There is a Portuguese saying: "One cannot please Greeks and Trojans!"

That means it can be impossible to have 100% approval rate.

Yep, if you want to please 1 person, you will "piss off" the other one, etc, etc, etc

Yesterday I had 3 blacklists and 15 Whitelists
I turned 47 yesterday, and noticed i had 47ish giveaway slots, so decided to have a clearout of my old Indie Gala bundle games that i had never got round to revealing, so created 47ish giveaways of freshly revealed games and as the keys are all over a year old i decided to make them all Lootboy group giveaways (just so if the keys don't work, i can delete them(and yes I know I can't actually enforce it )), but anyway wake this morning
10 Blacklist, 20 Whitelists.

No matter what you do someone gets upset

Happy belated birthday to you & thanks for the story!
There is only one sad thing that can happen to you (due to the fact that you left a comment here) a few more blacklists, but this is not a cause for disappointment. You're lucky, you're 47 years old.
Happy Birthday!!!

47 giveaways of basically shovelware games is a lot. Many people don't want to see those games in their feed so it's easier to blacklist you instead of hiding many games. Maybe 47 doesn't seem that much, but some people make hundreds of these giveaways and most people don't want to even see such games in their feed. It's got nothing to do against you specifically.
I personally just hide such games, but that is tedious work, so I understand why some just don't go the lenght and it's easier to blacklist someone.

And belated congratulations of course ;)

edit : and to OP - I have 36 blacklists as of now, and everytime I comment here it's a good chance it will grow. I mean in real life a person would just stop talking to you, here they blacklist you. It's really nothing special. People naturally wont like everyone and wont agree with everyone. If people could blacklist (or banish) you in real life there would be countless people to do that just because you wear something different, just because you have different haircut... it's life. You can't be liked by everyone.

I already understand everything and at the moment it became funny for me to observe how much number of BL will grow. Thanks for the comment & good luck!

I get that, kind of a pity there isn't some sort of filter that hides games costing under 10 points.

Yeah exactly like that, but with a user interface :)

In practice, it won't matter since WTF hasn't made a single giveaway in eight years. ;)

Eh, I sometimes get blacklisted for merely commenting on something, so dont take it too hard. Also a friendly reminded that the website is called "SteamGIFTS", not "SteamEXCHANGE". Screw bots and botscripts though.

I completely cleared my blacklist for a community event a few months ago, I had since added two more people to it, but I don't remember why, so I just cleared it again, lol... I like it being empty, to be honest. I was added to someone's BL before I ever won any giveaways, and was giving a few here and there, so I was kind of confused myself, but just let it go and moved on.

You are reasoning correctly.
I don't really count on winning here, my goal is to give what someone needs more than me. And blacklisting me is nothing more than silly entertainment now.

I added you to my WL anyway, maybe you will see something coming across there that suits your taste from time to time. And likewise, I look at the numbers for amusement as well. :-)

why not just ban them back on your giveaways, and not just here, but on ALL platforms; Start some War, who says 'you' can have some fun in the process? Just dont go too far, not so great when the person starts coming back crying and stuff begging to delisted when they didn't quite grasp your.. lets call it power level when they initially only rated you on one platform.
anyway in general you unfortunately do get some folks who would kick for the tiniest dislike like your avatar looks or groups you have etc.
