Do you think what I've done is right?
Here I am hoping for better days ahead of you (I know, not very practical, but hoping for the good of others is very inexpensive, so why not?).
As far as I can tell, your English is 100% correct -- but English is not my specialty nor my native language, so I will leave the rating to others more experienced than me.
Cheers!

Happy late cakeday!
Nothing in your English especially caught my eye. 8/10 definitely better than mine :p

Wish you that life would stop throwing lemons at you. It's a beautiful gift you do to these 284 persons. And no i won't rate your english, but you just taught me new words. And also the most important, your presence is necessary and appreciated here, you're a treasure of the community !

Wishing you well JMM, and your English is excellent.
As for clearing your blacklist -- I think if it's meaningful for you, which it seems to be, then it's a good thing to do.

Happy Early Access Birthday JMM! :} I hope the next years of life surpass the last by far!
I was actually thinking of doing something similar with my blacklist - everyone deserves a second chance - everyone has bad days and should not always be judged by those..
As always, thank you for setting a good precedent and allowing me to reflect on life in a different perspective 💚

As a native English speaker with a degree in linguistics I'd give you two ratings. In terms of communicating clearly you easily get a 10. If considering grammar and following the rules of English I'd rate you at an 8.5 or even 9.
As others have mentioned, many native speakers have much worse command of the English language than you show here. Also, language is ever evolving and rules change. There is also the concept of 'World Englishes' and it's possible you follow the rules of your local 'English' to the letter.
Happy birthday and cakeday as well!

I think everyone deserves second chances.They might have misunderstood you or you might have understood them.So giving second chances is a great thing.
The few ones you remember and will remember might redo the samething and fall again in your eyesblacklist,so that settles giving the undeserving ones 2nd chances....
My English is just like yours: Splendid 11/10😅

Keep your chin up buddy. I hope things improve on you this year and i am sending you good vibes.
As for your English, it never even occurred to me you were not a native English speaker. Believe me, I know a lot of natives who speak way worse English than you do.

Hmm... with my horrible ratio, i'm fairly certain that I am one of those freed from your blacklist. So thanks for that.
Sorry to hear you're also having a shitty time in life. I look at everything somewhat pessimistically in order to keep from getting surprised with drama and BS. Yet i am in the midst of hitting rock bottom, and focusing on the basics, staying calm, and giving myself time to meditate/relax when i find myself feeling frantic and near my limit.
As someone who also gets depressed around birthdays, i feel your lack of interest in celebrating that day.
So here's hoping things turn around for you as we enter the fall season.
Blessings and health be with you! o/

I'd give you a solid 8,5-9, although I am a non native English speaker as you know.
Wishing you a happy birthday man! Stay safe :)

Midterm day?🍰😋⇔🎂🤗
May these be good days for you🙂
I do not have the ability to evaluate your English ability.
But the space translator generally understands.
You open it for a change and see the Northern Lights live.
The band is on at the moment.📺
It's not easy to see something like this.

Today is no special day between my cake day (5th) and my birthday, both in October. However I have no will or reason to celebrate any of them. Today is not the day halfway between both dates, nor any specific day for some reason. It's just a saturday, between both dates. (I just realized today is 5th and it was my 5th cakeday - it was pure coincidence.)
I skipped intentionally my cakeday, without its customary giveaway(s) intentionally. I'll not do any other gibs for my birthday either, as I said I have zero motivation to celebrate any of those days. This year has been increasingly hard and complex, and is weighing down on me with
borderlinecruelty.But I'm not here to frolic in self pity, and I don't want to appear as a victim or asking for pity. We all have our troubles and obstacles to overcome. I can't do much for that, neither for you nor for me.
Instead, I'm going to do something I've been thinking about this year for 284 people. I've wiped my blacklist. While I'm very aware some of those people don't deserve it, I decided to not nitpick and just leave the slate clean. My only regret will be that the last times I've given a second chance to someone, I've received nothing but pain. A risk that, well, I hope here will not be anything but disappointment.
Probably most of those people will not even notice it. They will enter one of my giveaways (none running currently, but soon) and not remember that they weren't able before it. Most of them will not have learned why they were blacklisted and will not learn any lesson. I'm not responsible for that and I'll blacklist them again, not even remembering if they were blacklisted before or not. A few I'll remember, for sure. I don't expect to be removed from any blacklist either, and I'm not asking for that. There would be no reason to reset the blacklist as "gift", then.
With not much else to add, I wish you happy days.
P.S.: rate my english from 0 (I didn't understand anything) to 10 (I have career and several masters in english philology and you're perfect). Don't point errors, just rate if you're making a comment.
