Hello,

I try not to comment so that I don't gain BL and lower my "resources" but recently I felt the need to let my voice out/vent

There has been (and there will always be) quite a number of discussions that -I really mean no offense- feels like elitism

I'm gonna tell a lame story -my story- first a little quick bg: Egyptian
In Egypt about 3-4 years ago 1$ was worth about 7-8EGP, over a freaking night EGP sunk badly it became 1$=20EGP nowadays it's about 1$=~16EGP
Average Income not great and no way can cover that insane inflation, so the little I could spare before is gone.

So for games my resources this days are: SG, donations from 1 or 2 Steam friends, and Steam community market (a few stable games buy their trading cards with 3c and sell it for a bit higher) doing it manually as there are tons of stories about using bots for this Valve fk them over and in a year I barely make ~ 15$ out of it
so for that little in my Steam Wallet I have to weight how much game time I will get from them (found out it is usually 1$=10hrs) for me

I don't have a visa, there is a chargable 2 years internet visa that I used to issue every now and then and even that I don't have the spare to get one rn.

SG: I only enter my Steam Wishlist GAs, enlisted in the amazing U7(former), PA & PM groups.

There used to be other resources for me but they goes out one by one:

Tremor games was my biggest source used to get TF2 and CSGO keys from their and trade for games ..Steam fked the gifting system so that is gone somewhere down the road... TG diminished with time until fully gone, r.i.p

Ubisoft on Steam gone the days "game standard price drop into 20$ and 75% off that is 5$ baby" and they are not the only ones..

I have a secondary Steam account just the one and god only knows I never used it here on SG, I only created it to get double the trading cards so I can keep up a little in the badge collecting "game"... steam make game given free on it gives no cards.. indiegala stopped giving steam keys going indiegala free whatever... HB free is so scarce now

Epic came it is threatening my ability to buy games with the little I earn through Steam community

TLDR;

Long freaking lame rant I know but the point is:
SG is amazing site, fantastic spirit idea.. I know tons of bots is really bad (some might be for trading cards to help themselves a little also but still having joy by making others miserable is not good).
I truly hope the persons,creators and admins of the site never cave in to -again my deepest apologies I mean no offense- the elitists wishes
I know from experience in real life that the ones will be hurt the most will be the little guys like me

Sorry for the long read and have a good day all

How many users are on SG? And of the users that bother to read your thread, how many will actually blacklist? 2? 3? 7? It's such a minute percentage, it's not even worth considering. And since they conceal blacklisted users' giveaways from you, you'll never even know what you're missing. Bottom line: who cares? Won't affect you in any noticeable way.
