What do you WL people for?
there is i no specific factor for my white-listing but here are a few.
helpful and polite people
funny people
people with similar interests and if someone white-list me i will always white-list back if i know i am on their white-list that is.
these are just some but it can be anything or nothing sometimes it just feels right to press the blue-heart button.
an actual white-list criteria is an interesting concept to think about.

I whitelist users for a viariety of reasons:
comments / threads they posted, ratio, playing their games, groups / interests of them, activity they show, making puzzles I enjoyed and 'conversations' we had
Ob ich ein Kandidat fรผr Deine WL bin, musst du fรผr Dich selbst entscheiden.

My ๐'s aren't really reserved for anything special. I haven't done any real WL or group giveaway's but have been mainly adding people as courtesy for them adding me. Maybe I have something special planned months down the line, maybe I don't.
tl;dr if you genuinely made me laugh from a comment/joke, if I think you're an awesome human being (hard to judge from text on the internet), or if you are just lucky enough for me being in a good mood (which is a lot).

I WL people with a good ratio (at least as many sent games as they have won). You have a great ratio OP, I'm WL you. :)

I already own Beholder, although I haven't had time to get to it just yet, but I wouldn't mind getting on your WL :P
I WL people mostly for exemplary behavior, thus even giving way more than winning falls into that category. Welcome to mine.
Just being polite can also help a person get on my WL... And yes, the peeps I won games from, of course.

I have a very short WL for now 5. Most are encounters where we had a friendly conversation or generous individuals. As for generous individuals they are more generous than I am. I am only giving out bundled games now. Hopefully something different in future. I haven't found a gift I deem worthy for WL, when I do I will expand my list mostly with those that WL me.
I do not use SG tools so its only Lvl restrictions, if those of my WL wish to enter they could. My time here isn't that long, there is still much to learn. Also another way to think about it is how not to get blacklisted. Most of my blacklist which is slightly more than my WL is 6. Most of them are permanently suspended by now except for one. Individuals I see with highly suspicious activity like fake/false giveaways. If you are not blacklisted, my Gifts are always open for you. ;)
Warmest Regards, Cruse~

I was quite shy about whitelisting initially, and now it's exploding, oops. But like you I'm also learning! And as far as BL goes, I've seen many reasons for it, from simple to oddly complicated. With so many people around there's just no telling what upsets people sometimes.

At the moment as I mentioned, I do not really have a "good" gift for WL. If I deem one good enough, I'll start coming up with a list. People you have conversation are the hardest to remember. I actually have a small list and a reason beside why I WL or BL that person. Most of the time I could recall but I cant rely on my potato brain hahaha
If i wanted to WL anyone that had WL me, I will check the WL group or persons I think may had WL me for various reasons may in a thread etc. Tedious but a small price for my WL. :)
I am not learning about why others BL me as of now, I am only in 1 BL. However, my BL is simple, the community is generous here, do not come out with a scheme to scam others by pretending to make a false gift. Don't do that. There are plenty of non-restricted giveaways. There are also many gifters not looking to get anything back thus they did not set any restrictions.
I actually came across a case where an invite only gift with a new game giveaway costing 50P potentially high CV. There was a winner but when you check the winner, they did not have the game in their library but marked it as activated, I reported it and they are now suspended. I BL then in the small chance they might make their way back on SG but that's just a small possibility. Thus if you end up on my BL, your days on SG probably isn't going to be long.
I do not want to think much about it. I've found one of my blacklister before but perhaps I was still new and made mistakes, neither did he remember what's the reason as I try to conduct myself to be as courteous as possible and as close as what I am in real life. :) In the recent Community Train, I have yet to find my only elusive blacklister.
Cheers~

good idea with the list, i really should but right now my whitelist contains only those who have wl me or everyone pretty much knows them for helping around the community. i dont have bl right now cuz i cleaned it out for the train and most of them was when i started so most of them werent even active for months. i dont see myself doing any invite giveaways anytime soon but it wouldnt actually hurt to keep note incase i ever do. Also ive been seeing you around alot lately that I didnt except you to be just 3 months on this. youve almost done more comments then me since i only just started getting really active in discussions mainly because of that train and thats with my upcoming 3 years (-1 cuz no internet for a year)

Yes, at times, I can be very "talkative" which was written in my primary report cards. Mainly, I look into topics that have some interest in and reply. Alot of them are also Thank you(s) on the giveaways but I usually do not do generic Thank you(s). In most conversations I tend to be the last to finish off the convo as personally, I feel its a way of being courteous. I also believe, I have quite a broad range of interest and topics I can get into. Problem is sometimes you get no replies but when you do, you get alot and then I suddenly lost the urge to make replies as I am low in "energy". Wanted to reply more but most of the time I sacrificed game time to reply and I did not log on Steam for more than a week to engage in conversations. Its not that I do not enjoy them but you have to sacrifice/replace 1 act for the other.
Sorry for the late reply, Have a great day ahead, Cruse :)

No idea if you think i'm blueheart material... but one can hope ;)
Here's what I use, when whitelisting. (feel free to steal my reasons)
Comment has been collapsed.
I've given ๐s to people for all those reasons, plus when I started here last year, I whitelisted a bunch of people for leaving nice comments on my early threads and giveaways, since they made me feel welcome ๐
ย
As for being a good ๐ candidate myself... ๐ค well I do plan to play all almost all of my past wins, and for a while now I only try and win games I actually want to play ๐
Comment has been collapsed.
True, true, initially I put points into everything interesting, now I'm a bit more picky to make sure that what I win is something I'd play.
That said, the ones I do play, I do also review sooner or later. Although I also have a bit of a review backlog by now oops.
Comment has been collapsed.
I whitelist people who are friendly/nice/cool/funny/... persons. This covers users who did a lot for the community (e.g. giving away community-wishlisted games); users who have interesting, thoughtful discussions without hating on other people's opinions; users I can have a nice conversation with; users who make me laugh... or users that have a 98 % average game completion rate (that's impressive, congrats!). As you can see, I do not have any strict "rules" for users that I consider to add - I just add them when it feels right for me.
Reasons for you to add me... we're both German?! Jokes aside, I neither have a great ratio nor the best GAs and you probably haven't seen me in a lot of discussions we both participated in. Not a valid WL-reason, but I can post pictures of some good boys to make you smile.

I found it in the /r/aww subreddit, but I have no doubt that pictures of cute dogs are recycled over the entire internet...

Its up to you to decide if im worthy of a blue heart.

I like to ๐ people that are active in the community. Well, basically friendly people.
I would love to be in your WL :) I try to play all my wins and I always say thank you when I win
Comment has been collapsed.
I mainly WL for conversations, but lately I undestood how difficult can be having a good ratio, so the last ones are there for giving way more than me :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, in particular in the community train event! Some of them were crazy high :D
Comment has been collapsed.
For being so kind to even have a look at this, I'll just leave this here for you to have a look at.
Thanks, here's my whitelist in return.
Comment has been collapsed.
I usually whitelist for great GAs, being a very positive or helpful person and for interesting forum events/puzzles :)

So I put up my first WL-only GA and I have about 88 people whitelisted. No idea if that's a lot or not, but I'm always looking to expand! I chose a game I enjoyed before I joined Steam, Beholder, and I hope others may enjoy it as well. If you're on my WL you can obviously see it on my profile already, and if not, you may be able to soon! (It runs for about 2 weeks so there's time <3 ) For being so kind to even have a look at this, I'll just leave this here for you to have a peek at.
I hope I will be able to provide a few more neat GAs in the future, and especially to find something that my blue hearts will enjoy. It's been almost a year since I joined SG and I've been having a lot of fun! In the meantime I'll do my best to keep on giving what I have to spare for you all <3 But enough of the blue cheese. Drop me a line or two about what makes you a good WL candidate. In the meantime, I thank you all for your guidance in finding my way on SG. See you around!
EDIT
Oops this is already a lot more fun than I anticipated! I love you guys <3
