ha, forums where every idea has a high chance its already been done.
Comment has been collapsed.
Which is why most of us search to see if the topic has already been addressed before posting the same thing again. It just adds more clutter to the discussion forum.
Comment has been collapsed.
true very true, but there is no harm in a topic being repeated as it happens all the time.
also when someone makes there own topic there in control, as to were they can reply to everyone and get updated as new comments come in.
as to were if its someone elses thread they wont see each reply, or each comment, so it still works out in the end as i want to read each and every comment, and i want to try and reply to everyone <3 ^w^
Comment has been collapsed.
Someone who knows how to make and take a joke.
Someone who doesn't give in to trolling/insulting.
A current-correct comment (knowing what's going on in the world correctly).
Someone who understands the whole purpose of this site (a giveaway site, not a 1:1 ratio, not a give real games not bundled, not he won too many and hasn't given away enough, etc etc.)
So basically someone mature.
Comment has been collapsed.
love it
i think another idea hit me, ill use this thread kinda as a whitelist area too, going by the comments ill whitelist mostly everyone whos good natured who appears giving there feedback, simply as i love good natured people and good feedback >w<
thankyou for your reason :3
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree so incredibly much that I'm at loss for words.
Well said.

"Someone who knows how to make and take a joke."
sadly that quality is in short supply on this forum.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't whitelist anyone, because I don't make whitelist giveaways. Still, if I wanted to whitelist some people, I would prefer to whitelist the ones that are polite. I wouldn't care about ratio, but mostly about politeness. ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
ive yet to make any whitelist giveaways either.
but i think the whitelist for me is a list of good natured people, which not sure if ill ever make any whitelist giveaways, but if i ever make group based ones then the whitelist will come into play then, though i think i just like the idea of whitelisting the good natured people i run into, even if its mostly a thankyou at times more then an opening to giveaways <3
Comment has been collapsed.
I would gladly whitelist good natured people too, but as I said, I find no reason to do that, because I won't make any whitelist giveaways. My giveaways never have restrictions. Even my private giveaways can be entered by anyone. But yeah, it's your choice what to do with your whitelist. I think that politeness is more important than ratio. ;) If a guy gives away a lot of games, but he's rude, there's no reason to put him into your whitelist (just my opinion). And we kinda agree. Good natured and polite are somewhat same terms. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
very true very true, it isnt the amount you have given, its about how you are overall as a person, which is why most of my whitelists come from the forums, as you can truely see how someone is.
as anyone can make a giveaway, yet that does not make one respectful or truely nice.
as ive known a few who have done hundreds of giveaways, yet in the end there still bad eggs when it comes down to it.
which kinda leads to an conflict, the giveaways make them look like great people, yet there true persona is of one who isnt that nice or respectful sadly.
my 1st three giveaways were group based, i thought it would simply make it a you must join but still visable to all.
sadly i found out the giveaway was only viewable to group members, kinda bummed me out, but i lived and learned.
so now mine are all no restrictions at all, as i always prefer giving everyone an chance <3
though still stinks my 1st three got slightly bungled up x.x
Comment has been collapsed.
To make people join your group, you can create a group giveaway and then a discussion in the forum saying that if anyone wants to enter this giveaway (you'll provide giveaway link), then they have to enter this group (you'll provide group link). It's nice to give everyone a chance though. ^_^
Comment has been collapsed.
i ended up making a forum thread before it ended as i wanted to give everyone a chance even if i messed up lol.
but now i just add an link to the group which is easier and more optional <3

sadly ive only seen the 1st episodes as i only own the 1st dvd, someday ill watch the rest D:
Comment has been collapsed.
hmm, another crazy anime would be the idiot adventures of photon, short yet funny xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I remember watching something with a similar name..
Comment has been collapsed.
photon was one of the great vhs era animes, i one day actually ran thru amazon vhs anime and made a list of every freaking classic anime i could, since over the years frogot the names of so many of them. ^x.x^
oh if you like cats that can shapeshift into human form, geobreeders was awesome xD

I haven't watched much anime lately but I can always look into it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
ah me neither sadly, always something sidetracking when trying to get things done would see, or simply end up doing something else.
had to power thru last saturday of toonami episodes missed 2-3 weeks of, was nice but almost didnt finish series 2 , still gotta recap a few others x.x

heh, well, hopefully you can finish recapping them :)
Comment has been collapsed.
aww crude just remembered i gotta catch up on naruto shippiden still, and parasyte if theres any new episodes missed.
wish they still had extended hours, instead they cut them down, use to be anime ended at 6am x.x
Comment has been collapsed.
I watched parasyte recently actually, I liked it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
ive been watching it from start to end, i dont know if i missed any others from this season.
but my god its so sad at so many points, it reminds me of when i watched gantz x.x
great animes, yet so many sad momments x.x
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I know what you mean, though gantz was a bit more twisted if you ask me lol
Comment has been collapsed.
o-o gantz was insane... so quickly everything went to hell...
from what ive heard the manga is large... @_@ and then they got the live action films.
i wish theyd add more to the animated series...
Comment has been collapsed.
I watched it quite a while ago haha, it was an interesting one that's for sure
Comment has been collapsed.
o.o it was very interesting, things changed so much from season one, to season two.
gotta say older animes are some of the best.
one thing i dislike about some animes is they cut them short, like 1-2 seasons and done, well others run alot longer.

so to whitelist for you is like a thankyou to the host, thats a good reason too :3

I'd say it pretty random for me to be honest. Someone that I've randomly noticed making good, or funny post, or being nice in general.
Comment has been collapsed.
ah i fully understand that, as thats how ive whitelisted some before, saw a recent forum post and ended up whitelisting them in the end <3
Comment has been collapsed.
aww well thats fine, alot of people dont as they have no reason for it :3
Comment has been collapsed.
what i feel is a good reason tends to be someone whos helpful, someone whos giving, someone whos respectful.
They just have to be nice, which I suppose includes all of those things. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
nice people are the best of all <3
which is why im glad i started visiting steamgifts more as its full of them.
well the steam forums are well slightly less favorable at times x.x
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, most people are pretty nice here.
It's why I keep coming around. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
i mostly floated around various group or game forums on steam trying to help out were possible, but seems ya always run into a few negatives.
as to here it seems theres a higher ratio of positives then negatives <3
which is great as noone needs someone being negative raining on there day ^w^ we all need a place were we can be positive without negatives trying to bring us down.
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree. SG was around for a very tough time in my life last October, and for that I'm thankful.
Lots of great people here, and they helped a lot, despite not even knowing what had happened. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
^w^ gah im loving these forums <3
ive been going thru tough times myself here and there, which some friends tend to stick around and support.
yet there is always gonna be ones who run off over time, or simply dont wanna deal with an person whos emotinal due to life problems.
or simply dont feel like talking much lol.
which forums wise you can always find someone new whos willing to listen and help <3

aww what happened? the whitelist burgler stole your whitelist, and didnt feel like starting over from scratch?
hamburgerler from mcdonalds, yet on steamgifts.
^w^ what reason led you to stop?
Comment has been collapsed.
took me a few mins of re reading that, basicly too many people missing out as you cant whitelist them all correct?
gah i know the feeling, my 1st 3 giveaways were group based, i assumed that everyone would be able to see them, yet only join if were in the group.
i was wrong sadly, so last group ones ive ever done, which i made an forum post directing people to the giveaways so they didnt miss out though <3
Comment has been collapsed.
Very good point imho. I mostly use the whilelist as a small means of encouragement though. At least that's how I'm imagining it will be interpreted if/when people end up on a bunch of whitelists :)
Comment has been collapsed.
ah, basicly the pay it foward idea? or something along those lines?
help someone, and have them help another and make it like a never ending chain <3
Comment has been collapsed.
Uhm... well not quite like that. More like as a pat on the shoulder for being, or doing something good, or rather something that made me notice :P
Comment has been collapsed.
thats sounds about right >w<
let no good deed go un noticed <3
or good behavior lol
Comment has been collapsed.
So you're basically saying I'm not in your whitelist? Well, damn. ;_;.
Comment has been collapsed.
o.o giveaways with no social attachment
i can understand why one would prefer it that way, im not highly social myself except that sides mostly rl wise, online wise i can get social at times.
Comment has been collapsed.
Basically, whitelist is for people who stand out in a positive way, and i think they deserve something nice from time to time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haven't made whitelist-only giveaways yet... maybe because my whitelist is too small :)
In my whitelist I put people who are helpful, nice, and make a lot for the community... that's all I think
Comment has been collapsed.
hmm i think whitelist are allowed to enter any type of giveaway you make, other then level based if correct.
so even if its small you could use it as a all access pass if you ever setup requirements i think.
also love the reason <3
Comment has been collapsed.
I meant that it's so small that I barely would get any entry :P
I can't afford to give unbundled games away, and many people buy the bundles I buy, so...
Comment has been collapsed.
ah yes, bundles are great for giveaways, i understand what ya mean as im low income myself which get near 100 a month after bills wise, yet survivable.
which what i was refering too if you ever made an group giveaway, the whitelist would allow them to join even if they werent in the group, basicly an all access entry pass even if they dont meet the requirements, dont know if level restrictions apply with whitelist or not.
but giving away bundled games is one of the main giveaway types out there as its affordable, and if its affordable its great as it allows people who couldent before to do giveaways <3
so as i said i fully understand what you mean.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh now I get what you mean! But If I add the whitelist to a group giveaway... well, there would be low chances
Comment has been collapsed.
basicly if im correct you can add as many groups to a giveaway as you want, probally is a limit on how many though.
yet your whitelist is able to enter any giveaways you make, which not sure if level restrictions apply.
as if its a level 3 giveaway only, not sure if whitelist would still allow them entry if there lvl 1.
still new and learning myself <3
Comment has been collapsed.
The level restriction should still work, I believe
Comment has been collapsed.
so the idea would be, make an group based giveaway, whitelist if correct level could still enter it without being in the group listed.
as whitelist is basicly access to every giveaway you make, not sure if they gain access to private ones or not with whitelist alone.
gotta say steamgifts is very interesting
Comment has been collapsed.
No, private giveaways are private, only people with the link can enter. Of course, you can send the link to your whitelisted people :)
Comment has been collapsed.
thought so, ive gotta read the faq so i fully know, otherwise im soley grasping at straws on what are guesses, which most of the time are right, but cant run around tossing out the maybes, and ifs about this kinda thing, as i dont wanna confuse others because i soley dont know the full on facts >w<
Comment has been collapsed.
You can read the any FAQs how many times you want, you'll never understand everything simply by reading them, you need to ask or experience for yourself
Comment has been collapsed.
very true, thats usually how i do things learning from experience, which i read the FAQ only tells you so much sadly.
kinda sad when FAQ only tell so much on a specific subject, but i think ive got a slightly larger grasp on the whitelist subject now.
as whitelist will keep all level restrictions on the giveaway which is made.
whitelist acts like a group to were those on it can enter and noone else can.
kinda like a private giveaway, yet you can add groups to the list to make it whitelist+group giveaway.
i think i fully understand specificly how it works when tied to an giveaway now ^w^ thankfully as now i wont make any mistakes if i ever add it to a giveaway, which would most likely be alongside an group or two if i ever did.
Comment has been collapsed.

huh, where you replying to them, or me, and which comment as slightly confused at the momment.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was replying to you, about how whitelist really works.
Since you mention elsewhere in the thread you are pretty new, I'd recommend reading FAQ (and guidelines). Whitelist is explained there in more detail
Comment has been collapsed.
ill have to read that sometime today, i think ive grasped most of the idea how it works, yet just not fully what it gives people access too.
thanks for the reccomendation ^w^ as i do prefer to have what i say being the correct info, v.s the ifs and maybes.
Comment has been collapsed.
You do that, and if something is not clear enough don't hesitate to ask )
Comment has been collapsed.
i read it and i think i fully grasp how it works specificly

- People who talk to me.
- People who are nice.
- People from my tiny country.
- People who are funny.
- People who are active.
- People who don't get butthurt over my opinions or jokes.
- And last but not least, people who are handsome.
It takes multiple of these points to actually get there, though.
Comment has been collapsed.
so basicly, the door is inched open slowly to the whitelist, which reasons adding up to an opened door.
i like the way you think, and the reasons are great <3
so basicly they have to have multiple reasons to gain access to your whitelist, nice idea <3
Comment has been collapsed.
Ehh, anyone, really, and any reason. If someone's nice to me, makes me chuckle, doesn't flip out when I say something "offensive," or pretty much just talks to me, I'll probably Whitelist them.
I'm not too picky q:
Comment has been collapsed.
i hear ya, im not picky much either, i whitelist ones who show good behavior <3
=3 oh flip out? do u mean flip out and begin dancing? no? darn!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hehe qx If someone flips out on the dance floor, then they must be a cool cat. So they'd probably get the Whitelist treatment...
... as long as they're not doing the Harlem shake. In that case, I'll banish them to the Blacklist realm!
You made me chuckle and you seem nice, so you get double WL points ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
o.o harlem shake was an over used trend x.x it made me go wtf when i saw them dancing like that lol.
what id rather see is actual dancing <3
double points!?!?! does that mean i gain access to a powerup? 0.0 POWA UP! its a me wario!
Comment has been collapsed.
Same here! Haha. But my first thoughts were something on the lines of "should I call an ambulance?" Because I thought I was watching people having seizures. Then I heard the name and thought maybe it's a scam, they pretend to have a seizure so people will donate to them.
And yes, you do get a power-up. You get one magical mushroom, it'll make you really big! Or it might make you hallucinate. One or the other o:
Comment has been collapsed.
o.o right, i think i was thinking the same thing when i saw harlem shake before, its like the seizure dance :/
actually had a friend back in school who would have seizures it sucked majorly, as it would happen at random, and all the teachers had to act quick as to stop her from swallowing her tounge by accident, which would lead to choking.
lmao!!!! holy, that would be crazy, i can imagine it now, you take the mushroom and start hallucinating imagining ur gigantic trying to stomp on everyone, the next day u wake up in jail wakeup in jail with a buncha pissed off people with boot prints all over them xDDD

i was hoping to hear what you were meaning as tad bit curious.
Comment has been collapsed.
it refers to a type of political/governmental structure in which a country's leaders are voted for and elected by the population, but it's also become something of a general term to describe any situation in which someone has free rein to make a decision etc.

Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, you're totally right, but I've been berated in the past for small giveaways or something about ratio(whatever that means) and I don't wanna deal with it again. I'll probably go ahead and give what I can, but it's still pretty discouraging.
Comment has been collapsed.
hmm ratio? only thing i can think of that would be ratio is , gifts given and gifts won?
o.o people were negative to you over small giveaways, and low amount of giveaways?
guess there is sticklers everywhere, and little negatives everywhere :/
well dont give up, as sometimes the work is thankless, sometimes people will bash you over nothing.
but if your able to make someone happy its all worth it <3
ive yet to see anyone speak about my ratio which was 0 giveaways till now , yet i never really was on steamgifts much, nor the steamgifts forums.
still i say do what you can do and remember you cant please everyone :3

I've been too worried about trying to please everyone for quite a bit, I think I'm starting to get over it now. Thanks for the advice <3
Comment has been collapsed.
i use to try to please everyone, i still kinda do try too, yet the fact always hits ya like a brick wall that you cant please everyone x.x

Any nice person. It's useless to be in my whitelist but i like to see the 400 persons in it thinking all are nice persons. I don't know the max number of persons in whitelist but it's frightening because there are so many nice persons here and i don't want remove anyone.

that would stink to hit max whitelist as ive gotta agree its nice having a list full of the nice people you have met or taken notice of <3
hello there ^w^ lol
but yeah wish we had higher limit caps , as one day the day we hit max will come, just like steams friend caps, though we can raise it for a cost which still stinks, as im at 500 of 600 i think.
Comment has been collapsed.
basicly, just comment what you feel is a good reason to white list someone.
what i feel is a good reason tends to be someone whos helpful, someone whos giving, someone whos respectful.
basicly any good quality would qualify as a reason to whitelist others, but id like to hear what everyone elses reasons would be.
edit: one thing i wanna say, your all great people and id friend you all on steam if was possible.
