Basically, I think it would be a good idea when blacklisting someone to jot a quick note as to why you're blacklisting the person.
Several times, I've been invited to a private GA, discovered I was blacklisted, and then told by the GA creator that they couldn't remember why I was blacklisted, and they took me off.

Now, I happen to be very selective with my blacklist (only 8 so far) and I like to think I have a very good reason for why I blacklisted each person on that list. but, by now I have no idea why I blacklisted them. At least one was for admitting to cheating or misusing gifts, but I don't remember who.

I wish I could have jotted a short note (50 characters?) when I blacklisted them, so I can quickly see why I blacklisted said person, and so I can decide if enough time has elapsed relative to the incident in question, and therefore should remove that person from my blacklist.

Would you like to take notes on why you blacklist someone?

Thank you so much for the heads up! I started using this yesterday and it became one of my essential script for SG :)

Sure, why not have it as a feature in SteamGifts itself. Could have notes for whitelist too.

I used to do that, but they all vanished for me fairly recently. I think it might be related to the https switch.

Recently site uses https protocol. You need to "migrate" localStorage. Here you have instructions about how to do it.

there are at least 2 scripts for that, or you can take notes in a spreadsheet.

I like to note down the post where they revealed themselves to be an idiot as well. Otherwise I'd just end up with dozens labelled as idiots. :D

I think that what you're saying is quite reasonable. They could have custom options to add next to each blacklist, not necessarily a whole text. I only blacklist people that have already blacklisted me first. Recently, 2 guys removed me from their blacklist just because they didn't remember why they put me there anyway, so I removed them from my blacklist too, in order to allow them to join my giveaways. Still, the last thing I want is them to remember why they originally blacklisted me and blacklist me again. It would be nicer if they would remember the reason why they added me in their blacklist in the first place, so that they would remove me from their blacklist ONLY if they were sure that the reason for blacklisting me wasn't that important for them.

I did see the picture before it was removed. It was not really a picture of pornographic nature, though it's still not something that you should post on a forum.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think the suspension was unjustified, you should still not post closeups of children's genitalia online, even if the context is not pornographic.
Though you just need to read the other posts by myruthus to see why this person might be on a good amount of blacklists by now (I blacklisted myruthus for racist comments in the past, so this is not the only time they've done things that might be considered "bad").

it wasnt porn and it wasnt god forbid child porn. it was stupid picture. but we live in the age of a sensitive idiots who sees abuse and violation of rights almost in every act or picture. Unfortunatly I cant find the picture right now on the google pictures where I took it so every one could judge for himself.

You do realize the only person who can delete comments is the site admin, cg, right? He was the one who deleted it, so obviously it doesn't belong here.

So just stop making excuses for yourself. It didn't belong on these forums, plain and simple.

I dont make excuses, probably it was deleted and I was suspended because of childish whining idiots like you who cry at everything they dont like, so stop spamming your loser views, go talk to children like you are.

Sounds like a good enough idea.
If there are scripts already doing it , why not just implement one of those to the core site :?

the information is stored locally for those scripts. as a SG feature, that information should be stored on their server.

Good suggestion. I'm in favour of that.
It being part of the standard functionality of the site would be better than having to use a script, linked to the specific hardware you're using at the time.
