Should blacklisted users be able to win giveaways if they were blacklisted after entering?
from my part I dont have much opinion other than that people may wanna stop this whole blacklist drama circlejerk circus at some point because this has gotten into ridiculous levels. Like Jesus Christ, you cant post something they disagree with without getting instantly blacklisted.
like if you wanna make your own rules? fine, do that. Just dont come here whining when some people disregard it

So I simplified the giveaway text and is seems to work well. I also further refined it by letting users defend themselves before being blacklisted:

Some of them actually do.
I wonder if anyone would still complain that what I'm doing is not fair or rude?
Also, there's a hidden giveaway here, but better read the text ;-)

From the FAQ:
Unless it's a technical limitation, I think it should work immediately, in effect kicking blacklisted users out of current giveaways.
Your thoughts on this?
Edit: Some of the discussion below is about phrasing of my giveaway descriptions/requests, so let's see how alternative & simplified text works. Here are a couple of giveaways to test things out:
"Please DO NOT post 'Thanks' (unless you are the winner)."

"Please DO NOT post any comment unless you are the winner or have something interesting to say."
