Make blacklists public.

too much work. don't mind they being hidden.

It's better to be private since your quarrel with someone else has got nothing to everybody.

What other said. Also, if you want to know why you've been blacklisted, in most cases I think it's because you broke the rules. If you don't know why, you can still try to add the person who blacklisted you and ask him/her the reason.

Where can I find my blacklist/whitelist?

Also 2) seems good.

Blacklists are better off hidden. That way whoever you blacklist won't come annoy you over it. Plus your quarrels with other SG members remains your own.

I'd like a reason field too so I wouldn't have to write those in a separage Google spreadsheet.

I think it would be nice to know what giveaways you have no chance of winning, and why whatever user decided they don't like you. I honestly wish I could say that I haven't done anything wrong and this doesn't affect me, but as I was stupid and regifted I am on many of these lists. (enough about my stupidity)

@OP - This would be interesting, but may be something the dev's don't feel is worth adding to the site.

Public BlackList (not by definition, triggered) would be nice for puzzlemakers, as they could post them in Puzzle topics so none blacklisted user solves whole puzzle for nothing.

As for details for blacklisting it's double edged sword - on one hand someone may know instantly why he's blacklisted, on the other hand I can already see all the calling-out whiny topics "User XYZ BlackListed me becayse of ZYX! It's unfair! Pls bann him!".

I wonder what the blacklisted party sees if they somehow get the direct link to the giveaway that they are blacklisted from.

Anyway, I'm against the idea of public blacklists. They were public, that's what this change is all about.

Don't see any problem with making the blacklists public (after all, it was always that way).

Not sure the idea of giving reasons WHY people are on it is going to do anyone any favours though. As others have said, this should remain between that user and the blacklister.

ooooooh, I can already see all the possible blacklisting reasons:

• doesn't like llamas

• has given away Monday Night Combat on Thursday

• name starts with K

• claims he likes llamas, but I suspect he doesn't

• GIBE ME FRE GAEMS OR DONT REMOVE FROM BLACKLIST !!!1

• is illuminti

INB4 "Y U BLOKCLIST MEH!!! IMMA GUD GUY I WISHED YOU A CANCER BUT I WAS JOKING U RE SO IMMATURE REPORTED !"

Just curious how it works, for example if someone has me on the blacklist and I go to their profile and see a public giveaway I can enter the giveaway but not participate on it? If I find a private giveaway url I can enter the giveaway but not participate on it?

I am all in favour of good old fashioned witch hunt but too often they lead to chaos and chaos is HERESY!

1) Yes, but only if it's optional.
2) Yes, this would be great.

Even there is description field which is can be used to write down notes the reason of someone's blacklist

I don't think it's a good idea, well.... u know...

Jealous hater naughty kid can write down "whatever" notes the reason they blacklist someone, it can be a rude joke, ridiculous comments, saying lies, and so on which hurts other SG Members

Lets say an example (Just example anyway don't be angry to me :DDD bwahahaha)

Let's say I blacklist SG member Already1taken --- (Just example though, don't be so serious :DDD)

.

SG Members : DrawRenjer

Blacklist : Already1taken

Reason : Thief --- (In the matter of fact u never steal anything from me)

.

SG Members : Already1taken

Blacklist : DrawRenjer

Reason : Thief --- (In the matter of fact I never steal anything from u)

.

And both this 2 SG Members publish their blacklist + the lies story, and everyone on SG just read that.

So what do u think ?

So...so.. so.... let the blacklist has no comment field

And...

Anyway we already have (*plinter Cell) Blacklist is something (game) for public

so no need another (forum member) blacklist to be made (for) public

(^^)

dunno I hate the whole blacklist thing altogether

Voting for public blacklists. Since the person has a right to add me to his blacklist, I have a right to see it.
Not really for complaing about his decision, he can always block me actually. Just for myself and the chances for people I like.

I think making it viewable by the blacklisted party should be good enough. Making it viewable to the public just seems like you want a way to publicly shame someone without violating the "no calling out someone" rule. The part that really confuses me is that while you want this to be public, you want it all to be hidden from the Mods. That right there raises so many red flags that it's impossible to take this seriously.

Eh pointless, and I understand your point OP buut this still would be only stirring up a lot of drama

No

No, since then we would get lots of people asking to be removed or asking the reason why they got there in the first place...

I'd say force it to be public. That will cut down on a lot of abuse.

How about blacklisting this ad that just showed up on the game giveaway page!!! :| Or at least move it under the important clicky stuff..,.

Making blacklists public will only lead to even more blacklisting. Blacklisted people will get butthurt and it will trigger blacklisting of those who blacklisted.
