I sometimes don't get the system. I did absolutely nothing wrong, I played it safe, I was nice and yet, I'm still blacklisted. Why is that?

You could get blacklisted just for breathing for all they care.
My guess on you would be that you have an interesting ratio. Or that you breath too loud.

Or that you breath too loud.

I imagine it's not really the volume, but the fact that you're breathing in a high-pitched, wheezing staccato.
Seriously, how are you not passing out from hyperventilation?

Some people do it to make sure people don't win from them more than once. Others because of ratio or because you expressed some views they disliked.

Basically, a huge number of people are just asses while a smaller portion of them have legitimate reasons. The blacklists are reciprocal now so they can't enter yours when they blacklist you anyways, so don't worry about it.

FYI, blacklists on here are like fight club rules for many people who then blacklist you for talking about blacklisting. You will end up on more for this thread.

Exactly. It's not necessarily personal. It doesn't mean you think they're a bad person. You just don't want them to win your games for whatever reason.

It's automatic. They changed it a while ago so that blacklists work both ways because a lot of people were complaining that it's unfair that people who have blacklisted them keep entering and winning their gibs ;)

^^ this

I've been BL'd for making a joke that someone took seriously. <shrug> With the reciprocal thing, it usually just means that they can't enter my thousands of GAs, and it's one less person that I need to BL myself. :D

Seriously, I personally keep my BL very, very small. I save it for when someone really acts like a jerk or cheats to get into a GA that was protected. I have a policy of assuming ignorance before malice, and 99.9% of the time this means that there's just a misunderstanding, and I work things out with whomever I had the conflict. I save the BL for when someone has really earned it. 😏

Who cares. If you think about it statistically, what are the chances of you winning a public game that happens to be blacklisted.

As many wrote, anything can lead another user to blacklist you.
People blacklist for given/won ratio, for giving away bundle games, for not making public GAs, for only making public GAs....
I've seen people blacklisting others for race, for religion, for their profile pic, for their sexuality, for opinions, for basically anything.

You'll never be able to keep yourself away from blacklists at all.

I'm sure I'll even get some for this comment here lul

Out of curiosity, do you get a notification like "X have added you to their blacklist." or do you simply see it as +1 to "Blacklists" in "My Stats" section. Other than that, you have my sympathy for what that's worth.

Yep, that's enough for me. If you clearly can't be bothered to even try to give away games, that's generally good enough for my BL. I want to give my games to folks who are interested in being givers occasionally and not just takers.
