Guys, what criteria do you use to create your whitelist? At the moment I only use a blacklist to block those who earn one of my GAs and it has a very bad ratio, for example.

PS: This is my first SGTools GA. I hope it works. Please bump this topic and good luck to all.

I whitelist people who are nice in conversation, extremely generous or they make a really good point on discussion threads, but usually its just the first two :P

I have few people on my whitelist, haven't made a whitelist-only giveaway yet. I add people if they are polite and helpful, and have a clean profile and, overall, if I want to. I don't care for ratio.
Didn't pass the sgtools check unfortunately, thank you anyway for the awesome giveaway!

Thanks a lot for your comment. I'm sorry you have been out this time, but next time I will be in a less rigid (I'm still learning how to use this tool). Thanks for the kind words.

Anyone with more than $1000 given gets in for sure. I have a thread with other ways to get it. (Won't link, cuz that seems like Self-Promotion (Which I don't like))

But I do remove people who don't post GA's or even comments for an extended period of time.

i have a weird criteria, which basically boils down to people who are a certain lvl, who give more games then they receive, and don't irritate me. People who make me laugh, also get on my list. Though I have kept people there who are giving away games every month.

Basically, you keep around active and seemingly nice people. I think the same. I would use a similar criterion. Thank you for sharing with us your opinion!

I'm not convinced that it is something very useful. BL is more useful, in my opinion only. :D

I'm like most others here, my whitelist is for nice, kind and helpful people. Or for people who engaged in a good debate (not necessarily sharing my opinion, but providing smart arguments that granted new insights).

I'd never ever create lists based on any ratio btw. If necessary I could use sgtools for that. And besides the most extreme leechers who never gave away anything, I wouldn't want to judge what other people can afford to share. So SG's level system is good enough to cover my needs there.
But I won't judge people either, who use lists for CV / ratio purposes. ;)

I understand what you mean. Not everyone wants to maintain a good ratio. Some can not invest in it. But they are interesting people and sometimes legal. This type of value seems to have "increased brightness" before the other. I will reflect on. Thank you for your opinion.

I whitelist people that actually comment on my GAs with interesting stuff, be it a gif/pic or other interaction, and/or generally nice/fun people. I didnt blacklist anyone yet and hope I wont ever have to (youd need to do something really bad to get on there)

Thank you for your opinion. It seems very reasonable. I am sorry for your access to this GA is blocked. Perhaps I have created a very strict rule. I will consider it next time.

If someone humbler win this game here, I'll be satisfied. Usually those who can not give away too many games, too, can not buy a game like this. I will certainly ease the rules next time. Sorry.... and thank you for sharing with us your opinion.

I have no real concept behind it. I every now and than add someone when I see a profile with very good ratio or people wich did something useful for the community (like the archivement sheet recently posted for example) or someone is really nice. Short said I just add who I feel like should be added.

I care about it not getting to full though because I don't want to decrease the winning chances of the GAs for thr groups I'm in to much

I whitelist people who stand out, in a good way. People who change their avatars or have relatively generic avatars are at a disadvantage here, because I tend to remember those and not peoples names.
I'll consider removing people from my WL if they either stop doing what they did to get WLd in the first place, or in case they've won a boatload of games in a short period of time (does not mean I dislike the person who I removed, I just want to make sure that the games I give have a chance to get played. And no, I don't expect everyone to play every game they win).

I like implausible motives better:

  • Saved my life once
  • Has almost the exact name and Steampicture as me
  • Knows things that will happen in my future (that actually come true)
  • Loves me
  • ...

That's quite alright, I don't think anyone expects you to respond to everyone. No need to apologize, I'm used to getting ignored (joking :p). I just know there's a person just waiting to save my life out there. I don't really believe in black- or white listing, I just amused myself by thinking up implausible reasons to whitelist someone :D

I think the risk in people idealize or create "Homeric reason" is to let good opportunities pass. Perhaps the greatest heroes we need to be ourselves! Limited to the SG, someone who does not draws AAA games can not have a condition not to buy for himself, but is careful to keep know good ratio. This is very interesting, is not it? Anyway, also thank you for your kind words. (And yes I replied to all, so far...) :)

I think I'm one of the few people who doesn't mind passing up good opportunities to get games. I don't care about my ratio or getting blacklisted, in the end it's just a video game. But I appreciate every game I do win. I think I hold a different opinion about SG than most, but I understand why most people do care about white/black listing and their ratio's and that's fine. You seem like a friendly guy, hopefully you'll get on many whitelists ;)

Sign in WL is not my intention here. In fact I won BL users who probably did not pass the filters. this is sad ... These people are very selfish! I'm going to avoid creating posts here for a while. Best stay "below the radar". These people may need to leave a bit of the PC. Anyway, thanks for your kind words.
