No scripted commenting, I always wrote my comments myself and I even stopped commenting unless the description contains some kind of a question or a discussion topic to which I am able to add something, since in recent months people even demand no comments at all because they don't want their message box flooded.

Likewise, if someone that posted here is blacklisted by you, let them know the reason or chance of redemption.
Check SGtools.info for the most likely answer

Only guy I know who blacklisted me was on my whitelist... And when I asked why I was blacklisted, his reply was "I don't know, all I remember is that you used to be on my whitelist".

Actually, same here. The only person I know blacklisted me was on my whitelist. When I tried to add him on Steam to find out why I was blacklisted, he blocked me. It's his right to blacklist me if he wants, I suppose, but I can't understand why he would block me on Steam rather than offer an explanation when asked.

Just don't ever bother with those people. If you put up some 100 game raffle to get on good terms with those below 1:1 wins guys, how will they even know you were the one they blacklisted in their sea of blacklists? Tell them you are a good boy now?
Comment has been collapsed.
The users on my blacklist (with one or two exceptions) are users that won a Giveaway, but never bothered to thank for it. And because there are more than enough thankful users on SG I rather have someone grateful winning my GAs.
So far I only came across one user who blacklisted me and he put me down, after I asked why (because he couldn't tell why I ended up there). So if somebody really blacklisted me, I would be curious why.
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed on the "seriously, you can't take two, freaking seconds to say thanks, then welcome to my blacklist". Unless someone specifically asks to not be thanked on the GA page or if it's a train (I always thank on one GA but try not to spam unless I have something pertinent to say on multiple GA's), I believe that common courtesy keeps the world a nicer place. When we stop observing basic manners, the world becomes a place of barbarism... I, for one, think that manners always matter no matter how "old-school" they may appear. A simple thank-you, a comment of appreciation, an acknowledgement that this place wouldn't exist without some kind of basic relationship-building.... yeah, that. :-p
As an aside, I am not asking for any blacklist redemption. Just saying that I don't care why anyone has decided to blacklist me since frankly my life is getting far too short and my back-log way too long. But hey, if you want to chat, I'm always open to a discussion because I'm the mother of MAHAYO :-D

I was blacklisted by a member, for what I can gather, no reason at all. I then tried to add him on Steam to see what I had done to offend. And then the guy blocked me. Not complaining, but as a word of advice to those who actively use their blacklist, if a person you blacklist adds you on Steam, give them a chance to know what they did. And with that I say,
#GG SIR! GG!
Said person added me on Steam and fulfilled my curiosity complex! ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD :D

He was smart enough to figure out I was actually the one who killed his puppy.
Ahaha jokes. I didn't read the description when entering one of his giveaways. Which was totally my bad. I usually do, but I didn't in that one. Also, if you try adding a Steam user and he/she just ignores it for the time, it won't let you reissue a friend request for some time, which is why I thought he blocked me, but he really didn't. So, I was quick to assume, which again was my bad. :D

Obvious past things.. plus maybe being rude, but about the second part I have literally no memories, just thinking out loud. Really. I guess I was a bad mood back in that time because normally such a thing would be irrelevant. Sooo Repented? Is there a word like that? Hopefully you won't be angry about the past's missed out giveaways, but after seeing you being that active on the forums, added you to the other list. Not much but it's open now. Vewy open

To those who I have blacklisted:
99% of the time is due to poor ratio. If your ratio is below 0.8 (i.e. 100 wins/80 giveaways) then you made it to my blacklist on a temp basis. If you have corrected this, please message me and I will correct it.

I merely want peeps to fulfill the main purpose of the site and just give what they can to the community, that's all. If someone wants to just win and never give anything back, that is their choice. It is also my choice to prevent them from winning anything from me. Just want to make it a bit more fair for others, that is all.
Comment has been collapsed.
what if that 'give what they can' means one game a year? I reapect your rules and all... I'm just pointing out that not contributing a lot is often not a choice.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough, though with bundles and the ludicrously cheap games on sale at Steam (there is a game for 0.02$ atm I believe), it is easier than ever to give :).
On the brighter side, you should take solace in the fact that I am very much in the minority among high lvl users and sg as a whole. I am probably one of the most liberal user of the blacklist function and I prefer to explain my reasoning openly rather than leave fellow peeps wondering what they did wrong.
All in all, my use of the blacklist is rarely a personal one and in a perfect world, there wouldn't be anyone on it. This is merely my way of tipping the scales in favor of those who haven't been so lucky on this site :).

You appear to be a guest gifter at CL, so you are exempted. Sorry :)

And what about winning 100 games that are worth the same amount in € that you gave away.
For example: 50 games worth 2€ given away each and 100 win worth of 1€ each. Makes 100€ given away vs. 100€ received..
Just wondering CjComplex.

Bit of an extreme case, but I do double check and if I've made an error, peeps are always welcomed to point it out to me :).
In the case that you've mentioned, they would be fine. That case would be an outlier and therefore the general rule still applies :).

Jesus Love
Romans 5:8
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
1 John 4:16
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Matthew 22:37-39
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? - Matthew 7: 1-3
Before we begin our civil conversation, I will like to make it known to you that you'll be debating with a person who was raised with a strict Catholic upbringing and years of Catholic education. I'm quite versed in scripture and the arguments behind them. If truly expect me to hash out this issue with you fully, I will expect you to back up your argument with something more substantial than "hurt feefees".
Though the short answer to your query would be no. I like it too much :D
Comment has been collapsed.
No, you were firmly stating that I should change my avatar because you found it insulting to Christians without providing context. The overall tone of your initial statement was combative.
This along with your remarks made towards fellow peeps has led me to believe otherwise. I may be mistaken, but you must admit that you did not initiate this conversation in the most positive of manners.
Comment has been collapsed.
You should, but you continue using it, anyways what ever you say that's not a reason, for me to applaud what your doing that is wrong and insulting and Unrespectful for others.
Comment has been collapsed.
Boyo, you misunderstand me. I never asked for your permission nor will I ever ask of it from you. All I asked was for you to clarify your position (which you have thus fact held up as an undisputed fact rather than subjective reasoning). You came here, made a bold statement and went about shouting down everyone while expecting to take your argument as valid. We don't make progress without being willing to hear what the other side has to say :).
For context: the scene and joke that my avatar is referencing deals with the blind belief and taking things at face value. Tl;dr, in the shows universe Santa is an evil robot who is wanted for a slew of crimes made against humanity. Another robot has decided to take his place and right the wrong by impersonating Santa and commit acts of kindness. He then wrongfully arrested and placed on death row. On the night that he is to be executed, the robot imposter's friends decide that the best course of action would be to break into the prison dressed up as Santa and claim to be the true Santa, with one exception. My avatar, a character named Dr. Zoidberg, decides to dress up as Jesus. The scene thus continues with the executioner chastising the robot's friends for lying in front of Jesus. While clearly being able to see that the other Santas are fake, he is unable to see that the Jesus before him is also an imposter and that he is about to murder an innocent being.
The show is called Futurama and the original run of the series were extremely well written and I do hope you give the series a try one day.
Take care and have a good weekend :D

I actually picked this avatar because I love the show but also because of this very scene. It is so well done and funny that it is really hard not to love it XD.

If my avatar was a Family Guy one, then I could understand to a point. That show is purposefully crude with poor writing (though I do enjoy it nonetheless).
The original run of Futurama had exceptional writers on staff, very much like the earlier seasons of The Simpsons.

Also that Avatar is NOT JESUS, is an insulting, offending and cruel parody and a lie.

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so what.” - Stephen Fry.

The whole joke is predicated on the fact that my avatar is an obvious parody of Jesus. Please, get a bit of context and do a bit of research before you go off on someone in the future. It is nonsense like this that gives religion a bad name D:.

Example: A tattooed person it might be best best person on the wrong. But what the employers sees is completely different. The image and presence is important as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
Never compare real life with the internet - they are two entirely different worlds.
However, your point is true. A heavily tattooed person will have less chance to get a good job. The same could be said about a person with a bad profile picture on, let's say, Facebook. Still, as true as your point may be, it is completely irrelevant to the topic.
Do you go around town, yelling at tattooed people in the streets, "Hey you, you insult me and my religion by having a tattoo which is slightly disrespectful to my religion, go get a tattoo removal!"? I do not think so. And if you do indeed do it, I am sorry to tell you that this is considered the symptoms of a madman.
And so, even if a tattooed person and a profile picture could be considered slightly similar, your point makes absolutely no sense.

Because people likes to troll others, and what's better that everyone Vs The poor christian guy?
Comment has been collapsed.
In case you forgot, you were the "poor christian guy" who confronted a Steamgifts user in the first place. Also, people aren't siding against you because you are christian, but because you are wrong. You should probably stop thinking that everything being told to you is about your religion.

yeah you are right on some, but Still steam Gifts Staff should have more control over the avatar, but today is me but in the future can be +1,000. So you know.

You are starting to sound like those who say we can't make fun of their prophet and then attack others for doing so. It's insulting.

Actually I din't actually attack others... i'm confused now? This is a war??? Sorry if you take it that personally.

LOL, no one is dead. None of your comments have warranted any serious injury or gained you any points, except with yourself.
And it's obviously you are confused on multiple grounds, but that's okay.
Anyways, I'm pretty done with this, you obviously don't see the very clear comparison I was making. Whether that's willful rejection of simple correlations or serious confusion, I'm not willing to engage anymore.
Have a great night. :)

I'm just going to leave my two cents, because eh, it's late, I'm rambling, and I have literally nothing better to do right now except go to bed.
I'm a Christian. I don't think CJ's avatar is insulting, and even if I did think it was insulting (I mean, thousands of movies, games, and books have characters that are parodies or messiah archetypes based on Jesus, and I don't think I have the authority to judge the legitimacy of each), I wouldn't ask him to remove it. Why? Well, a few reasons.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't mind being blacklisted, but I would like to know the reason of some of those blacklists. Don't think that this discussions are a good place to discuss it though.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think a private Steam chat would be the ideal place for the discussion to take place, but for some people, that's impossible. When I tried to ask the person who blacklisted me why it happened, he blocked me on Steam. I wasn't rude or demanding, so I don't really know why I would have been blocked on Steam instead of just given an explanation.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't remember, and I forgot to tag you for some reason. :(
Likely reason would be being rude on the forum or breaking the rules. It usually is. :P

I only blacklist people blacklisting me first, telling others "take your prozac or kill yourself" or starting threads about why they can't regift/trade their won gifts :D

Also I guess, I won't post anything in the political/controversial threads... you know why xD

Hey Scruffman! I saw your recent train thread and then checked my own BL after seeing I was on yours.
I have no recollection why you ended up there, especially since I added you in early September but I don't recall ever seeing you on the forums until recently.
Removed!! :)

If anyone has been blacklisted by me, I occasionally have a description in public giveaways that ask for a specific kind of comment to be added to my whitelist, and a warning that any generic 'Thank you' messages will be assumed to be bots or scripts and blacklisted from future giveaways. Feel free to check, and if you have been blacklisted by me, reply here, prove your humanity, and I am willing to forgive you with this warning to read descriptions more carefully in the future.

I was recently in a goood mood and i cut my blacklist from 600 to 101 (#= I also gave my reasons i why I BL on a previous topic like this, so don't think I need to add it here
On the plus side, I havee been secretly working on a whitelist . still in single digits atm however.

Sometimes, when a game goes free on a site like IndieGala or such, a lot of users rush to make giveaways for those games.
At the same time, a whole different bunch of users search for those GAs and fill their blacklists.
After a while, Support disables GA creation and deletes the free game GAs, but the blacklists remain.

how im a rude about it in forums?
and since when did i not give back to the community?
make a valid complaint... u realize there are people that dont even have a credit card or visa in this community right? then if i sold bunch of my cards and gave 0.02 games people would also blacklist me for giving crappy games.
instead of going overboard then give me a solution lol

Only two people here were on my blacklist, so I got that going for me which is nice. :3
Seriously though, I don't really like admitting blacklisting anyone.
I also don't really care why I get blacklisted. Usually, I am blacklisted by users I blacklist, which is fine. As for other blacklisters, they are a mystery to me, but I don't mind. If they have a reason to blacklist me, it's their thing. Probably annoyed by me always posting my shitty comments on the forum or something. :D

When I see I'm blacklisted by someone I don't know, I mostly am surprised, but not really hurt. I only enter group and whitelist giveaways anyways, so you could say that I only care about my "circle" of awesome Steamgifts users and friends. :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmmm... I'm probably on a few blacklists, but I deserve it probably? I don't know. It's your prerogative.
On the other hand, there are probably a lot of people on my blacklist who are on there for doing something like spamming comments or not reading descriptions, so if you're on my blacklist and you see this, I'll consider letting you go if you comment.
Update with Whitelist check.

I'm blacklisted by a lot of people mostly because of my history of past violations (when I didn't properly know the rules of the site) and/or my ratio because I fall within some people's definition of a leecher.
The only people I've ever blacklisted are those that I have seen done it to me, to even the scales.
If anyone would like to confront me about possible ways of redemption, I will be happy to discuss it with them in private. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Our group doesn't enforce a 1:1 ratio, merely a 70% ratio (0.7:1). I was one of the people that contributed to implement this as many people agreed maintaining a constant 1:1 would not achieve any equilibrium (as you'd have a snowball effect of continuous giveaways created in order to mitigate wins in a neverending reinforcing loop). Instead, those who like to give a lot do so and don't really mind, while people like me stay around the 70-75% mark as per the rules.
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't put you on my BL because of any violation... I didn't even know you had such. And I'm absolutely fine with being blacklisted in return, though I never enter GAs from people on my BL anyway.
If you'd like to know why I blacklisted you sent me a friend request on steam, if not... let's just keep the status quo. I'm ok with either.
