I never Blacklisted someone. Never will. They have to personally offend me, be rude or something. I've met people that did it and still didn't get a blacklist from me.

Yes, the question marks explain those, but here goes in my own words:

what's important to remember is that there is no way to just check if someone black- or whitelisted you, it is done by looking at GAs the user made. To check if you are whitelisted there needs to be a "whitelist only" (or whitelist and groups you are not in) GA to check if you can look at it. To check if you are blacklisted there needs to be at least one GA that's public (or for a group you are in) that you can't join.

Depending on which of these are available in the sample size of GAs checked these different states can arise:

• None: there is a public GA you can enter and a whitelist GA you can't enter, therefore it's confirmed neither is true
• Not blacklisted: there is a public GA that you can enter but there isn't a whitelist GA to check if it's none or whitelist
• Unknown: there are neither whitelist nor public GAs to check so nothing is known
• Not found: You somehow told the script to check a user that can't be accessed, due to name change or something

As for reasons to blacklist, there are very few people on my blacklist... some of them are rule breakers (most of which ended up banned anyway), like... two... people that blacklisted me without telling me why (the second part is important, give a reason that sounds at least subjectively sensible and I can respect that), one or two people that actually managed to be such annoying trolls that they got to me, and a few people that are clearly bot users that just leveled their account years and years ago and haven't been active since.

I'm doing my best not to blacklist anyone. The onlycaategory I have to is fat trolls/drama queens

I blacklist for being outstandingly ungenerous. Like people whose last giveaway was 6 years ago and was DIG fodder but they still login to enter giveaways. Exceptions made for people who play wins.

I went through every cart in the community train and not a single one was on my blacklist, so I judge my criteria acceptable.

Why do people blacklist me? I believe it's entirely discussion comments. I'd have fewer blacklistings if I had fewer opinions, but then what fun would life be?

like Bydydyndi: doing my best to not to. (and even if you blacklist someone, nothing will really happen, actually. just look elsewhere, SG has plenty of other users and giveaways :P)

always used Whitelist and not Blacklist, also. curating that White list has always been my way to go, here around.

dunno if you were searching for this:

Whitelist/Blacklist checker
https://www.steamgifts.com/account/settings/profile?esgst=settings&id=wbc

• Adds a button ( icons ) to the main page heading of any page that allows you to check which users in the page have whitelisted/blacklisted you.
  That information is retrieved by searching for whitelist giveaways in the user's profile page and checking if you can access them. If no whitelist giveaways are found, the feature searches for group + whitelist giveaways instead and checks if you can access them using the groups that you are a member of to determine whether you can access them for being a group member or for being in the user's whitelist.

• There are many options that allow you to narrow down the check: you can select which users to check, check only if the user has blacklisted you (which is faster than checking if they have whitelisted you because it does not need to find a whitelist giveaway), how many pages to check, whether or not to check again users that were already checked and whether or not to skip users that the feature is taking too long to find whitelist giveaways from.

• There are also options to return whitelists/blacklists, which means that if a user that has whitelisted/blacklisted you is found, they will be whitelisted/blacklisted back.

• Adds a button ( icons ) to the page heading of this menu that allows you to view/update all of the users that have been checked.

• Results are cached for 24 hours, so if you check the same user again within that timeframe, their status will not change, unless you check them with the option to clear the cache enabled.

It's very weird I blacklist someone. They have to be really rude to me or someone else.

I have no one on my blacklist and i intend to keep it that way. I cannot be bothered wasting my limited energy for a negative pursuit like this but each to their own.

I’ve yet to blacklist anyone and I don’t think I will, unless their username is something like PuppyKicker9000 and all they do is gloat about how they kick puppies.

i usually blacklist people who abuse the CV system, abuse group ratio/rules and massive leechers(something like 0,2 real CV and lower)

I blacklist only level 5 or higher accounts, the 1000 BL spots aren't enough for them and by far not enough for lower leveled ones.

I put into my BL the people that multiaccount on sg or other places like Twitch streams, freebie sites etc. (we have here on sg people that use up to 77 accounts on each freebie site.... and i see this as absolute sick -to not be able to name them too!-).
The autojoiners (that are at least level 5, which are still A LOT).
The ones that exploit/abuse the cv system with a lot games that are listed as full value but were free, many copies of the $1 bundles, a lot of overpriced trash games etc..
People with stats like 1700 wins and 10 gifted.
The users that made GAs many years ago and enter since that time without to give something back.
And a tiny amount for beeing assholes.

Crazy leeching and too many trash or adult games. I don't think its okay to leech so excessively as it happens on SG, says a lot about the person imo. Maybe that kind of thinking makes me a narcissistic idiot. But I feel the entitlement of leechers is ridiculous. Someone spent their hard earned money for the game you just +1! 😑
