I noticed that my WL is swelling fast, I'm currently at 150+, main reason I add people is for their good ratio, so there are a LOT of people that I could still add , problem is that more people in WL = less chances they have of winning any WL-only GA (not that my GAs are anything special, just cheap bundle games, and NOT in a Student123 way :D ). So I'm wondering how people handle this, do you add anyone that you see fit, are you very strict, or anything else ??

How many users in your whitelist?

View Results
0-50
51-100
101-200
201+

I just add ppl I like. Ppl who made my SG experience pleasant, who I like to chat with, who I met on forums and in groups / events etc. My WL is 124 users, but some of them are not very active anymore so Id say its more like 80-90 active ppl.

^ Yes, this! I don't care about someone's ratio ( unless it's just ridiculous), just about how much I like them. Cracking some jokes and showing excitement about threads, puzzles and giveaways are a great way to earn a spot.

I whitelist you until you win something. I whitelisted a lot of people who haven't won much to help give them some extra chance.

like 4. i tend to whitelist people that make trains or massive giveaways, but i mostly dont like whitelisting because most people even blacklist me when i say that i "whitelisted them"... just because of my ratio which i dont want to fix by giving away games that are less then 0.20$ dollar. so it well litterly take alot of time to raise my whitelist cap xD

89 and counting. Some go on for niceness, others for creative puzzles and some simply because they entertained me.

EDIT: 90

I got a group on Steam where I'm adding lovely people from SG everytime I notice somebody who amazes me in one way or another. I'm creating giveaways for them from time to time like they were my SG whitelist. I think it's even better way to create your WL cos all these nice people can get to know each other and even create giveaways for the group. Making giveaways in my group is not obligatory but people keep doing them anyway because they are lovely indeed :) I reward these people and other active group members for being such a polite persons with additional giveaways avalaible only for them :) And when it comes to my WL on SG I'm adding there only those people I was lucky to get to know better, so there are only few people now :) Thanks for reading I would add giveaway here if I wasn't at work but maybe I will add it when I'll get back home. Reply to this comment with random word or anything and I'll send you a link when GA will appear :) And yes, SG community really amazes me with so many good people. Not a surprise we became addicts active members, it's all about all these nice people we meet there :) I've used word "people" too many times today :P

I'm not motivated enough to check right now, but it was 100 last time I looked. I tend to add overall nice, helpful or contributing people -- rude people end up on the other list (^-_-^). I also check people who say thanks, and rather than blacklist, I may whitelist them. Money's tight right now -- I'm a carpenter who specializes in residential construction (and so I don't work as much in winter) -- but hopefully after the holiday wallet drain is over I'll get around to some WL gibs for those wonderful peoples. XD

Looks like I'm at 95 right now. I go for people who I have enjoyed interacting with in the forums, people who activate gifts/keys after they win my GAs and people from whom I've won a GA. I think one or two of them are for amusing usernames as well. For the time being I don't plan on doing any Whitelist GAs and use it more as a "who's who" of SG.

On a related note, what's the Whitelist max? Is it the same as the Blacklist which I think I've heard is 1000?

Well, that's really A LOT :D. From the poll it looks like most people tend to keep a smaller WL, but I see there's also the opposite side of the spectrum.

I would say 90% of the people on my WL are rule-abiding contributors who gave more (usually much more) than they won.

The other 10% are people who wrote interesting, insightful or helpful posts on the forum. They also have to be rule abiding, but I don't care about their ratio. I even have some Level 0 users there.

The purpose of my WL is not to artificially give a better chance to a small group of people, but rather to help me be certain that the better games I give (outside some groups) reach worthy winners.

I only make public and forum GAs, so, no whitelist (empty).

I don't have a blacklist either.

Im at 56, but then i guess 30% of them wouldn't even care to enter a giveaway so.. ye =D
But it's hard keeping in check if you got no contact at all with people and added them a long time ago, i can honestly say that i sometimes clear mine.. Maybe i did add someone because the person said he/she was working his ratio blabla, then i check a half year later and nothing changed ;)
Ratio isn't everything tho, im aware that not everyone can't afford to giveaway as much, so sometimes i just might see a helpful or nice person at the forum and gets on my WL. : )
My blacklist is very empty.
