Over the weekend I jumped from being on single blacklist to 30! Dont get me wrong, Im not complaing, I just want know If I did something wrong. Did I break some unwritten (or written) rule?

All I can think of is create some low-value giveaways and install "ESGST" extension.

The "join giveaway" button was secretly replaced by a "join blacklist" function as a late april fools prank.

It's almost certainly because of those Professor Watts "games" you gave away. Those are the worst type of "games" on Steam at the moment, and you gave away a bunch of them. So a few people blacklisted you because those games make them angry, and a few people blacklisted you because it's easier than hiding all of the games, and a few people blacklisted you for both reasons.

EDIT because I forgot to point out something:

Blacklist =/= hate

Just because someone blacklists you does not mean that they hate you as a person, it just means they don't want to give away their games to you.

I think the idea that blacklisting = hating is what causes some people to be so emotional about blacklists, but it's really not that big of a deal.

there're 25 pages with this game in archive, so people will blacklist all those giveaway creators?
That's just stupid, its easier to hide a game u don't like xD

Some people probably blacklist anyone who gives away those "automatic achievement" games, yeah. Those games tend to cause very strong emotions!

And technically, it's actually easier to blacklist one giveaway creator (one click) than to hide every game (multiple clicks)!

People will blacklist you for whatever reason... Or maybe you just upset people...People like to hate everyone for "x" reasons here..but is harder to get in people whitelists... :D. Just don't think about it.

I've got few blacklists for creating giveaways with positive ratio required

Yea, about 3/4 of all the blacklists I'm on seem to have been from threads I made where the giveaway required passing an sgtools check. Some SG users just really hate that they're not allowed to enter some giveaways.

The funny thing is that those users are usually giving away much themselves, so they're just hurting themselves by missing out on your other public giveaways.

A Steamgifts Poem

(inspired by recent events)


The internet is a wonderful, and shallow place,
"look at me, im funny" says the internet race.

Sometimes it's nice to see a bread headed cat,
copious amounts of chips and pop, omg i'm too fat.

A place where communities gather and laugh,
"It's a potato you idiot! Not a giraffe!"

Confusion and disaster constantly erupt,
It's that darn Donald Trump, he's so stupidly corrupt.

Steamgifts is fun, but also confusing,
People will blacklist for not being amusing.

They also blacklist for giving away trash,
and then come back to kick you in the ash.

But sometimes they're nice, and give you some cake,
and then we realize that we're all really fake.

(the structure isn't up to my normal standards but it was off the cuff)

A wise man once said,

nothing can be said to be certain, except death and blacklists

At least that's how I think it went. Anyway, yeah we've all got them; no point trying to make sense of them, you'll just drive yourself crazy :)

This was created about 2 years ago and gives most of the reasons for being blacklisted.
