No idea why, but I'm in your BL.
being rude and offensive to others, or posting hateful comments towards specific groups, minorities etc -> absolutely not
Poor contribution level -> not really
History of rule breaking from entering one's giveaways -> none that I know of.

I think the reason is that you got some of the links for key lists on this thread, but didn't say which keys you took or tried to activate and they were used.
I'm abroad now and don't have access to my records, but in any case, I'll remove you from my BL. Please make sure to add a comment to that thread if you activate any of the keys or get links to new lists.

Doh! rereading that thread carefully, I remember getting the giveaway link for list 1, not getting anything, and not commenting - your rules clearly said " DO NOT click Get giveaway link if you pass the test. Getting the link and not leaving any comment will get you blacklisted."
So, I deserved it. That said, no key was taken, and won't do it again nevertheless.
Glad you removed me! <3

I feel like you had me blacklisted at one point, but not anymore. So thanks, unless of course I'm wrong in which case, I feel left out. :P Upstanding move, you're a gentleman and a scholar.

Blacklisted, too! And I have no idea why! Feel free to remove me as you felt free to add me! (May be for my comments!) ;)

I have no idea either. Removed! :-)

Convenient giveaway for thread :)
May I ask how many are there in your blacklist?

A few hundreds, which is way more than I want. I can't imagine that there are more than a few dozens who really need to be there. Unfortunately my reasoning for blacklisting in the past was very different than it is today,

The blacklist feature on this site is completely ineffective for restricting users with poor contribution level or history of rule breaking from entering one's giveaways. For every user blocked, there are countless others who will slip through with the same attributes. I did not have this realization in the past, so have many users on the list for these reasons. Unfortunately I also didn't use user tags until recently, so can't tell which users were added for these reasons, and which for more valid reasons like being rude and offensive to others, or posting hateful comments towards specific groups, minorities etc.
I think it's time to reduce the size of my blacklist. I'd like to remove anyone who is blacklisted and requests me to do so, with very few exceptions. Here's how you can help me if you're on the list:
If you prefer to do it privately (understandable), just open Playing Appreciated group chat, click the little arrow near my name and then Send Message. I may be away, but if I'm connected to the chat I will see your message eventually. There's a small chance I'll decide to keep you on the list, but I will at least explain to you why. Another option to reach me is via the Discord.
Thank you for helping!
