Blacklisted for win?

People do it so they get different winners to their giveaways. I would not lose sleep over it.

Blacklist is personal thing.
You may not done anything wrong to you and still got blacklisted.

Only happened to me once. I won a giveaway and creator immediately blacklisted me for no reason. He even blocked me on steam and also didn't send the key. I was so shocked...

Here you should see the creators of giveaways

I once entered a giveway for a bunlde after asking, if it's ok to enter even though I owned some part. He said sure but then blacklisted me for actually winning

I have blacklisted several people for thanking me for a giveaway or even a won game. And now you get blacklisted more because you made this thread. It really is random like that.

This was your 2nd whitelist win from this particular giveaway creator, so they may just be trying to ensure diversity with their future winners.

Or maybe you didn't thank them for the first game.

Or maybe they woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Blacklists are not always logical so it's not always possible to figure them out!

Well, if a person chooses to be rude and wouldn't allow you to thank them (it's hard for me not to read this behaviour as something on the lines of "You've won a game from me? Good, now you can go fuck yourself"), that's totally their prerogative, as unpleasant as it is. At least this way the said person is also barred from entering your GAs, and you wouldn't want a rude person to win your GAs, would you?

I don't have an opinion about it but the legend says that it is not good to talk about "that list".

Maybe not blacklisted but removed from whitelist? Because it was a whitelist GA.

An illogical example.

I sometimes mistake the whitelist and blacklist buttons.
So don't ponder it.
Probably due to the mystery of the universe.(ﾉΘ`)✨

I'm sorry if it's a real mistake.
I may also add "people who have won too many" so sorry...･ﾟ･(PΘq｡)･ﾟ･

Just make a new thread titled, "Whoever just gave me Mine the Gold and then blacklisted me, thank you!" ;)

Hey,

It would be best to remove name of the game you won from the OP post. There is no reason to focus attention on particular creator, as users are able to blacklist (and whitelist) for any reason they want. So you will not find the answer to "why" by writing a forum thread.

I can't even see who the creator was to ask why?

Just go to this page, it will show you names of creators of GAs you marked as received / not received.

my experience is once time i won the game but the creator never give the game and i blocked and send ticket to sg but nobody respond jajaj

Did you double check to see if it says "you are not on the user's whitelist" or "you have been blacklisted by this user." It would make more sense that they simply kicked you off their whitelist. ;)

They may BL you for the most trivial of reasons, ranging anywhere from ratio, to full value vs bundled, to library size, to (perceived) incomplete or unplayed games.
I've stopped trying to make sense of it. But I feel better knowing that the BL was made 2 way, so create more giveaways - they won't be able to enter yours :)

Don`t worry ,you can just move along... Welcome to my 💙 list with this occasion.😁

I can't even see who the creator was to ask why?

I will say that while I don't mind blacklists existing, I do kinda wish there was more transparency about it...

For instance, it would be really nice if when the site was determining if you can view a GA or not, it would evaluate the condition of "this user won this particular GA" as "allowed to view" and higher priority than the rules of "user is blacklisted by GA creator" / "user is not part of group (anymore)" so that one could still view all of their past wins...

I get that some people like to be anonymous little shits and BL everyone so they would probably be opposed to transparency. But have always thought it was kinda stupid and promoted a lot of hidden ill will in the community. I would just rather have it be upfront. Someone BL'd you? Let them field questions about why (or disregard/ignore the questions), just as you'd have to do in IRL if you started excommunicating friends/family/etc with no notice. It sets the tone for people to act more responsibly and more tolerably toward one another and less like immature little shits doing petty things because they can "get away with it" without anybody questioning them / knowing they did it. And as long as functionality remains intact, there's nothing stopping someone from continuing to BL if they really want to but it might get people to actually talk to each first instead of just being petty.

If CG were to hypothetically put it up to a vote to whether or not to make "who has you on their BL / who's on your BL" publicly visible to all, I would vote YES bc I think it promotes a better community when everything relating to more than one user is out in the open (and even though a BL is controlled by one user, it does affect other users so it does relate to them).

Edit: looks like this thread was locked at some point after I was last on SG... Maya, you are absolutely correct that someone BL you doesn't automatically make them immature. I should have clarified that my comment above wasn't intended to imply that any and all who decide to BL someone are 'immature little shits'. I was more trying to say that having anon blacklists encourages certain people to act like 'immature little shits' where those same people might not be as quick to BL over minor things if we had publicly visible BL's. The certain people I refer to are ones that BL for petty reasons (such as people BL someone who creates a post about BLs "just because") or people who start arguments then BL anyone who disagrees with them, even if those people are still polite and respectful. While there is perhaps some degree of communication, it's hard to say "hey, dude why did you BL me?" when you don't know whodunnit and while this type of convo wouldn't always change the outcome, there are surely some cases where it would start a convo that leads to walking back the BL. Either way, there are legit uses for BLs and simply using the feature does not make one a little shit. In the OP's scenario, I think that is a perfectly valid way to use BLs (gifter wants to spread out wins not have same people win multiple GAs) although I would encourage people who do this to be open about it and add a warning to their GAs if they don't already. As for me needed to get out more, I do but probably wouldn't hurt to do it more :-) at the same time, my intent was less of an "i hate the internet wah" rant and more of a "there is a case to be made for public BLs on SG". Sorry if it came off as one instead of the other... I can be a grumpy old man IRL sometimes too haha.

Doesn't seem to be the case with you, but what I sometimes do is blacklist winners after they sent their comment and have marked the game as received IF they have a terrible share ratio. Basically if their won value is way higher than their given value.
I do that because I prefer rewarding those who give more than they take, rather than support "leeching" tendencies.

I've added you to my 💙 for counterbalance :)

I remember one guy doing giveaway for AAA game(W3? Or something like this) and he said winner will be blacklisted

It was a gamble-win aaa game and never have chance to win maybe better games from this guy or pass and go for his another giveaway in future for better aaa game. Or maybe there will be no more giveaways from him? You know

Ppl segregate other ppl too much these days so it doesnt surprise me

People take blacklists quite personally, but we often forget that they're just a means of moderating who can and cannot enter our giveaways. As others have pointed out, it seems most likely that they use the blacklist in this way to prevent someone from entering another giveaway of theirs after having won one. So long as you're generally chill, don't stress about an occasional blacklist as if it might haunt you and mark you out as a bad person or anything. It's less of a reputation system, and more of a random stat change tracking.

Think of it this way : People used to take offense if you didn't automatically accept their random friend requests on any platform and demand a reason as if you insulted their bloodline. People still treat upvotes / downvotes / etc like they're rating your soul, and even people here wield "thanks for the blacklist" like it's some kind of murderous callout fatality. I mean yeah, sometimes a blacklist or whitelist can be personal (typically for very opposed values in heated threads), but in the end it's still just to moderate their own giveaways and it's not like it stains you with a black mark others can get creeped out by. Plus blacklisting is mutual, meaning anybody who blacklists you cannot enter your giveaways either.

It might help to remember that there are occasional threads where people will just whitelist or blacklist on request for little to no reason. Try not to read too far into it! You're just feeling the whiplash because you noticed where that specific one came from, and it made you flinch. Even the most respectful and soft spoken person will pick up blacklists, and even people with actual reputations for being garbage tier trolls or making big obnoxious tantrum displays will also get occasional whitelists. There's no real standard so don't worry. :)

Hell, feeling salty or getting confused over a blacklisting isn't unusual either. You might have noticed we get a thread about blacklists every now and then that follows this kind of pattern. Don't worry, you're good, haha.

I did it once. I really didn't like what I could see of the winner on Steam (still gave him the game though).
So, it could be the same for you...
