Aside from being scammed, what is the worst attitude that a certain SG user has shown to you? (Please remember to not drop names)

Mine is being harassed for "blacklisting" a certain individual.

Anyways, here is the mandatory GA: DK2oY

I had a winner of one of my giveaways tell me the game was a piece of garbage they only planned to idle it for cards. to be fair the game was a piece of garbage, but it was still rude to say that

lol But if it was true :D
Personally I refuse to take really crappy games into my library. So it's ok for me if someone can at least get something out of them, if just by idling. Of course we'd always rather hear something along the lines of: "Thank you so much, I've been wanting this game forever." But then again, we also don't want to be lied to ;) If it's a crap game it's a crap game. I'm happy to get any kind of thank you message at all.

there are other ways to say a game isn't exactly... awesome. xD
that just shows how rude some people are, i suppose they are like that in real life too (they probably get punched in the face a lot).

I never really had to many problems with people on sg. I have blacklisted people for not commenting on some of my giveaways (group, private, high level and whitelist) which I requested. I have always felt for those giveaways everyone should be leaving a comment since you usually have a lot better chances at winning than main public giveaways. I won't deny them the gift if they win though since I will always follow through with my giveaways.

Also looks like I'm blacklisted by you. No worries though.

I checked but you're not in my blacklist, sir. Level 8+ members will never be on my BL regardless of ratio.

Depending on their attitude, there might be exclusions though.

I was once BL by a couple of people for saying my opinion about homosexuality topic. I said that there was no point in sustaining or being against gay marriage, basically because it's none of our business. Everybody is free to do whatever he wants in his private life withing legality and respect of other people. That brought me to BL lol

Given the number of people threatening to blacklist each other on that topic, I wouldn't be surprised to have been blacklisted as well that day... I've blacklisted two people but only because they acted like children in the topic by reporting everyone not being of the same opinion.

Nothing directed at me that particularly upset me. There was one who left me fake negative feedback insulting me, but it was kind laughable. There was a beggar asking me for games but that was just fun. Can't really remember anything else. I'm a bit annoyed when winners don't thank, but not really much.
EDIT: oh, I forgot (bird-brain ^^"), I was badly disappointed and offended when somebody regifted my game. It was the first time it happened, at least when I noticed it right away and it was kinda a shock. I knew about regifters but it was the first time happening to me. It wasn't just a bundle game, but it still hurt.

Regifters are the worst.

For me that was multiple people joining all the steam group i was in, just to increase their chance to enter one of my semi private GA. And it actually worked because i was aware of this when i checked the winner's steam profiles.
I gave all the key ofc, though I blacklisted them.
I was really mad, but then i realized nothing was forbidding it. It was not a good spirit according to me :p
So i closed my public groups, tried to clean them, and eventually just made public GA or very private GA (for group with invite only).

But i think it's very personal: for instance i don't care if people enter for cards. I'm crafting badges myself. I just try not to enter a "big" GA if I don't want to play it. But i don't check if people activate the game or play it.

Question : how do you know someone's blacklisting you ?

you will only know if you try to enter that person GA - you will not be able to go to the GA page - you will get blacklist notification instead.

Telling if they whitelisted you is very similar to what zelghadis suggested, except you need to check it against a whitelist giveaway they created. I'll save you the bother and just tell you - I just added you to my whitelist :-)

I think this takes the prize as the worst attitude I have come across:
Gainja: what have you done with the games, I don't see them in your account?
winner: i give them to my bro
winner: he have good pc "can play them" he is new in steam
Gainja: why did you enter for the giveaways if you don't want the games for yourself?
winner: he buy for me
winner: grand theft auto complete pack
winner: :)
Gainja: It's a really shitty move
winner: why ?
winner: dude !! are serious?
winner: are u serious?
winner: u give me that game
winner: i get here for my self or give here
winner: to any one i like
Gainja: You really are an idiot
winner: !!
winner: go to hell dude !
winner: :D
winner is now Offline.

Although this might be nothing compared to incidents described here, there was that one user who left me -rep simply because his generic thanks comment caused me to think he was an automated bot or something, and then ignored all attempts I made to resolve the situation on my end during my GA for 4 copies of Unhack, if that counts. And yes, that -rep is still there.

One user showed racism not too long ago. If there's one thing I hate more than anything, it's racism. Where I grew up I was discriminated against and it really, really ticks me off. We need to show love and compassion to everyone, no matter the color of their skin. Period.

I haven't really any bad attitude. However, once while I was at my friend's, I got him to give away a cheap game, and the winner (who already owned it) stated that my friend "owes" him a game. Thankfully, the winner got rerolled.

So this guy walks into SG and he's all like "I lost levels! This site is scam! Gimme free games! Racist/Discriminative comment!". Except it's not just one guy, it's ten thousand guys. So the guys are doing the threads and the mod says "Hey, you're not allowed to do that!" except he's not really a mod, it's every sg user that uses the forums. So the guys get lot's of attention until a mod or support bans them. I forgot the punchline.

There's some people with an awful attitude in the forums, either it being enforcing their beliefs on you, racism, or the all high level superiority complex.
The good thing is that its easier to avoid them here then in real life.

As to people i had to deal with, nothing special as happened, there was this one dude that traded my game and several others, we had a conversation he treated me like i was an oblivious tool and tried to full me, and i was taking screenshots of the all conversation, including the part where he admits to have multiple accounts

There was also this one guy, who gave me a duplicate key, and ignores my attempts to contact him, i was new to the site and instead of marking it has not received i contacted indiegala, i barely had to explain the situation, those guys just sent me another key no questions asked, i will never do that again for anyone else.

and whoever gave me Fish Fillets 2, didn't actually gave me shit, i had i key lying around and activated the game. Again...i was new to the site and was trying to be nice

Wait, I take that back. I did have one winner refuse to activate a win. He ignored me when I politely told him the gift was visible in his inventory and to please activate it to his account. A few days later I posted a comment to his profile wall (just in case he didn't check his email) and said the same thing. He deleted the comment within an hour and then posted the gift he won in the trades section. :(

Although, not being able to try games before buying was something steam was lacking, thankfully we have refunds now.
Idk but i think if a had a weak pc i would probably say it was viable option, of course that isn't the case with our Pirate friend
now that i think about it, its probably a waste of time these days and cracks usually make games run like crap.

I blacklisted someone that won't move on and harasses me in ways I can't even discuss in public for multiple reason. For some reason they think they are entitled to an explanation, but because of actions after blacklisting which showed more of the same and in some cases worse behavior, I have no desire for further communication.

I hope they can just leave it be and be done with it. :-/

My story sounds very similar, but from the other side. I was blacklisted by someone without a given reason, and was blocked on Steam when I tried to discuss it with them. I eventually decided to just ignore the blacklisting altogether and be polite and kind to the person. I would bump their threads even when I can't participate, and I try to be helpful wherever I can without being harassing. But even when I go out of my way to try to be nice to them (such as pointing out a mistake I thought they might have made, and adding a mildly interesting factoid to the post to make it clear that the message wasn't intended to be hostile), this person attacks me for no apparent reason.

To be honest, both sides of the story remind me of the idea of actor-observer bias. The person attacking me perhaps honestly doesn't feel as though he or she is attacking me, and the person that you feel is harassing you honestly doesn't believe that what he or she is doing is harassment. Perhaps that person just wants to make things better in whatever way they know how.

I hope your situation improves with that person.
