I'm blacklisted by a bunch of people that didn't like that I was complaining about them setting level 3 minimums for their giveaways, when in order to level up, you have to buy games and give them away. At the time, I, like quite a few others, used this site to get games because we had no money. When you blacklist someone because they don't have money to make giveaways, you are plain and simply an asshole. It sickened me to see how many people backed these guys up on BListing me because I was poor. Their logic was literally "In order to get this free game, you have to give everyone else a shitload of free game. If you can only to afford to enter and not create, you shouldn't be here. This isn't a place to get free games, you poor POS."

If what you said here is true, you weren't BL'd for 'being poor' you were BL'd for attacking others for setting the entry requirements for winning THEIR STUFF out of your reach. You don't have to like the entry requirements people set, but you damn sure don't have the right to get bitchy about it and attack them because YOU couldn't enter.

theres like a dozen games under 10cents on steam right now. you are literally so poor you cant spend a dollar and get a bunch?
cause if you are that poor, you have bigger concerns than trying to win a video game and maybe you should try to sort those things out rather than wasting time here.

As others have already mentioned, there is strong resentment to the attitude where people start throwing demands on contributors e.g. setting levels. One can always give feedback or suggestions but please do so in neutral manner. I do not know how you presented yourself, but if your tone was even slightly aggressive, it makes you look pretty rude. It is their money after all they are using so they are free to set any limitations they see fit for the giveaways.

this is both a site to get free games and to give them away. depending on the preference and economical situation of each user.
what annoys most contributors are complains about "barriers" that prevent them from entering GAs, like whitelist/blacklist/group/level restrictions. the thing is most giveaways are unrestricted or lv1-2, which is extremely easy to reach just by giving away games bought with cards or items sold on the market...
and besides, there's no point in complaining. if i can't go to a nightclub because the ticket is $15 and i only have $5, i don't go there to rant on how the price is leaving me outside because i can't afford it.

I think I am
Now granted, admittedly I do tend to speak out of my mind, even when I might be considered as jerk/asshole for doing so. However in no way I go overboard, or lets say randomly insulting/flaming people or any other destructive behaviour.

I don't THINK i've been blacklisted by anyone due to my excessive awesomeness...if however you have blacklisted me and wish to unblacklist me...That would be cool <_< Also, to the few people I do have blacklisted: It was cause you broke some giveaway rule or did something disrespectful to another GA creator...Although I do plan on clearing out my Blacklist at the start of this coming year, so you won't be blacklisted much longer.

Never cared enough to blacklist anyone.
Don't know who's blacklisted me, and I really don't care. Not even sure how to view such a thing honestly.
A lot of people on this website seem to have an elitist attitude, either because of their level, or because they think the games they're giving away are pure gold.

I read that as "Unless you're a sheep, which in that case, you're pretty happy with so much blood!"
Yeahhh, that changes the meaning of this phrase quite a bit.

No if you blacklist it changes your whitelist to the blacklist. I just tried for you. Feel special.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, Blacklisted you then closed and reopened then hard refreshed it changes the blacklist to the whitelist when selected.
Good News - You can be Blacklisted though, I selected it!
Better News - You went back to the Whitelist.

This might be a very bad idea, because my BL is quite full. My BL reasons include but are not limited to:
If you think you are on my BL for no reason, feel free to let me know. Due to the callout rule, I might ask you to add me on Steam to discuss.

Wiped mine clean a month or two back. Felt it was getting too big, plus I never kept a record of why someone was on there which I began to regret.
Would blacklist for regifting, non-activation of games, trying to exploit CV by giving away free keys, and making giveaways under the wrong game title on purpose.
Was thinking that allowing people to earn their way off the list was something I'd like to look into. If free key givers made some regular giveaways with stuff they actually bought or traded for, or if non-activators bought the games they didn't activate in the past etc. No record of why a person was on there in the first place made this impossible so I removed everyone.
Only put one person on the list since then, and I haven't been quite as active on the site in the last few weeks as I once was anyway so I'm not really bothering keeping on top of this kind of thing right now.

That are the reasons I blacklist someone:
Seems like a lot of reasons but my blacklist is quite empty with only 30 entries.
I knew about 4 people blacklisted me. From one of them I knew the reason, but don't know why the other three don't like me.
Maybe cause I can't shut up and always say stuff that I think, even if it's something that some people don't want to hear.
Or it's cause of some threats I've created like the Capcom Humble Bundle one, where the most people didn't even notice that there were GAs hidden behind the links and just thought it was just a 1:1 copy of the threat from our lovely Rachel :3
It also could be cause of some really evil puzzles, like the one where you had to find a squirrel on a pic, but there was no squirrel D:
Or cause I sometimes just spam some stupid shit.
But maybe they just don't like squirrels D:
Ok ok I see there are many reasons for blacklist me T.T

To be honest I can't pronounce squirrel T.T

I'm sorry...the worst part of it is almost everything you think is BS is linked from a legit news source. It really makes you wonder about the world lol.

I BL'ed you because you didn't like my Grandmother's Squirrel Stew Recipe. :/
Repent! :D

At least you weren't the only one :3
But those GAs teached me one thing.
I'll never give away any capsom games again (except the RE HD Remastered, but thats like the only capcom game without 1000 different region locked versions), it's so annoying with all the region locks -_-

As far as im concerned, im blacklisted by nobody
I was blacklisted before, i think twice, with an actual reason, we talked and I think im not on those lists anymore.
My blacklist needs some cleaning, ill check my files and hoppefully cut it down
Comment has been collapsed.
Never noticed that
Like i said as far as im concerned. i dont count people that where on my blacklist, in fact i expect to be retroactively added to theirs
I dont see it as blacklisting, its more like action-reaction

Wherever I am - I think I deserve it somehow.
Please don't remove me from there.
I must have a lesson :)
Comment has been collapsed.
No, I thought that way too, but:
What else can happen?
I should know I have done something blacklist-able or it's a pathetic reason.
Why pathetic? Because I couldn't predict it and to be honest - can't really sorry for it.
I will stay on BL forever :)
I don't need to be loved be everybody.
I am 100x happier with 1 specific whitelist, than 100 un-blacklisters :3
Comment has been collapsed.
I like how you think.
Whitelisted you- oh wait. You're already on my whitelist.
Comment has been collapsed.
I broke the rules at some point, I got suspended and I deserved it, even though it was already known at that point that the game would become f2p and the mass GA was just for traffic. I learnt my lesson, and I don't really expect(or care) to be taken out of blacklists, just wanted to share.
...yeah, being removed would be nice, I won't admit it didn't cross my mind. However I've won my fair share, gave away mostly bundle games, so just un-blacklist someone with less wins if you're feeling nice tonight.
Comment has been collapsed.
I only BL those who are rule breakers and people that were really rude here in the forum(or both). But I may have made one or two mistakes.
If you're in my list and you feel like you don't belong there, please explain yourself and I shall reconsider your case.
And for those who blacklisted me: HOW DARE YOU?!?
Ok, I honestly don't know if I am in any, but if I am, I would like to know why please(for self-improvement).
Comment has been collapsed.
I honestly don't understand the purpose of blacklisting or whitelisting, probably because I don't have much personal investment in this site? It's not like Tumblr, people aren't going out of their way to be jerks (from my perspective). So no one is whitelisted or blacklisted by me because y'all are strangers, and strangers aren't discriminated against unless they personally offend me with BS.

This post triggers me could you please remove it and make a formal apology to me and my emotions.
jk I hope my sarcastic view on Tumblr comes through

As a genderfluid polypan raincloud I support this message and ask for our Rainbow brethren to aid in the support of shutting down this hate speak. I also would ask all sapiosexuals to join us in our campaign, for obvious reasons.

Oh look at that an island is tapped for 3 to his mana pool.
He's played Relentless Rats!

I had blacklist once, it mainly consisted of rule-breakers and rude people, but after I got back to SG from my break I removed everyone and I don't feel a need to add people there.
I've recently found myself on someone's blacklist, but I don't know who it is, so I'm midly puzzled, but either way no hard feelings :)

You want to join a GA and see the "You can not join, you are BL'ed" info. If you want to know who BL'ed you, start a new private/incognito tab in your browser and copy-paste the GA URL there.

This thread would have been more interesting if it'd been made after CG implements the ability to check how many WL/BLs you're on.
And on topic, as I've stated before I collect blacklists so if I'm on yours just keep me there. It beats collecting stamps.

i don't even know who put me in their blacklist o.o
