All that time you spent blacklisting people...Wasted ! :(

I have 132 residents on my blacklist, some of them may or may not been banned from the site
i dont have as many mostly because i don't search for people to blacklist, these just came to me or exposed themselves on the forum

well, i will just stay with my blacklist.
i don't care for bots/leechers/price-glitch users/advertisers, but when someone does racist comments or other discriminating stuff, if someone insults me or others in a way i can't tolerate or if someone is against the rules of this site, then i use the BL feature.
simply as that.

oh, and there are only 23 people resting there.

0

to each its own, if you are happy with 0 blacklists, good for you.

i'll keep blacklisting unwanted people and applying revenge as usual :3

I blacklist rule breakers usually, I have only 7 for now.

I want to give nice games to people who deserve it. To me ratio is not that important (though sometimes I want to do GAs to people who give more than they take. It's nice to feel rewarded for what you do), so I'll not blacklist because of it. But racists, and people who don't show respect to the person giving them something nice, I don't want to give something to them.
Sadly my recent experience was a bit disheartening. About 10% of the entries in my two GAs were leaked entries. I think I'll mostly do group/WL GAs for a while. My blacklist grew quite a bit due to the MK X GA :(

That's very zen of you! Budda smiles somewhere

I had one, but then I thought eh, what the fuck, I really don't care about it. Had one guy on it before that, but now he is permabanned, so no reason to have a blacklist at all.
Also, as a side note: as long as CV is a thing here, I cannot blame people trying to cash in on price glitches. Especially since those are added to the bundle list eventually, so they don't even get any advantage. Remember the WinGameStore Book of Unwritten Tales glitch a few months back? All it resulted in was a lot of people getting that awesome series. (And, well, that store losing a few thousand dollars in profits. Assuming they didn't just shovel the losses straight back to the developer.)

I only have 70 on my blacklist.

I could maybe reduce it but racist and anti-Semitic users, too sour, too entitled, those that belittle new users, those that think they are better than the rest well those totally worthless and unwanted users will remain on it.

Rule-breakers, leechers, and mega-dlcks rejoice! :D

That's awesome, everyone should use their blacklists as they see fit. Which is how it's meant to be. I also don't do the level 0 ones any more, and that keeps the blacklist shorter.

Blacklist is a good thing to play with. I love it!

I have 12, 3 recently.

I only blacklist for rules violations. I have fewer blacklist members now than whitelist members, but I used to have much more of both categories (trimmed my whitelist and blanked my blacklist over the last couple of months, but people are gradually coming back).

I have 15, which is a lot more than I like.

So much racism on sg apparently. Good thing it's never shown itself to me.

I currently have 20 on it. All of them are there for good reasons (well, good reasons to me). I don't look to blacklist people, but if they are rude or they think that their opinion is fact, that kind of thing, I usually end up blacklisting people. But I do sometimes check it, and if people have been on there for months and I can't remember why, I just remove them from it.

350? I don't even have 50 yet I saw 4 accounts that I marked (BL) to troll here later. xD

I only blacklisted one person so far. The reason is he marked the gift as not received after he won it like 3 months and I just noticed it.
In my opinion blacklist thing is personal preference, someone don't want some to win. The only reason I would blacklist anyone is that he will cause more trouble than necessary if I don't.

159 users on my blacklist. Every time I think about my blacklist, I'm never sure whether I'm overreacting to everything and being a jackass, or I'm just very active on the forum and tend to catch the "bad ones" in the act. :(

Either way, I wouldn't clear my blacklist. Some users are just too horrible, mean, disrespectful and rude to deserve being part of this community. Since apparently being rude and sometimes even racist to other isn't a perma-ban on Steamgifts (don't quote me on that though), the blacklist comes in handy. I don't giveaway many or valuable games, so it doesn't have such a great impact. Still, I'd rather make sure that some of the users here on Steamgifts be, er, "excluded" from my giveaways.

On the other hand, I now label whoever I blacklist with a reason (SG++ fuck yeah), but unfortunately I lost most of the labels when my hard drive died, plus I have some really old blacklists (from SGv1) which I have no idea why they are blacklisted. Basically - I'm not going to bother. :P

I still remove people from my blacklist from time to time, when I'm in the mood.

Blacklisting is NOT pointless. I choose not to give my money (games = money basically) to leechers, re-gifters and basically people who have no respect for rules.

My blacklist grew recently due to the Apollo4X re-gifters. It was my first time here seeing something like that happen and I feel like I've been somewhat jaded by it, having the urge to use SG Tools for GAs now and keep any public GAs at level 4+. But I know there are good people at the low levels and I don't care (much) about leechers. I'm just too softhearted to be exclusionary for too long. Anyone who deleted their re-gift GA was remove unless they had other remaining violations and I have every intention of reviewing my black list in a few months to see if people have improved or not.

For me it's more that I want my giveaways to go to people deserving of a game. People who are jerks or regifters and such shouldn't win anything from me. That said I only have 43 on my Blacklist...
Then again i guarantee none of them are above level 1 and most of my giveaways are whitelist or level 2 and up so i guess it doesn't effect anything for me to blacklist :)

I never had a blacklist ;X
