Should people read giveaway descriptions as a show of respect for the giveaway creator?
Could I perhaps convince you into lowering the short bundled train from level twos into level ones? If not, I understand. I shall eventually raise my level in the hopes that one day I will be able to enter more prestigious giveaways. Until then, I leave you adieu.

Well I don't have a picture of a cat playing with balls but I have a picture of girls playing with a cat's balls, is that good too?

I always make a point of reading the giveaway description. As far as I am concerned if you don't have time to read what someone posted while offering YOU the chance to win a free game, then you don't have time to enter the giveaway either.
Level 5 hopefully in a month or two depending on moneys. Soon....Soon....

Only the fanciest 'animal' I could find!
Sadly, I couldn't find anything of this nature in Steampunk.

Okay, I'll give you that one, but only because of how fancy that hairpin is =O

Nice attention to detail you got there! That's rare. :3

Oh, sure, you judge me now, but you know you'll be flocking right over to me when I finish building my nest made out of shiny things >:|

They're are BLUE shiny things. Of course I will flock yay for learning new wordaround you! I'm gonna be that close:

Though this is not fancy, I hope you like it. X)

People may or may not comment. Such is life in SG.

Almost sure I'm blacklisted for another reason, but I would still post a picture, because I can!

Thank you for that outlook- the world needs more steampunk kitties!

Ouch, that hit me! :(
So guess I'll explain it and ask for an apology :)
On weekends I often have very little time and I'm on mobile only - that's right - no computer on weekends (mostly).
My galaxy S2 bugs way too often right now. Whatsapp is fine, but browsing websites can be a pain in the.. :P
So with the little time I have, I join group/whitelist GAs, often overlooking the describtion.
Wasn't meant to be ungrateful, I probably just haven't seen it :)
Love all your GAs and hope you like a fancy lama ^_^

I can't say if that's appropriate or not [I mean, really- that's a hard consideration that I haven't given near enough time], but it seems the timing of the giveaway was against you, in that case :X
I do make notes in a user's tags if they comment regularly and contributively, however, so I can't guarantee your usually-unable-to-comment circumstances won't poke at the matter again in the future.
While we're on the topic, you're over-ratio for PosTho, you have three days to correct that or face a temporary ejection from the group. Please make sure not to accept any PosTho wins during this period, without attempting to fix your ratio, as that'll lead to a permanent ejection.
In any case, thank you for taking the time to offer an explanation! :)

Not quite what I meant by fancy, but y'know, Hyraxes are cool enough that I'll let it slide :D

Knowing you, I feel like your omission of an image was an intentional +1 to the required comment count :P

Last bit of the OP.
Unlocking a few games for giveaway, just a fun little event to help prevent people from having to call themselves out.
Each post without an image both doesn't count toward the required comments for unlock, and adds 1 to the total required.
Well, it's part of the game, so it's not like it's a bad thing. Back-and-forths are always fun :)

No picture because I'm a non-conformist, but have a comment because I'm not a dick.

Given that you increased the required responses, others may disagree.
I, however, approve of your proper antagonistic participation in the game :D
Comment has been collapsed.
You went for the dragon option, didntcha? :P
Though, honestly, the fact that according to the poll there's apparently three Tetonys running around winning games from me has me concerned. o.O
Comment has been collapsed.
I am fancy, you don't need any other animals!

I will count this comment twice, because you are that fancy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Noes, it's quite the opposite to what I wanted to achieve D:
Also about entering without reading descriptions - I like to read them always when I'm on my PC. But sometimes when I'm on my mobile keyboard f**** up really badly and it doesn't want to show after touching screen in text box area. Or it shows, allows me to type "Yeah I k", hides itself and I'm not able to end my sentence or just delete this something that is typed inside, so I;m leaving GA without writing anything. And I sometimes forget to enter into this GA once again when I'm on my PC to write a comment ^_^'

Pretty sure you're safe from leaving my whitelist by this point, much less hitting the other list :P
Anyone that I had tagged as having offered contributive comments within the past few months, wasn't removed from whitelist or added to blacklist.
[And even then, I admit I may have missed tagging a few people in PosTho giveaways].
The issue is with people who make a point of never, ever reading giveaway descriptions, and I just wanted to give them as friendly a poke on the matter as I was able.
Since there was no other way to poke them about it and actually be sure they'd read on the matter [that being their overall shortcoming, afterall], this was the only way I could think to do it.
I honestly don't care if people comment or not, but the constant impression of 'don't read, don't comment, don't say thank you' from some SG members is.. unpleasant, certainly within the context of whitelist and good-conduct groups. :X
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm on your blacklist but I have never even entered a giveaway from you, I'm not asking you to remove me but I do wonder why I am on it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I do most of my SG browsing on my phone, so while I do read every description I'm not likely to comment unless it's specifically asked for or a smaller group/whitelist giveaway. Mobile is just so slow and kinda painful to comment.
Comment has been collapsed.
My issue isn't with commenting- I certainly don't do that as much as I'd like.
It's with not taking time to just glance at the description of the giveaway, before entering.
Or rather, it's with people doing that regularly.
I may have caught people making a rare pass-over on this, but my main aim was to point out the fact that I've noticed the same people ignoring descriptions for every giveaway they enter.
That's just.. crass, in my opinion.
Taking a few seconds- just enough for a quick glance- to read a description seems the bare minimum gratitude we can show toward a giveaway creator for their generosity.
Not that I'm remotely, vaguely, faintly in the same ballpark as the truly generous people on SG, but rather, I believe EVERY creator- even the worst of leeches- deserves that show of respect.
If you feel it's good enough to enter, why don't you feel it's good enough to show respect for receiving?
That contrast confuses me. :/

Yes I think you have a good purpose with this thread. I hope some people reconsider their habits. :)
A lot of people take giveaway creators for granted. Maybe because they don't care, or because they give enough of their own that they don't feel the need to appreciate others? To keep myself content I just focus on being happy with the people who did comment instead of caring about the majority who do not.

Do two animals on the same picture (a cat and a bird) count twice?
edit
I forgot to draw your attention to the fact that the bird in this picture indeed wears some steampunk accessories.
Comment has been collapsed.
Clever imp.
I'll count it (once!), but just this one time. :)

Seems pretty damn fancy for me. (=^.^=)

I am not blacklisted (yet), but here is one steampunk bee, just in case. :D

Extra points for multiple pictures?

N-
Oh, my, those are sure stylish and fancy.
Okay. JUST THIS ONCE I'll count this one double :) :X
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not 100% sure why I entered your blacklist from your whitelist. But I do imagine I must have not commented when asked you possibly because I entered your giveaway without a comment due to being on my phone at work or something. But I shouldn't make excuses for myself sorry friend.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can guarantee you were never on my whitelist, since I haven't added anyone directly to it in 3-4 months, and you registered on the site past that. :P
It was a multi-group giveaway, you likely entered through one of the groups involved. :)
I can't actually unblacklist you until you've shown that you've read this thread properly, though. :(
(Hint: You're missing something.)
Comment has been collapsed.
You are correct it was more likely a multi-group and I'm relatively new here considering so hopefully you can forgive and I'll be more careful in the future :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Of course, nothing to forgive if it wasn't an intentional act of rudeness [like it's been clarified was for some small number. :/ ] :)

The event has ended!
Without reaching even 65% Fancyness, we've failed to attract the unbundled giveaway to this thread, and it has has relocated elsewhere. :(
~⁰ ・✧ Bundle Train! ✧ ・ﾟ ~
I hope you find the narrative entertaining, but there's certainly no obligation to read through it. :)
Enjoy the train!
In the spirit of the event, if you participate in the bundle train, additional Steampunk images in this thread would be welcomed. :)
The original thread post has been moved to the first reply of this thread. If you find you're blacklisted, and don't know why, you should take a quick look there!
