Hey guys, so I won a giveaway 3 days ago and the key was a duplicate. Was going to post in the giveaway but got blacklisted after only a couple days. Since I'm kinda new, I would like to know what's the appropriate thing to do here. Add him/her on Steam and try to message, wait a few more days and mark as not received, or is there anything else I'm supposed to do?
Thank you for the support.

Add on steam is clearest option. Or stalk some old thread...

If no contact just mark not received.

You can try to add the user on Steam, but my guess is that he/she will not accept as you have been blacklisted already. Can you post on their Steam wall?

If the user does not provide you with a valid key (or gift copy) mark the giveaway as "not received" after 7 days and move on.

All you "need" to do is activate the game that they send to you in 7 days. The blacklist makes it sound like they know about the dupe key, so I would say just wait until the 7 days pass and mark it as not received.

Happened to me when I first joined. You can try to communicate via steam. You could if you were naughty use a script you circumvent hus block. My advice would be to ignore it and not let it bother. Especially now 2 way black lists are active.

mark as not received after 7 days, and forget about it. ^^
he will probably ignore your invite if he blacklisted you.

Violence might not solve everything, but it sure makes a great breakfast!

If you need to get in contact with a GA creator who has expressed a desire to not have contact with you, put in an Other ticket and ask staff do it for you. This also brings staff up to date on the situation, covering your own bases in the matter. Contacting a GA creator on Steam without invitation is generally considered rude, and may only aggravate any negativity involved in the matter.

wait a few more days and mark as not received,

Mark not received after 7 days, return the (BL) favor and move on. ;-)

What you are experiencing is not uncommon on SG.
