

This is mine

So I know I did some bad stuff, I remember one of my friends telling me to post something on the forums and I got blacklisted by a lot of people. I also did some other bad stuff. Too bad most of them don't forgive you and let their blacklist stay.

I also barely comment anymore just because I don't want to get blacklisted anymore. Sure blacklists don't really matter that much but it still feels bad. Then again there will probably be someone that blacklists me for this comment.

I dont hate u, people are just stupid :c
