I don't have a blacklist and never considered one, until today. Is it wrong to blacklist everyone who has listed the free DLC ^_^

I say yes.

Also, special rules apply in private/public GA's but only if approved by a MOD.

There can't be any special rules in public GA, AFAIK.

You can't have special rules on public giveaways, the mods said they couldn't handle so much tickets regarding public giveaways.

Rules / blacklists on public giveaways were never allowed. If you come across that, you should report it to support immediately.

You need permission from support in order to have a blacklist.

Quick question about that. If you want to use a blacklist, do you have to get approval from support every time you wish to use it in a private/group giveaway?

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

nope, once your BL is approved you may use it anytime you want (in non-public GAs)

What zelghadis said. You only need one permission per blacklist / specific rule.

You can put whoever you want in your blacklist, but you must send a ticket to support to be allowed to use your blacklist. Once it's approved, you can put it in all the giveaways you do.

Not all, just small groups and private giveaways.

I think if he were to go out head hunting for everyone who made a DLC giveaway it would be much more than just 100 people. Not saying that blacklisting 100 people in 2 days isn't impressive. XD

Nope, blacklist is blacklist, it's a list of people, not of requirements, what you mention would be a giveaway rule/requirement, and I doubt support would allow such rule/requirement.

I don't like the whole idea of maintaining a blacklist. If you want to restrict who can or cannot enter a giveaway, just make it a private/group giveaway and only invite the people you like.

I'm not too bothered since I'm not on anyone's blacklist, but it seems a bit juvenile to exclude specific people. If they break the rules they get banned, if they don't then leave them be. There are plenty of people in the community that I personally don't like, but I'm not going to ban them from having a fair chance in my giveaways.

if ppl break rules they got suspended they wait through suspension and come back to SG. Blacklist is a way we can "ban" such ppl from our non-public GAs forever.

For example let's say I did report few ppl cheating on my puzzles in the past, they got suspended, but their suspension ended and now they're back to SG. If someone tried to cheat me once I personally don't want him to enter any of my GAs ever again.

Except if they got suspended they already got punished. It doesn't make sense to punish someone twice for the same misstep. It's like standing outside a prison, catching people that finished their sentence and were released, and locking them up the in the trunk of your car. They did their time, there's no need to add your own personal punishment to that.

I'm not saying you can't do it, because if your blacklist is approved by the mods it's obviously within the rules. I'm just saying I don't like it.

Sure, so if your store was robbed by someone you would still welcome him to your store after he served his prison sentence?

I have only three people in my blacklist, one for being a general dick, another one for sharing answers of a puzzle I did (I didn't know you could report that at that time, maybe I should take him out of the blacklist) and the third one is a winner of my first giveaway where I actually put some money into the game, he won, ignored my friend request on steam, and ignored my email with the gift, he had won lots of games in the site and he hadn't played any of them so when I thought I would be able to ask for a reroll, he activated the gift on the sixth day and didn't bother to say thanks at all. Do you think I would want that guy to win another of my giveaways?

What? wouldn't it be awesome to make Skyrim giveaway with 25 copies and all those people who come wishing for it would just see themselves in the blacklist. And the best part is that it would have zero entries so the chance to get free Skyrim will be so close yet so far. :)

Ahhh~ I'm so evil. :D

If you get the rule "winner has to be registered on SG for more than 1 month" approved by mods, you could be on the safe side.

On a side note: this is all getting highly hypothetical.

In my opinion the people who gave away a single copy of that DLC weren't really doing anything wrong. Giving away multiple copies is a step too far though.
