how about people doing what they want with games they paid for with their own money?

I mean, you're not wrong when you say that SG is fucked up. That bit, I can agree with.
The rest of your comment, though... With an attitude like that, I don't think the reason for blacklists is your nickname :D

Well, they don't need to blacklist you for being a "low rank." All they have to do is make giveaways level 2 and above.
I think you've been blacklisted for your winning personality to be honest. You enter for games, win them and then call them trash. That's rude. lol. You have 100% control over what kind of giveaways that you enter, and 100 blacklists is not that many.
How many people have blacklisted you since making this thread? I haven't bothered to do that, but I am curious. XD.

Blacklist is controversial, they can't enter my giveaways if they BL me so who cares? They can do whatever they want, this is a free world. Just because there are haters whose jumping on every single thing, that not means, that I need to be the same. I prefer to spend my life while being happy and smiling instead of dying at age 30-50 to brain bleeding because of all the rage.

Lots of strong people on this website
idk, these don't strike like the kind of people that have a gym membership

New users when they discover they've been blacklisted 100 times (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Later when they remember SG has 1000000+ users and complaining about it will only net them more BLs ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)
:P

Nah at this point I think we are all missing something. There's clearly some underground work going on we are all missing. All these threads about bl and simple faq questions clearly are in on something that the rest of dont get. So we are all here joking or getting annoyed about it but secretly they are gathering together to laugh at how foolish we are

1M accounts, but I'd bet that there are not even 100k people who are visiting (and using) the site on the weekly basis. And even fewer knowing /bothering about blacklisting because not being present on the forums, not knowing how it works, or not caring about it because they don't give anything.

I got you blacklisted, don't remember why but i don't do it for silly stuff like names, nor take it lightly, so you must have done something good, maybe look back and look at your behaviour. Also you gift a lot (only) of free games, which might irk some people.
Just don't blame it on some nonsense.
Also claim to just win 2d trash games, why enter then?

Was it because of your nickname that you got banned...? Or because of your nigh-infinite charm, on full display here...

When just you nickname makes your blacklists +40
don't blame your name, but your attitude ^^

we're getting into r/iamverybadass territory lol
Must have some insecurities that you immediately has to jump to conclusions like only pussies blacklist you for your charming personality and shitposting.

Mhh, you gonna need to be a tad more specific, plenty of folk around here comment in every other thread XD

Haven't you recently started doing that? :D
I mean, I'm not calling you out, just saying that you're commenting on nearly every thread now too. As am I, as are many. No shame in that!

On a sidenote, mentioning "nickname" made me think of a nice feature that'd be nice to add to SG. If you could add a tiny note to your blacklists on SG. So you can keep track of why they're on there/what they did. Cause i've had people on my blacklist for the life of me I couldn't remember why they're there. I took them off because I don't really like the idea of keeping people on there if I didn't even know what they did (because who knows, maybe I was being petty or had a crap reason at the time and they don't deserve it.)
This probably will never get added, especially with SG on the decline and with the endless boatloads of work the staff have to work on, especially being volunteers. Something like that is the backiest of the backburner. But still, a though. I MUST ADD SUBSTANCE TO THIS THREAD.

Pretty sure I've saw someone comment at some point than that was a function in one of the scripts/complements going around, not 100% sure tho because I don't use scripts.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can use a script if you'd really like that feature. SG++ and ESGST both include it.

It feels kind of weird knowing that i've been a avid SG user for 5 years, 6 in a few months. And I still haven't used SG+
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not real big on scripts myself. I use ESGST, but only use 4-5 features out of the 100+ it offers.
Ain't nobody got time for all that.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't use scripts at all on any site. If they were really features that were necessary, they'd have been implemented earlier. Like for example, BL's and WL's are really only options that were added as convenience for users, not as a main feature.
Comment has been collapsed.
You are right about them not giving anything that is a necessity.
Though I prefer my convenience over what a site owner thinks being necessary when the forums are openly ignored in favour or giveaway-system because this is a giveaway-site. Simple things like SG linkies adding extra options to the dropdown menu make a lot of convoluted navigation simpler, as it should be
. Just like having clothes is a necessity, but I prefer them to be comfortable too.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not one for running scripts either. Prefer just keeping things vanilla. There are already so many things I need to manage, I don't need to add to it.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you would ever use a single script (rather add-on) I would recommend SGlinkies. All it does that it adds extra options to the header's menus - reaching my hidden games in two clicks versus navigating to giveaways, clicking gear, scrolling down, clicking on the list. TBH things like this should have been implemented to the site already.
SGST has some great things ( fixed header and sidebar, and reply-from-inbox is my go-to things) but I can understand someone doesn't want to scroll through ~ hundred options and check/try what they want to use. But at least getting past that it becomes pretty simple.

ESGST lets you add user notes - I use it to note why I whitelist or blacklist people. Fortunately, I've done a lot of the former and very rarely the latter.

+1
And I really don't want to rely on addons since Firefox already demonstrated they can screw those up randomly.

Why would people blacklist you because of your nickname? Might be wrong but I doubt that's the reason.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sometimes the reason behind a blacklist might not be so obvious.I got blacklisted once because I made 4 giveaways for Mine Royale.
The reason?One guy thought that I was the developer wanted to abuse the system since the game got from 4$ to 150$ one day after I made the giveaways.
The good part is that I talked with the person and after some explanation the situation was resolved :D.
On the other hand I think that 40+blacklist may not be that much since out of so many users there is no way there is isn't going to be at least a small portion of them with a reason that is only valid to them.

Blacklisted for making thread about blacklists xD

But why do you think your nickname would lead to blacklist? Doesn't it simply mean "mad chicken"?

Hey guys, I'm late to the party.
What's going on in this thread?
Comment has been collapsed.
Drama that only like 3 people are aware of and the rest are randomly chiming in since who really cares :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I recommend you stop caring so much. People have the right to blacklist whoever and whenever they want.
Most of the time the reason's pretty cringe, but that's for you to decide and that's their right. If a person talks to you and you say something they don't like and they blacklist you, then fine, whatever. They're the ones that are intellectually dishonest to themselves and they're the ones being so cringeworthy. If a person thinks your giveaways are terrible, then that's their thought process and they have the right to make such an ironic idea that's basically fueled with ego. Let them be that unlikable kid in elementary school who thinks he's better than others because his mom bought him a new Xbox.
Main point, just care less. You're just stressing yourself out and you're letting them get to your head while at the same time they already forgot about you 10 minutes after blacklisting you.
I personally don't blacklist anyone and I don't let others blacklists bother me much. If I find out someone's blacklisted me and is talking to me, I just talk to them like a normal person. They're not a villain or some unreasonable person. We're all heroes in the story of our own life and they had a reason to do what they do. It's fine.
For example, there's this one user on this site who often comments on the forums as well who hasn't given anything away for like over a quarter of a decade now and yet he still blacklisted me. I mean, there's no way I suffer for it and instead he just restricted his access to my giveaways. I mean, I gotta give it to him, he's determined. He's got a short temper and a bit of an ego, but who doesn't, so I just let him do his thing :D
Just chill out and smell the roses :)
