Hello people,

I'm kinda disturbed by a comment on one of my giveaways. An user wrote "Why no win" on it.

I don't know if I should see it as another person whining as they don't win or if it's a joke. I mean, why whine on a giveaway?

I looked his profile and well, it's a new user, that did give 1 game.

So what do you think? And while I don't blacklist for that reason if the message is in the forums, I'm kinda torn between doing that because I feel like it was a begging move or keep my blacklist nearly empty.

EDIT: Apparently, following the intervention of one of you or the end of the giveaways, the user deleted their comments. Thanks for the input and advices too. It helped to clear the mind and to choose the "no blacklisting option".

Gah he wrote that again in another giveaway. Yeah moving on is the best thing to do, I agree... if it was one comment. Now that it's twice..., I'll explain to him that it's the kind of comment that can lead people to a blacklist.

Just fully ignore it I would say. Leave no comment. Blacklist if you feel you must, but just let it be OR let it go. Let it go....

Explanations rarely tend to go inside their heads and stay, when it's that kind of person and that kind of comment. But good luck!

If you could go back in time and talk to yourself when you felt like that, do you feel like you could have discouraged yourself from feeling that way?
Woof, personal pronoun party with THAT one.

I think I could have done, absolutely. Like I said, it wasn't intended as such, but was taken that way, and reading it back, I completely understand why it was taken the negative way

If you value what you actually just said you would edit that little bit of text out. Some may report you for that.

Why would I get suspended/banned for that? (Thanks for the heads up, both of you, by the way. Edited most of it out)

It was a derogatory statement, one that is for sure considered "inappropriate conduct".

You mean my self-effacing comment? Can you really get suspended for insulting yourself? Seems a little counter-intuitive, really

Directed at yourself or others, the word is at it is. Bigotry. Derogatory in nature and is not accepted in most civilizations. I mean, do you go to the local store and spout such words openly? Even if just directed towards yourself?

Even if you reply that you do. I most certainly know that you do not. Not without the implication that there might be repercussions.

It would seem that you do not know me IRL in any way, shape, category or form, so you can't "most certainly" know anything at all about me other than what you can see on my profile, because I kinda do, but I can be a little.......distasteful at times, but never serious about it

. Anyway, edited out now. I want to commend for commenting and letting me know about that, I really do appreciate it, even if you did find it in the worst possible taste yourself, you still let me know, so Thank You, I really do mean that

It's either a poor attempt at being funny or a display of harmless ignorance, either way it doesn't warrant any reaction from your side (and I'd say blacklisting would be quite an exaggeration). Just ignore it.

I agree that a blacklist is the harsh way as I'm not a blacklister. But I do hope that he isn't writing that on every giveaway he's entering.

Why would it matter what is being written there ... and why would you not simply give it to the guy/gurl chosen automatically?

This. It's way more confusing that someone made an entire post about someone typing "why no win". Actually, as far as trolling goes, that statement had a pretty good ROI.

if there is a big (or even little) empathy you should feel free to blacklist ^.^

I hate blacklisting - I know when to do it. But the fact that I asked for advice means that I was really uncomfortable with the comment and didn't know how to take it and handling, my conscience telling me that if I don't blacklist in the forums for that kind of discussions, I shouldn't do it for a comment.

Needed some people to clear the mind ^^.

And thus we have gotten to the root of the problem. I asked you "Why no p#&i$?", a question that, for the sake of simplicity, we shall say is answered by the fact that you do not have a Y chromosome. Much like the original confused chap who's question of "why no win" which is explained by the fact that he was not chosen by the Steam gods. Tell him to sacrifice a Bundle game next time, I believe it pleases Them.

I think Jonex is trying to tell you that you spent too much time in here with us, and you should do go out or do other stuff more often.

I, on the other hand, would encourage you to keep on living the dream! Thank you for the whitelist, you're like a SG hero! <3

People bitch about 'thanks' chains. People bitch when they write something else. People bitch if guys enter and don't comment anything.,
Either way you're doing it wrong, can't please anyone anymore.

I hope you didn't think that I was bitching? If it's the case, I'm sorry for the confusion, I was just seeking some advices about a comment I was not comfortable with.

If you were not, I'm sorry. Sometimes it's hard to get all the nuances from text alone. The thing is I recently saw all those giveaways where the creators put one on blacklist just because of people writing 'thanks'. Which is just ridiculous and annoying. I think blacklisting should be a last resort thing, not something to throw around on a daily basis for banal things. I have one guy on my blacklist, and he was a proven scammer, that's why he's on it.

Yeah I can understand and while it's true that I prefer a creative comment over a simple thanks, I would never put someone on blacklist for that :).

I saw the same comment on some other giveaway, looks like it's been deleted now too.
I thought it was weird and that it sounded like begging, but then again, the comment wasn't very clear either.

I wouldn't have posted if I wasn't truly disturbed to the point I needed some inputs from others to clear my mind. Anyway, they deleted the comments, meaning that they understood that it could be uncomfortable for people ^^.
