Apparently, I have been added to 10 blacklists over the past year, each around the time I have won a giveaway.

Is this a custom where you blacklist someone who won so they don't have a chance to win from you again? Or is there some sort of edicate im not following? I tell the person giving away how much I appreciate their giveaway if they add me on steam o a thank you on the giveaway itself.

Im not upset or anything, just wondering if I have been doing something wrong and looking like a jerk to people. I have made some giveaways but never got a thank you or anything, and never added anyone to a blacklist, I don't mind.

EDIT: I got a ton of blacklists now, lol. I don't really care, I just wanted to know if I wasn't aware of some edicate and I was looking like a jerk to people.

Glad to know it's not that, and just people blacklisting for whatever reason they do it for, which they are free to do. I thank all of you people giving away games to strangers regardless, even if you blacklist me . :)

Also I don't have any inactivated games on my account. DETOUR key was from a bundle or was a wrong key because I had activated it when I won it and it was not a game called Detour.

People will blacklist you for random reasons. Some might even blacklist you since you posted this thread about blacklists.
Don't mind it, move on! Tons of giveaways you can still enter.

My advice is: the faster you'll close this thread the less new blacklists you will get.

Just watch'em riiiiiiise, yay!

Sometimes it's exactly that. Others may have blacklisted you because they didn't like your sent/won ratio. Or maybe because of that game you didn't activate. Or just because they had a shitty day ... Don't worry about it too much.

Only 10? Man, you're good, then.
I collected 20 within the last 2 days alone.
I like to shitpost, though. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm certain you were blacklisted because of your ratio. I didn't blacklist you, but I know loads of members do. Close the thread, as suggested. If there's ratio watchers who missed you before, you'll be spotted now.

You account shows a non activation (Detour) for a developer giveaway that seemingly handed out keys for wrong games. In case you did not receive a key for Detour, you should mark "not received".
This might be a reason to be on a few blacklists.

did you say thank you to the giveaway creators you won from? thats a pretty surefire way to get blacklisted, or by posting about blacklists

10 blacklists !

careful, one day you will check the public giveaway page and there wont be anything for you to enter

I tell the person giving away how much I appreciate their giveaway if they add me on steam o a thank you on the giveaway itself.

I dont want to point fingers but i checked the first few giveaways and i didnt see any comments.
some people will blacklist you for that, its not a big deal

Really,you shouldn't give a shit about blacklists,they don't matter,if somebody was petty enough to blacklist you for something you said on a forum,you shouldn't give them the timeof day anyways.
