Since it is the Season of Giving, have you cleared your blacklist lately?
Mine's empty now apart from the guy who never delivered the game I won from him :D

Only have 2 on it, permanent, but sometimes passive aggressive (self named "sarcastic" and "funny") people makes me want to do otherwise, let see if something changes.
Comment has been collapsed.
The opposite if anything I'm afraid. :(
Haven't been on SG for a month or 2 until today, and had a completely empty blacklist for considerably longer, it's possibly up to a year or so ago when I emptied it. Then I went and read the "This looks like a great opportunity... Should I do it?" thread.
Comment has been collapsed.
There are probably only like 3-5 people in my BL that actually use the forum. Still, I just prefer to give games to people that actually activate what they win..
Comment has been collapsed.
Five months ago. I won't do it again, because since then I'm being very cautious/moderate in using my blacklist and even have a spreadsheet up to keep track of who I blacklist and why.
Comment has been collapsed.
I dont have a spreadsheet but there is a reason ppl are on my blacklist and its not only because I am not their opinion. So the reasons are only that they show bad behaviour, didnt activate gifts or stuff like that. So I wont clear my blacklist.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm pretty sure there's a script on here somewhere that allows you to write why you blacklisted someone
Comment has been collapsed.
There is. I don't use scripts for notes anymore, not reliable enough and can get wiped easily, as it once happened. Lots a bunch of labels I had set on various users.

For the sake of completeness (and shameless advertising): SG User Notes

99.96% of users on this site are not on my blacklist, so I don't see any urgent need to clear it. It's not like it would make any real difference to the number of people who enter my giveaways.
Comment has been collapsed.
So you're saying you have 384 and three-quarter users blacklisted?
Comment has been collapsed.
A tiny bit more, but I rounded up the percentage.
BTW, my whitelist is 2.05 times larger than my blacklist ;-)
Comment has been collapsed.
My whitelist/blacklist ratio used to be something like that until I cleared it entirely (and added a few more whitelists). Now I have 14.75x more whitelisted than blacklisted (or at least, I think - I'm bad at math). 235/16. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Just cleared it (except 3 people)
A new year is coming up so here's too second chances
Comment has been collapsed.
i have very few people on mine(20), people have to really get under my skin to end up there so i wont likely remove any of them from my list any time soon, unless there is some future positive interaction with them then it would be considered.

If someone is on my blacklist, it's because he really fu--up (just 2bl)
Comment has been collapsed.
jbondguy007's thread a few months ago encouraged me to almost completely clear mine. Since then, it's only increased to 3 total.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've removed one person ever from my BL, I don't blacklist without a damn good reason but its recently crept over the 30 mark so I may have to re-evaluate it soon! 'Tis the season after all!
Edit: I did accidentally blacklist a few people i removed tbf because browsing via my phone sucks!

Mine's empty, has always been empty and will always be empty :3

My blacklist is for weirdos who comment about how much they stalk people on the threads every chance they can.... creepy how much the keep track of them D:
Like Jesus... get a hobby or get laid...
So nah not ever removing them. I think 2/3 blacklist me back but I mean... I farm enough whitelists with my cheap AAAs that it doesn't even matter xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the problem is they did find a hobby, it's just a really creepy hobby.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah... I've only seen that one comment about cheap AAAs and something about stealing Civ 6 but I'm sure there are more. Sad really! But whatever tickles their creepy pickles!

I prefer to farm region only giveaways with my alts! :bbtcat: ##SGconspiracies

You know how you "only" give away AAA games that are "on sale" even though you don't? I've been thinking...
- Why don't you give away 2,000 bundle games to win literally 3 times the amount you have?
- Why don't you give away region restricted games and complain about anything anyone else does?
We all know that there is a RIGHT way of giving things away, you're doing it wrong, that's clearly the right way to farm whitelists! Duuuuh! :3
Comment has been collapsed.
It's crazy to think that maybe I really enjoyed the game and wanted to share it with someone else? I could have refunded the game but didn't! I'm even gifting the winner of my non-restricted giveaway with a nice steam gift because that changes the game completely!
Plus how crazy is it that 70% of my giveaways are non-bundled! And the leecher used to happily enter them! Two faced bitch!
Can I post a gif now because I have no personality?

Chack I stalk you all the time. You're my hobby :3

I actually didn't realise the extent of how bad it had actually gotten with the harassment until I've stumbled upon 2-3-4 incidents where we're mentioned completely out of the blue. Not to mention the total and utter lies and hypocrisy they are full of, don't giveaway AAA games that are discounted, on a thread that they are giving away triple A discounted games. Don't shit on events, even though they went out of their way to shit on events. Quoting Tutturu but completely not even understanding what it is and getting it hideously wrong.
It'd be scary if it wasn't done by the least intimidating group of people I think I've ever seen in my entire life. Instead, I actually feel pity they can't do one single thing without mentioning you or me, or trying to pass off a funny by literally(failing) to quote you or me.
The fact that talking about you or me gives them purpose is perhaps one of the saddest things I've seen in a long long time. The fact that they are saying the same dull shit, time and time again is boring to read now.
However, as I've said a number of times, the fact that they are doing it to me, means they aren't hounding others for doing things like SGTools, bundle threads or Liking Anime, whatever other thing they decided to hate. So yeah, as boring as it is, as sad as it is, at least they're leaving everyone else alone.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah honestly, is so bloody sad and creepy. Genuinely feel eyes on me with every comment/thread I post with judgmental eyes...
Like I was just casually reading about Civ and seen it and thought nothing of it. Its probably aimed at everyone. Then I seen more comments and it seemed more and more aimed towards us.
I honestly don't know how they have the energy to do it. I did it for a few minutes this morning and I already got bored after a few minutes. I'll give them it though, they had motivated and dedicated to the cause... I mean I love the attention like any other human, keep talking about me! Its fucking great! Like you said before, at least they are focused on us and not focused on great things like bundle threads and SGTools!
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah . All people who are in it deserves it one way or another. ( mostly consists of rule breakers )
Comment has been collapsed.
I only blacklist for serious things - if someone has earned a place on it, it's for what I consider to be a serious reason - being a racist/homophobe/plain ol prick might offend me, but that won't earn a place - actively bullying or harassing someone on the forums will.
I've been in a few ... ah... active debates with some people, but they are still ok to enter my giveaways.
But if you make my list, well... you're gunna stay there.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sums up my blacklist tbh, I've had some great debates which has lead to both sides whitelisting, there are reasonable people around.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't really use my blacklist so I don't bother :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Looking at some of the responses, "I don't use a blacklist" should have been an option.
Comment has been collapsed.
It won't ever happen, at least in the foreseeable future. However, I'm in the process of compiling a list with the reason why each specific user has been put into the list. Still there's a lot to be done, since I haven't even finished 10% of it
That being said, if the issues get rectified I'm happy to remove them, and I do it in the process of compiling the list.
Comment has been collapsed.
My BL is small enough that I know exactly why each is blacklisted.
I clear it regularly, but there are a handful of particularly "special" idiots who will stay until cg shuts down the servers. :3
I have them ignored on Sighery's script as well, to limit "contact stupidity" as much as possible.
Comment has been collapsed.
why should i clear my blacklist?
it's like asking the police to release all prisoners from jail because it's christmas.
or to be friends again with that guy that punched you in the face or shouted vulgar things at you.
and now comes the bunch of people that will say "i have no one in my bl, i'm awesome and positive unlike you!
yes, awesome because you make whitelist and group giveaways... wonder why.
Comment has been collapsed.
I feel like I'm being targeted with that edit. >_>
I actually had 31 people on my BL before this topic. Every single one of them people with a big fat $0.00 in their giveaway section but $1k or more in their "Won" section. I've never actually seen any rule breakers yet.

no, i didn't even check your profile. but there are some famous people on sg that claim they do that like they are saints.

you didn't finish your quote with a 2nd " NOOB! 😁 (mandatory smiley face in case people can't tell i am joking)

Well, here is tradition to release some few prisoners for good behaviour and who can incorporate to society again (obviously not severe crimes), on christmas and independence day.
Comment has been collapsed.
Those who have you blacklisted have probably done so in retaliation, back when you had them blacklisted. I can't think of any other reason why someone would blacklist you.
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought this might be an interesting discussion for the Spirit of the Season. Since it is that time of year, I've completely cleared my blacklist so that people may partake of any giveaways I make due to the Winter Sale.
