So I noticed I was able to join Shadows of Mordor GOTY, which I own. I didn't join but I posted I own but I could join.. check the winner..

Then a person answered :

Has a bug going on. Whoever has the game is allowed to enter. It's already the third game today that happens. I think you'd better get out of the lottery.

Now the creator of the giveaway blacklisted me. WTF?

at the same time there's really no point in informing about this - it's not a bug (at least not on SG side, it's because of Steam API not reporting DLCs so SG cannot know what DLC you own or not), because of that it's not the case of Shadows of Mordor GOTY but rather the case of ANY DLC or PACK containing DLCs or version that contains DLCs. So basically thousands of various stuff from Steam.

I'm not saying GA creator wasn't wrong BLing you (thou anyone can BL for any reason), but you were kinda wrong as well ;p

that's why I say GA creator was kinda wrong (still he can BL for any reason - maybe he didn't like OP not having 1:! numerical ratio for example), but OP is kinda wrong as well, as posting something that is not at any way bug on SG side and what applies to thousands of giftable titles is pretty pointless. OP was wrong in the meaning that it was something special that he could join this Ga - it's not special, it's like that for almost every GA including DLCs there is (excluding rare cases where DLCs are separate library titles)

While I personally don't find it worthwhile to mention such elements except for games which have especially unusual quirks, other than to users I know firsthand are unfamiliar with how things work, SG society on the whole acts differently- it generally offers the impression that making such remarks is a courtesy to be appreciated.

And, my personal inclinations aside, I can't argue that fact- functionally, unless the GA creator tells you not to leave any comments, it's an entirely constructive and appreciable action to take.

So really, I'm not sure where you're getting that it was "wrong" from- it matches localized societal expectations, logical expectations, and ethical/moral expectations.
Everyone has their personal preferences, and those may run against whatever is "normal"- and that's something we, as humans, have the ability to communicate very easily upfront. Generally, anyone who doesn't take the time to note when their expectations run counter-norm is going to be the one to fault for any miscommunication. Past that, SG offers blacklisting as a function to avoid future unfavorable interactions, where communication is no longer reasonably manageable.

So, again- I'm not seeing how either participant was "wrong", even if the reported actions of the GA creator are pretty unfathomable as described.

Sure, and the sky is blue. You know, because it reflects the blue ocean.

The sky- you know, as opposed to the atmosphere- is blue. The sky is the visible part of the atmosphere (typically from the reference point of someone on a planet's surface viewing upward), and thus whatever color it seems to be, it is- though that isn't the case for the atmosphere itself, as that's composed of component gasses which, presumably, are primarily inherently colorless.
Similarly, the color of anything is always based in refraction and absorption, so picking apart at that is just a matter of nuance- that the atmosphere, as an entire body, gets its color from light refraction is not notably different from solid objects which behave the same way- or from how water gets its color, as that also seems blue due to refraction and absorption.

"The ocean looks blue because red, orange and yellow (long wavelength light) are absorbed more strongly by water than is blue (short wavelength light). So when white light from the sun enters the ocean, it is mostly the blue that gets returned. This is the same reason the sky is blue."

Likewise, a different optical configuration may perceive the color in an entirely different way, thus making the whole matter of color a subjective one- in other words, color is as it is commonly perceived to be (due to what bands of light are absorbed versus refracted, contrasted against the optical complexity and variation of the viewer), not off of some sort of solid-form absolute. From the perspective of humanity as a whole, the sky is blue.

Finally, your initial premise is faulty- the sky isn't, in fact, blue. Rather, it is blue, black, red, orange, purple and yellow- and perhaps more- and varying shades and mixtures thereof.

Now, with all that said-
What in the everloving pie does your comment even have to do with anything in this thread?

True statement with a bad arguement to support it won't make true, no matter how long do you take it apart. The statement of sky being blue BECAUSE of reflecting water is just as incorrect and false as SG not showing owned DLCs BECAUSE it's a bug.

You overemphasized the sarcasm, and the intent got lost. That makes sense as a metaphor, now that you've added clarification.

That topic has absolutely no relation to my post, or to what I was replying to.

First of all - I mentioned that GA creator was kinda wrong (kinda because still - you can BL for any reason you want. Maybe BL was because of the comment, maybe GA creator BLs anyone below 1:1 ratio, both possible, both entirely fine - i could BL you because I don't like Skeletor and it's my right to do so ;p), but what I meant by OP being wrtong is that he made it sound like it was some kind of bug (on SG side) and like it was something out of ordinary - and he's wrong in both cases, it's not SG bug and it's very common thing that applies to basically almost every GA for anything that contqains any kind of DLC.

I said he made it sound like it was some kind of bug not that he said it was a bug ;p If I come to your GA and say "It seems there is a bug, I can enter it even if I own this DLC" and "I can enter even if I own this DLC" - in the second example I am not mentioning a bug per se but I am basically saying the same thing ;) The point is that there is nothing strange in being able to do this, because of how Steam API works, not because of how SG works.

But it's late already - so long story short - it's not case of Shadow of Mordor, it's case of Steam API. And I'm not defending GA creator - I personally believe it was unjust to BL OP, but anyone has right to BL anyone for whatever reason. I wouldn't BL OP, someone else may, both are fine becasue there are no rules about what you cannot BL about.

I own but I could join.. check the winner..

but what I meant by OP being wrtong is that he made it sound like it was some kind of bug

I'm not going to argue that the phrasing could be much clearer and descriptive [personally, I don't see the point of bothering to take the time to comment something that without explaining the why of it- but hey, you've seen me ramble, I'm sure :P], but it is to the normal structure that phrasing has across the site. So if he did make it sound that way [to the GA creator], then most everyone else on the site that has ever bothered to comment on the topic has come across similarly. In which case, the GA creator may have quite a bit of blacklisting ahead of them-
but again, not sure how anyone could be "wrong". They may have miscommunicated, but "wrong" would require one of the three elements I mentioned above to have been violated, and none of them were. So.. speaking of miscommunications.. perhaps "wrong" isn't quite the word you wanted to use? Or, like Shadow mentioned, did you simply confuse the GA creator's comment and the OP's comment? =O

i could BL you because I don't like Skeletor

And no, I do not mind Skeletor, I actually find Skeletor nowadays as an adult to be great comedic relief and the brightest point of the whole show for an adult watcher (I hated him ofc when I was 7 y/o ;p), my comment was hypothethical example to prove my point that anyone can BL for any reason (and yeah, I get that this last sentence of yours was sarcastic, but same as you do I do enjoy my walls of text ;p).

I may be mistaken, but I still haven't noticed any clarification as to what the OP could even be doing wrong. :/
Words are ways of communicating meanings that are intuitively recognized by usage of the word. They lose any meaning whatsoever if they're used without attention to their actual associated meaning.

Wrong refers to something which is inappropriate, unjust, immoral, or false. I'm just not seeing any sign of any of those traits anywhere. Even if your usage can apply to a "wider" usage of the word, using a word in a way that it's not intuitively recognized actively undermines the entire point of using the word.

For me, words are reasonably rigid. If that clashes with your perspective on words, simply keep that in mind, and throw out an "I'm just repurposing it", and I'll know that it's a deliberate thing, and not something needing any clarification. I mean, I still won't have any idea what you're trying to say- as I don't currently- but y'know, I'll certainly drop a topic if that's desired: After all, my aim was clarification, not censure or even correction. In other words, you're fine to use the word however you please, but I won't necessarily be able to understand you. :P

Skeletor

That said, She-Ra was arguably a better overall show, regardless. :X

what the OP could even be doing wrong. :/

And that's the point, I do not state that OP does something wrong, I stated OP is wrong. It's a big difference, as doing something wrong indicates you're doing something bad, you can be wrong but still do nothing bad(wrong). I stated that OP is wrong not that OP does somethig wrong. Let's say you state that in euclidean algebraics in decimal system 2+2=5 - you are wrong, I may say you are wrong, but it does not mean I indicate you're doing anything wrong (you may for example not understand basic math, as OP did not understand that because of Steam API bug basically any GA including DLC would be the same as GA he commented on. OP is wrong in reasoning for his comment, it does not mean he is doing anything wrong).
Heck - you're the native speaker, I'm some idiot who learned most of his english from writing on online forums, you should know well better than me what's the difference between being wrong and doing something wrong ;p

Wrong refers to something which is inappropriate, unjust, immoral, or false.

From clicky not correct in action, judgment, opinion, method, etc., as a person; in error: - from explanation I providen OP was in error. Indicating (again before you pick up on it again - INDICATING), something is an uncommon bug (prolly because of lack of experience but it doesn't mater) he was in error, because this "something" is a very common thing. GA creator was in error as well most likely, but this we do not know for certain and it's not at the moment topic of our debate ;p

That being said I really wish we close this discussion - not that I do not enjoy arguying in a polite and civilized matter just for once, but because for me it's already 3:30 AM and I really need to go to sleep ;p

ehh, again ( I repeat it for like the 4th or 5th time in this topic - see my discussion with Sooth or comment to adam), there is difference between "being wrong" and "doing something wrong". OP was wrong by assuming that this is some kind of rare bug, while it's something normal that commonly occurs in any GA including any DLCs. OP did nothing wrong by posting what he posted (I already stated that for me BL was kinda unfair, but anyone has right to BL for any reason they feel like). OP was wrong, but it doesn't mean that what OP did was doing something wrong ;p

Exactly in the sentence you mentioned ;) If OP knew it's a common bug he'd indicate it in any way even if he felt he should comment, he did not thus it indicates it's something stange for him he can join. Again - there's nothing wrong with commenting - and I explained pretty well what I was talking about in the very first comment to OP ( it's not a bug (at least not on SG side, it's because of Steam API not reporting DLCs so SG cannot know what DLC you own or not), because of that it's not the case of Shadows of Mordor GOTY but rather the case of ANY DLC or PACK containing DLCs or version that contains DLCs. So basically thousands of various stuff from Steam.).
so basically all you guys do is nitpicking on the fact that word "wrong" can have different meaning depending on sentence, while in the very first post I made in this comment chain I fully explained what "wrong" should be read as in context of OP ;p

The basis of language is communication and connection through shared understanding of meaning.

again - you take argument out of context - in context "whatever you wish for" does not really mean whatever, but rather whatever actual disctionary says it can. And in context both options we argued about are viable. |And even if language is dynamic there are still multiple meanings for mentioned "wrong" including difference between "doing sth wrong" and "being wrong". You now just try to nitpick to prove original argument wrong out of context.

I understand what you mean by "wrong", but you are wrong about it.
OP's sentence is just stating the fact: He can enter despite he has a game. You can't deny this fact is correct - he really can. Yes, this fact is well known, but this does not mean everyone know about it, or remember about it.
But you are implying that this simple statement has some deep meaning, like, that OP assumed this a bug. But this is just your imagination, OP never said anything about this (while giveaway creator did. He was wrong about it, yes). So, you are wrong (not doing something wrong) about OPs assumptions, giveaway creator wrong about his assumptions, but OP is correct in his statement.

Also, even giveaway creator is not totally wrong in calling this a bug. This bug is not caused by SG, yes, but it's a bug on steam side - not returning DLC names in api request. I could call this a feature, but there are DLCs that are actually returned by API, so API functionality is inconsistent, and thus - this is a bug.

by assuming that this is some kind of rare bug,

We've been trying to correct you on that for a while- it wasn't the OP that assumed that, it was the GA creator the OP was speaking to. The OP indicated they knew it was entirely normal.

OP: I own but I could join.. check the winner..
GA Creator's response: Has a bug going on. Whoever has the game is allowed to enter. It's already the third game today that happens. I think you'd better get out of the lottery.


was wrong
but still do nothing bad(wrong).

Your intention seems more in line with "was mistaken". Again, wrong isn't really proper for the use you're applying it to, due to how English words as a rule have very distinct implications to their usage [which is what makes synonymous words different from one another- much like how snow and ice are both synonymous with "frozen water", but have very different nature of usage.].

If what you're doing is inappropriate, unjust, immoral, or false, then it is wrong. Individual misinterpretations do not fall under any of those. The data can't be false, since it was insinuated, not openly provided- in other words, the reader's interpretation may be wrong, but the writer's statement cannot. The individual in question can't be false, as they never said anything that was debatable in the first place [though, it does seem you're still confusing who said what, which may be the main source of confusion in our discussions].

If the matter isn't with you confusing who said what, then the problem you're having is the presentation- you keep applying "wrong" to the OP or to his statement. If you said "The OP's approach was wrong" you'd still be using somewhat overly emphatic phrasing (given that all the OP did was omit detail clarifying why they could enter), but what you're saying would then match what you've indicated to be your intent.

"was mistaken" = "was wrong". Being wrong means not only doing something wrong, but also being mistaken, like you said. AGAIN - you say "sky is green" - I reply: "You're wrong, sky is blue" - is my sentence "wrong" (pun intended)? No it's not, I'm just saying you are wrong, it does not mean you are doing anything wrong, I just correct you. How hard is it to understand that I meant something else that you assumed I meant, especially as I explained what I mean in the very first post in chain?

Individual misinterpretations very much fall under single category - being false. No matter intentions, you are either right or not, even if your intention was not bad, you are still wrong, your sentence or intention is false. And data can be false as well (not related here, but data can be false - you start with wrong starting assumptions you end up with false data)

Later on you purposefully changed wrong to false - and it make your sentences right - someone cannot be false, but they still can be wrong. The only reason you changed your wording is because I brought up an argument you couldn't counquer so you ignored it and changed the word to prerted you won with new unrelated argument. We argued over a specific word, you dropped this word - thus whatever explanation you make it will not kame original explanation right.

Then again, I have stepped on slugs barefoot before and, well.. there's a reason slugs are the basis for research into new forms of superglue. No amount of bathing or even scrubbing down with abrasives got entirely rid of the lingering stickyness (perhaps because, unlike the first article I linked, it had been forcibly pushed into my pores?)- so much like with our more odorous adventures, I had to wait a few days before all lingering traces disappeared. :X

And if you get that kind of slime or stench into clothing, well.. the next few days may be less frustrating than if it got on your skin, but the clothing is all too likely to be ruined.

If you have actual reason to contact them, support can poke them for you.
If you don't, then attempting to contact them is generally just creepy and rude.

In this case, he gave you a pretty strong impression of being a bit of a screwball- the only reason you'd have to try and poke that wasp nest is if you have trouble letting things go [things which you should let go], or if you've some sort of investment in contacting that person- if contacting them has some direct bearing on your personal life, desires, goals, ambitions, or survival.

In other words, going out of your way to try and contact a random stranger with whom you have no formal or personal connection, and who doesn't impact something important to you, in a non-post-apocalyptic setting, is theoretically quite unnecessary.

with all due respect - it's the worst advice you could give. BlackLists are not suport concerns, and advocating for using support to contact someone about being BLed by them is only going to result in senseless support ticket giving support more unneccessary work. And I'm not talking just about OP here (because 1 ticket may not seem as much of difference), but any random individual seeing your advice and thinking it means it's ok to create support ticket just because someone BLed them and they want to contact them not on Steam.

BlackLists are not suport concerns,

They are if a giveaway is involved, and I've had to communicate with staff under such circumstances enough times to be sure of that.
Blacklisting prevents a winner from viewing a giveaway, which can cause difficulty in delivering/receiving a game.
As I said- if you have an actual reason [as it relates to the functioning of the site], staff will handle the matter. Blacklists as a general rule don't fall under reasons of any importance- which is something I thought I clarified in suitable detail. Apparently I underelaborated, for a change.

the worst advice

Like you said 0 BL can be concern ONLY if they were to cause difficulty in delivering/receiving a game. And it means two things:

  1. They are in such a case mainly GA creator concern, not entrant concern.
  2. You gotta be entrant in saind GA.

OP did not enter GA, so your argument is invalid in these particular circumstances on both points mentioned above, thus useless as support would not view it as GA-delivery-related (OP didn't enter GA) and your example would not work here. And at the same time it can still be viewed by other random users as saying that going through support is a proper way of adressing being BLed by someone.

Yes. That was part of the basis of including it- to help establish contrast, and emphasis that it didn't apply here.
Think of it like:
OP: "I stubbed my toe and it's bruised! But it's not broken or dislocated. Should I see a doctor?!"
Me: "If it was broken, I'd say visit an emergency room right away. Otherwise it's not worth your time to worry about."

The thing is you dond't really do "If it was broken" part, you didn't state ""if there was a problem in delivering/receiving a game due to BL you can contact the support", you said "If you have actual reason to contact them, support can poke them for you." which much more likely sounds like it's ok to contact support over any blacklist issue that is "actual" withoiut stating what this "actual" means - and it opens it to wide interpretation - whis guy that makes GA which I really want to win but has me BlackListed is an "actual" problem for me, because I really want this game!

withoiut stating what this "actual" means

"actual" was defined:

or if you've some sort of investment in contacting that person- if contacting them has some direct bearing on your personal life, desires, goals, ambitions, or survival.

In other words, going out of your way to try and contact a random stranger with whom you have no formal or personal connection, and who doesn't impact something important to you, in a non-post-apocalyptic setting, is theoretically quite unnecessary.

I simply didn't realize I'd have to use more simple and immediately relevant terms, as well (rather, I thought the exaggeratedly dramatic references for the point of emphasis made it clear I was trying to make a general point, rather than be topically relevant)- which I already acknowledged my shortcoming on.

I thought I clarified in suitable detail. Apparently I underelaborated, for a change.

Certainly, I skipped straight to dramatic reference- but my entire post was directed toward the OP. If someone wanted to extrapolate something off-base and not bother asking for clarification, then they'd find a way to do their own thing anyway, regardless of what the trigger may be.

Besides, I think blacklist comments being directed toward staff instead of rant threads may actually diminish demands on staff- especially given how the threads are prone to escalation.

tl;dr version; Not including "site-related" after "actual" was just a passing oversight, but was intended. You're not arguing against intent, you're just pointing out what is effectively a typo. :P

your "actual" definition still fails in the way i described. if said person is having for example GA I cannot enter for my top wishlisted game it is bearing on my desires, it does not mean it is a valid reason for contacting support about my BL. I get your later comment about delivery problems, but you gotta agree that your initial comment in no way indicated that specific reason and was way to vague - and because of that possibly causing problems I described, aka people contacting support because they got BLed and have "desire" to enter some GAs.

Anzway - like I said - as much as I loved arguing with you, our time zones are way too much apart for me to continue, sleepy time! ;p

This is one thing I've run into. If you blacklist someone after they win your giveaway but before they have redeemed the key, they can't see the key.

People like to blacklist the winner after they win a giveaway so someone else can win right?

If you blacklist the winner and they haven't redeemed the key yet, the key cannot be seen by them.
The area just remains a - instead of having the filled key, even if you've sent the key.

That's not how it works. Getting blacklisted means you can't see the giveaway page, but the won page is still functional. The "-" means they haven't pressed the "send key" button on their end

That is how it works, because I am the one who sent the key. I blacklisted the user after they won and they couldn't see the key.

I don't think so, I was on the other side and I could get my gift perfectly, but could not thank for it (nor ask for a reroll)

The only thing I can think of is that "I could join" implies that you actually did enter, even though you stated that you already own it.
But, that's a far stretch.

Are you sure that the one who answered you with the bug message wasn't the GA creator?

If a person could block you with no good reasons, there is no way he will unblock you. Moving on is the best way.

If someone blacklists you it means he doesn't want you to contact him in the first place. :)

Try to contact him. If you can't then mark the game as not received when you reach the 7 days mark after the giveaway end.

The gifter probably re-rolled the winner and blacklisted him for whatever reason, you can do that right?

Yup, in that case there would no longer be a win to mark as not received anyway. So it becomes a non-issue.

Maybe because you won 59 GAs already (and 0 created)? Creator probably thinks that it's time to give someone else who doesn't have that big ratio. Or maybe it is something else.

Just ignore it and move on with your life.

Some people will automatically blacklist rule breakers, or people with a poor give/win ratio. Others simply blacklist every winner because they don't want to give to the same person twice. You could have been blacklisted for any one of those reason, or even for something completely different.
