First time I ever had this happen before.

Browsed past a random giveaway posted by an old friend on my steam list. We never had a falling out or anything or left on bad terms. I just stopped logging on steam for a while and then noticed they were off the friends list one day.

Clicked on it just out of curiosity and thinking about entering it only to find out I was on their blacklist. No clue why, I could understand not being on a white list, but no clue about a black list. Don't anger me so much as it confuses me as to why.

Anyone else ever had that on here? And did you ever find out as to why?

Surely you didn't consider it might be your gift to win ratio or the non activated win for The Hat Man: Shadow Ward?

I know my win to gift ratio is low. Broke as crap right now fighting the VA and real life issues, they knew that too. Still better than those people with no gifts given. Main games I have given I actually got from the Tremor website along with the majority of games on my steam account now.

And my non-activated win is over a region restricted game I got that I couldn't activate and just regifted without realizing it was against the rule. Also had another region restricted win but I managed to get that taken care since I knew the rule at the time.

And like I said, I had no issues with not being on a white list, just wondering about the blacklist.

it's not your ratio, you have an unactivated win. some people instantly blacklist people because of that.

Not saying its a good reason or not, i dont even care about what happened, but after realizing it was against the rules i think the right thing would be to buy and activate that game, which by the way is incredibly cheap

If I check my profile it puts all my wins in red (non activated I guess ? http://www.sgcv.tk/nonactivated/arkelia/arkelia), but I activated them and even played 3 of them (didn't have time to play the last one I won yet).
So if people black list users upon this site... I guess I'm on a lot of black list. :|

Try with your Steam ID number and it is fine:

Mine does exactly the same if I use vanity name, shows all games as not activated, but with number, it works ok.

Oh nice to know, thanks !
Anyway I think this blacklist thing is a bit silly.

I won't blacklist someone because he said thanks or not or he doesn't like cats or whatever. I don't care if the guy that wins is an jerk.
Because there is a small chance he isn't and will enjoy the game I gave away instead of seeing it rotting in my steam inventory, and that is enough for me.

Jeez.... People should learn to relax a bit !

How can you tell if someone has a non activated win? O_O

Also, if it was for ratio the guy's a tool. I personally don't blacklist because of ratio...I whitelist because of good ratio. Not everyone can go around and give out games..and if someone can't get that in their skull then I kinda pity them.

If I see I've been blacklisted I try to inquire why. Once it was for poor ratio, but I fixed my ratio so that was reversed. once me and some other user both had each other blacklisted and we couldn't remember why so we unblacklisted each other and went on our way. Once I didn't get a response so I guess I'll never know.

My blacklist has 15 entries. Three are regifters I got multiple confirmations of. Rest are people who blacklisted me, and I have no idea why. So I just blacklisted them back. It's called symmetry.

Sometimes the creator of giveaway simply check if you won too much without giveback.
The function of blacklist in this site is prevent from your entry.

Who knows? Some users blacklist you for breaking rules; some blacklist just for thinking you've broken rules, some blacklist you because they think your ratio/profile/giveaways/avatar/name isn't good enough or not to their liking and in the end people can and will blacklist you for just about any reason they can think up.

When you try to take part in giveaway and it's says you have been blacklisted, just blacklist back. Some call it symmetry others call it tit for tat.
I call it returning the favor.

I noticed once a blacklist from a guy I've never talked to. I guess he has his reasons so, who cares? I blacklisted him back and moved on.

I still belief that blacklist should be both ways, if I blacklist someone I don't want to enter one of his/her giveaways by mistake. Blocking him/her from my giveaways and entering theirs feels really wrong to me. Blacklisting should be a double-edge sword.

The whole blacklist / whitelist thing is pretty ridiculius .

Ppl blacklist you for having different opinion then them , for disliking your avatar picture ... low win ratio ... breaking the rules ( In their opinion ) ...
You know most random things ever , just BL them back and move on with it .

Actually bothering to ask why did they BL you will be only waste of time ( in most cases ) , and feeding the forum trolls potential source of new drama .

While I hate that crap, I can honestly say that wouldn't be the reason for a blacklist. It takes breaking some rule to get on my list. Even if it was a rule in certain private giveaways.

If it was something else , well i have no clue what it was .
Guess it was not something major if i dont remember it ....

Actually, I might remember the reason, though I could also be thinking of someone else with this (as admitted earlier, I'm forgetful, and since I couldn't mark reasons for most of my blacklist members, its hard to find out the reason for each).

I know someone I was in an argument with had followed me to another site I use, and finding a private giveaway I posted there for those users decided to post it here against my wishes.

Been blacklisted by one person that I know of, altho I haven't a clue as too why as I've never spoke to them or even seen them before.

I don't even bother to ask why. If they blacklisted me they sure have a good reason (whether it's a good reason for me too or not is a whole different issue).
It's probably because of my ratio or because of me being asshole towards someone, does it really matter? What matters is you following the rules of the site and not being a total jerk. :)

Ratio or attitude is the stupidest reason for blacklisting IMHO....I think you and I even had some words back and fourth at least once...(Cause, you were kind of an ass...though to be fair..So was I), and I didn't blacklist you...Same with Ratio, why blacklist cause someone doesn't give as much as you? Whitelist them if they do as a reward, but don't punish someone for what might be for reasons beyond a persons control.

I strongly agree on this matter with you.However, if you are a total asshole towards everyone (and I of course am not talking about you personally) I'll probably blacklist you. Like there was a total jerk who was calling names the giveaways creators of the giveaways he won (I was kinda happy to see him getting permabanned). But other than these uncommon cases there is no reason, in my opinion, to blacklist someone for having a bad attitude towards someone once in a while.

As for me being a total ass towards you or anyone else, I'd like to apologize if something like that happened (I really can't remember ^.^ ).
However, it's not that difficult to happen. We are on the internet, we many times misunderstand what someone says and the way he says that. Furthermore, the opinions many times differ and as long as that happens there will be misunderstandings and fights. :)

It depends on your definition of rude...If someone is just being rude toward me, or disagreeing or argumentative...No, I think it's stupid and actually childish to blacklist someone because they don't agree with you...or even if they don't seemingly like you. However, if it's someone like the person shown in Murks screenshots? Oh hell yea! Blacklist them...They are vulgar, disrespectful to everyone, demanding and shouldn't even be on the site.

I've been blacklisted at least once, possibly more. The way I found out was after winning I went back to the giveaway thread to thank the giver and was greeted with the blacklist message.
