Question about Blacklisted people!

no, blacklisting works both ways

it won't block posts, but i've seen a browser add-on for this

If someone blacklist you they also can't enter your GAs. Also there is nothing wrong in wanting an older version of a game if you don't have it.

blacklists everywhere

I made my choice and took the red pill and I'd feel foolish not blacklisting rotten apples.

This question is on FAQ. It works both ways.

As others said, blacklists are bi-directionnal, so someone blacklisting you cannot enter your GAs.
Blacklisting someone in SG simply means no GAs between the two people. It's just a matter of personal choice, nobody loses anything he's entitled to (as nobody is entitled to have access to any GA made by another person).

Btw it's called "giveaway".

It's an old feature by now: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/uWdUq/two-way-blacklists

I blacklisted 3 people as of now. Mainly cause of their behavior & comments. Blacklist works both ways. Though I kinda was hoping like block to not see their comments or posts. Blacklist doesn't matter. It can even happen by mistake. Sometimes the no. of times one getting blacklist will drop cause of it.
But I definitely will say whitelist is much more important cause of whitelist giveaway. You might sometimes see post sbout whitelist recruitment just for doing giveaways.

Well thanks everyone for the info and feedback. Ya, I was to lazy to look at the FAQ and thought it might be cool to talk about.

So far I have upset 21 people. A few I am sure are players I threatened to report for posting GOG and Origin game. I still did not blacklist them. I get why they did it. Still rules are rules and some players don't know and would have been upset to get an Origin Key for there steam account. :D

Still, there is that part of me that really wish to know what I did to warrant the blacklisting. This is the only time I know for a fact why and it's just plain petty. ;P

Still, oh well. They wouldn't need anything from my giveaways anyway. They are a lv 10 and probably have all the game. ;P

I only blacklist when I accidentally click the blacklist button when I wanted to search. When some advertisement pops the button down to where the search bar was and woops, blacklisted. Then I've got to remove them from blacklist. Don't know if that increases blacklist stats for members.

I was blacklisted once for not responding for 3 days to a giveaway I'd won. That's about how often I check my inbox and I hadn't been on the site either, for working long hours.

There's another blacklist I'm on for, I guess, I don't know for sure, having too many games in my account? (I'm a compulsive collector shrug) At least I'm selective about the giveaways I enter though - don't have much choice when one owns lots of stuff, I guess.

I don't really scramble to be on a bunch of whitelists either - but I don't turn them down and do my best to reciprocate when I discover someone has whitelisted me.

You won't be shooting yourself in the foot. You would be preventing yourself from accidentally entering GAs created by people you don't like for some reason - because why would you ever want to win anything from them?

Lol, I've seen that giveaway.
The style they told you the difference between versions was uncalled for.

If you get blacklisted in Steamgifts you get blacklisted in real life.

If I notice someone has me blacklisted I'll do so back just to do so, but typically I only blacklist people if I feel like they were being a jerk.

That said, I don't scan the comments too often lately (other than for my GA related stuff), so most the people on my blacklist (whom aren't there because they blacklisted moi) are from years ago and I don't recall why. >.>

If someone blacklists you, they can't enter your giveaways (as was already said a bazillion times ^^).
But, in the past, if they saw a very good game you gave away, they could just un-blacklist you, enter your giveaway, wait until the giveaway is over and afterwards blacklist you again.
This is why - in the past - it was better to also blacklist your blacklisters.
Nowadays, when someone removes you from their blacklist, they can't enter your giveaways for a grace period, which lasts for seven days, I think.

I haven't for years. Actually can we see the people we have blacklisted ? I can't find the list.
