Please give me the honor of being the first one on your blacklist. Pretty please :)))

I'm thinking of doing something similar (though won't aim for 0 blacklisted users). A month later, how is this working for you?

So so.
Now I am at 2.
But up to 3 days ago I had 23 and forced myself to delete it again: I had found a forum discussion I was so pissed off that I blacklisted all of the participants to this specific post.
Then, after a week I reverted my decision and freed them all.

Not sure what was said in that thread, but if it was anything racist/hateful/etc I would probably keep them blacklisted. My main goal is to remove those that I added for rule breaking or bad ratios, because I don't think there's much point to it now. With hundreds of thousands of users, it's just not scalable. Neither can be avoided effectively with a blacklist, and I can always avoid them with an SGTools-gate when I'm giving something that justifies it.

I was really torn about that. I thought "Why would I want to give away my games and have people like this win it?".
It was a topic that wanted to be a joke, I know that probably there wa not any malice in it, but it offended my beliefs, so I reacted rather harshly.
When I calmed down my tolerant side prevailed and I unblacklisted all of those participants except for the OP.
Some time ago I was also doing like you did: blackilisting everyone I felt was a "leecher", but after a while I stopped.
Well, actually I dropped it just after I decided to start plublicly giving away games only to 7+ lvl users.
Even if the fact I could say "My games, my rules" still let me think I was not wrong doing that.

I almost never use my blacklist (only 2 people on there; one blacklisted me and everyone else in a group I was in simply because he got kicked from it so I blacklisted him too, and another admitted to cheating on monetized games / being a thief). On the other hand, my whitelist gets used somewhat regularly, your actually one of the people on it if you didn't know :)

Yup, thanks a lot indeed, mate, I appreciate it indeed!
Hope I can return the favor one time or another :-)

I have added every member of the site to my blacklist to make sure no one wins any of my GA's :D

Ah ah ah, that's a quick way to solve all problems, indeed! :-)

This is a nice gesture from you and I bet you feel good about it :)
I personaly do not have anyone in my blacklist and it would probably take a direct personal insult or attack for me to blacklist someone. I also use my whitelist sparingly but it is slowly growing... guess who just got in! ;)

Oh, wow, thanks a lot indeed, mate! So nice!
Hope I can reciprocate someday :-)

Well, that's the main risk after doing a thing like this. Striving not to, but temptation is strong...
