Since I use my blacklist to primarily to block those who have won one of my giveaways and they have a giveaway ratio of 2.5 to 1 or higher. I have since started to do a few things:
First, I now note on my giveaways that if someone does have a bad ratio of giveaways won to given away, that if they do win, they, there is a chance they might be blacklisted. Most of my giveaways are low level. I want to have an increased chance for those who do not have the means to buy or giveaway many games for them to win and benefit from the generosity of the SG community.
Every few months, check the list. If someone's ratio has improved. I remove them and then drop them a message that I have done so due to their change in ratio. It is worth it to complement someone on their increased generosity and move away from being a leecher..
I do all of this with the intention of encouraging and promoting those who do pay it forward.

First off, I do not have the time to get drawn into a lengthy debate, especially with everything that's on my plate right now, so don't expect me to participate much in a discussion, but by all means do so amongst yourselves and feel free to express your opinion and point of view.
That said, I do not understand why certain folks on here are so hung up on the concept of ratios and blacklisting others for this reason and no other (we are not talking about breaking rules mind you). I mean why do you think people were attracted here in the first place? "Oh cool, a site where you can go and have a chance to win free games? Sign me up!" Right? Is that not the general thinking of the masses upon discovering it? Why did they flock here in the first place if not to win games? So why should they be hastily begrudged for that?? Look, I get it. Nobody likes a total leecher that never (or almost never) gives back. But also consider this: That people give back when they can and what they can within their means, and not how or when you may think they should as if you somehow knew the details of their life and could fairly judge them.
Listen, I'm not trying to tell anyone what they can or can't do with their own blacklist. I believe that they have the right to do with it as they please. But I also believe in someone's right to be of the opinion that the sort of rationale presented here is both petty and short-sighted and that there are some people on here that are ridiculously self-righteous, full of themselves as if their shit smells like roses and doesn't stink., and need to hop off their high freaking horse and pull that stick out from their all-too-tight anal sphincter that is clearly bothering them.
So that's it in a nutshell. Agree or disagree, it's entirely up to you. All that I ask is that if you are someone who blacklists others based on what to me seems like this draconian concept of ratios, that you kindly do not enter any giveaways that I may post and treat them with the same kind of respect that you no doubt would want and expect for your own and your wishes for them.
So without further ado, some giveaways of games from the Indie Gala Majesco bundle:
