I have an idea: What if you combine the number of slots for both whitelist and blacklist, so people can use the total how they want to use it? If someone uses whitelist more, then they do need less slots for blacklist and vice versa.
And I can double the number of my blacklist slots as I do not have anyone in my whitelist. \o/.

Are we rebumping this? But a week was like a lifetime ago :o Also I only have 4 BLs and one of those is perm suspended so nah. You have to be really naughty to get on my list c;

Guess it might be time to prioritize which ones you really need to blacklist or start adding more checks under the SGTools giveaways more, lol.
Sorry, but if I had 1000+ to blacklist, I think I would have to start rethinking when I am blacklisting so much.

3 suggestions😇 :
Have a number of slots according to the level
Level 0 0 slot
Level 1 25 slots
Level 2 50 slots
Level 3 100 slots
Level 4 250 slots
Level 5 500 slots
Level 6 1000 slots
Level 7 2000 slots
Level 8 3000 slots
Level 9 5000 slots
Level 10 unlimited
Have a number of slots according to the global number of users (1% ~ 10 000 slots now)
Have a number of slots unlimited but cost 1P for 1slot

Slots according to level would be just one more thing to worry that I wasn't trying hard enough at. 5,000 slots and only blacklisting people like a level 4 peasant?

Who told you that I want to blacklist everyone who is level 0 and I don't want to include people who haven't logged in for 2 years? Or otherwise? Lol. It's my blacklist and it's my reasons. And why do you even care?
Whatever. I'm really tired of this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol. I've just found an old excel file that I'd been keeping the reasons of why I did blacklist these people. (Not many, about 30-40 people only.) The idea was I could remove some of them but instead I wanted to add back the ones I've removed before - and I couldn't. ;_;.

Ratio, maybe? Also, some people take issue with that giveaway site of yours (if you're still running it) ;)

Or you could just, you know, not blacklist everyone you encounter on this site ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean that's a valid suggestion...
My is constantly full.
Luckily some of them just get permanent banned so I free few slots every now and then
Like the amount of users now ,compared to when the number was put in place ....
I guess getting 1k extra slots is not such a bad idea :)
also hello to the 4 guys who felt the need to bl me cause that reply ... , Another reason I need more slots lol

It doesn't include every criteria I need. Also, it's unusuable for group and public giveaways. Even if all of these can be solved, a criteria means that I need to disallow everybody who doesn't meet required qualifications which I do not want.
Comment has been collapsed.
The group or public giveaway limitations I can understand.
But the part where you are disallowing everyone who doesn't meet the required qualifications, you are already doing that with the blacklist as you are already disallowing them for arbitrary reasons to fill it up with 1,000 people. Quite literally, you are using the blacklist to handle would could easily be done with a SGTools giveaway.

I'm not blacklisting everyone in range of my sight. There are another 974,540 people over there and I'm not even trying to blacklist majority of them.
I'm not trying anything. If you don't like me, I don't care, because I don't know you. But I'm not hateful. If I was hateful, I would hate everybody other than people I like personally and I'd give them only rather than trying to give those I do not know.

Yeah but I mean the way blacklists work ,it's his right to do so .
I blacklist ppl for poor ratio ... Like really poor .
Regifters and ppl who don't activate their wins .
And even some of the annoying spammers that use scripts to join gas and don't even visit the site
I still Wana giveaway stuff to public , but it's becoming more and more often when I regret sending the key to the winner
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah ... How ?
I gotta do sgtools giveaways? Make groups and add ppl in the or what ?
I Wana make a opengiveaway and give some games no normal ppl .
Sadly there are many who just abuse the site to get +1 in library or proftizzzzz from cards .
I Wana press a button and forget about them entering my giveaways , not having to think of workaround to prevent them from entering them .
OP is giving valid arguments but ppl are putting g their own biased opinions as if that's the only correct one
Comment has been collapsed.
Without sgtools you simply make lvl 4+ giveaways, where total amount of people with bad ratio and rulebrakers is little to no, because people know how to use the website already, and what to expect when u make a giveaway, because they actually gift themself. If u want to use sgtools u can cut that amount of people in half without even using bl.

Are you having troubles with what you read? I'm not a charity organization which I can't decide what to do with money whose other people donated. Also, if you really think steamgifts is a charity, then I do not have anything to talk to you.
Btw, I was going to blacklist you too before for other reasons (I do not blacklist people for having different opinions but teasing maybe.), but now you're going in my list, you went higher on my priority as Fugus recommended before. Will not reply anymore, you can play as long as you want. And don't tell me I will be blacklisted too or not, I simply don't care.

You still did not answered what are you. Gifting gifts to random people, what are you? A businessman?
Btw, I was going to blacklist you too before for other reasons
Let me guess you was about to blacklist me but oops, you only have 1000 blacklist slots. That's a pity

What's more hilarious
You say
https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/qRyAc0u
If I don't know someone whom I don't want to blacklist after, I want them in rather than just exclude them.
You say here that you want everyone who is not blacklisted in your giveaway and then u say
Why do I want to give everybody?
Lmao, you are the definition of hypocrite
Comment has been collapsed.
Everybody means everyone including those I blacklisted. You really have some trouble with understanding what you've read or you don't know english very well.
Oh, yes. I'm a hypocrite now! Because I said I will not reply anymore but look! I did!

Here ya go, you want to actually fix what you consider to be a problem instead of kicking the can down the street and adding much unneeded server issues in the long run.
there ya go.

Without using sgtools ? Yup easily.
Here is an example .
I made a lvl 5 GA for a dlc , i specifically bold text all caps big letters asked do not enter if you already own that please , j do not want to have to reroll it .
I did that cause i had issues with it couple weeks ago .
Guess what .37 entries, every single one had won the exact same dlc over a week ago
Some of the 2-3 times marking all as received .
1 but had won it 11 times in total marking every single one as received . He got permanent banned after i reported him .
So u had to delete that GA , and lose a GA slot.
So that's 36 entries to my blacklist all lvl 5+ .
1k is hard to reach ? Not rly .,.

Congrats on getting that one guy banned, he deserved it for that crap. You would think the site would stop letting you enter them after you had already won one but guess not. Definitely a new feature worth implementing.
Crap, didn't realize it got that bad when it came to the DLC's. Still think the better option would be to have the site automatically not allow you to win the same item more than once than a 5000+ blacklist.
With that situation, I could see a 1000+ blacklist but still see the blacklist as a band-aid fix at best when better options are available.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, did the same.
I agree using what we have at our disposal. My issue with this suggestion was that it wasn't making anything better, it was just making the bandaid longer instead of implementing a fix.
The 2 biggest fixes they could implement would be to have the site auto-exclude you from any giveaway you have already won and confirmed you received and the ability to filter giveaways by ratio instead of just level, that alone would fix probably 90% of the reasons most people even use the blacklists.

It still comes down to you avoiding using the tools available to you.
For you to have over 1000 people on your blacklist you have to be blacklisting due to ratio which even 10,000+ slot wouldn't be enough for your blacklist and the SGTools would be just fine for that purpose.
If you blacklisted due to breaking rules, SGTools would handle that too.
If you are blacklisting due to attitudes, you wouldn't break 1,000 people realistically.
If you are blacklisting due to treating asking about Blacklisting like talking about Fight Club, it would be retarded on your part and still not get you near 1000+ blacklists.
Ask yourself how all these people got onto the blacklist and then ask yourself if the SGTools giveaway wouldn't handle those for you anyways.
Comment has been collapsed.
Or just ask yourself how many blacklist slots ware in place when the site opened ,and how many users it had ...
Blacklist slot is the same , use count went a little bit up.
Forcing ppl to make sgtools giveaway is not really a solution .
Realistically adding extra slots proportional to the user growth is.
Comment has been collapsed.
Or just make a new option and actually allow giveaways to be limited not only by level but by ratio and solve the problem entirely without having to deal with blacklists and a bunch of thin skins who want to blacklist everything in site.
You are asking for the wrong solution. You shouldn't be asking to increase the blacklist cap, you should be asking to add a new option under the "Create Giveaway" settings that allow you to limit not only by level, group, or region, but one that would also allow you to limit by ratio.
Comment has been collapsed.
Adding bunch more blacklist slots seems much easier tho .
There are close to a million accounts and 1k slots which is 0.1% ....
You don't need to be hatefull or anything to fill that in .
And way using sgtools solves the problem in most cases , but those giveaways get entries mostly from the forum hermits anyway ...
If you Wana make a public GiB. But limit lists say 2 3k ppl , I don't fly think you are hatful ..
Comment has been collapsed.
Adding more blacklist slots also adds more the server has to deal with especially with all the guys trying to get 5000+ blacklists for anyone who dares to offend their sensibilities. Didn't the server just have to go down for a while while they cleaned up stuff because of site was getting too backlogged with stuff?
You don't have to be hateful to fill 1000 blacklists, you have to be petty to do it or been on here for years and a forum hermit who repeatedly gets offended enough to do it legitimately.
If you want to make a public giveaway, just put level requirements on it because I doubt too many are going to be killing the ratios with a high level.
Comment has been collapsed.
Now that would be hilarious to see. So far I have found myself on 95 different blacklists and even make a game of trying to find out who else has blacklisted me when I get REALLY bored and just scan the forums checking profiles till I find one and haven't failed to do so yet. Almost all of them I have no clue who they are and never talked to them directly.
So the only reasons to have really blacklisted me was either from my ratio or because I asked about blacklists on 2 separate occasions as I think I have only had any actual arguments on here maybe twice to three times total the entire time I have been here. To actually force them to actually ration their blacklists to actual reasons would be funny.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know the feeling. I kept on hitting the cap awhile ago and I was tired of filtering through it and removing those who were inactive and banned. I just ended up purging the whole thing in the end. I gate most of my good gibs behind whitelist/groups anyways, which is what I recommend in a situation like this. Not ideal, but I doubt Cg plans on upping the cap anytime soon (and he tends to move slower than Valve on most things anyways :/).
Would be nice to have more space though.
