Whitelist?

I do like whitelists fot yhe kawaii power plse?

I think I do qualify.

elllloooooooo mister ＼(^ω^＼)

add me :) i will make some more giveaways if i work :D

yeah if you whitelist me don't expect me to do a lot of giveaways i don't have an income and most of the games i put up are from where i've sold inventory items in exchange for games :P but i'm going to whitelist you

whitelist me if you like

Asking for permission to get aboard WL

I completely disagree with your "definition" of a leech. Majority "invite only" games come from puzzles and trains, they are actively trying to participate in the community, they should be praised not branded as a "leech". Also, you are offering "whitelist for whitelist", making it even more inclusive and you've increased your chances of getting a game incredibly from whitelist only giveaways of the 600+ other people you've whitelisted.

I'm all for whitelisting and I appreciate the sentiment of being "Anti-leech" but this feels like thinly veiled "add me to your whitelist and lets become exclusive" rather than "lets all join in together and be inclusive".

The definition of a leech is simple in my eyes, if someone wins a significant amount more than they have given under any circumstances, they're a leech. Even so, I'd only classify them as leeching if they've won 20-30 more than they've given. Sometimes even that is subjective, if you've given 2,000 games but won 2,030 its not like you are here to take take take, you've given away 2,000 games. I can forgive the 30 deficit.

Whitelist me??

A question, if I may ask.
How do you check how much % a user has given to private groups, how much % a user has given to region restricted games, etc., do you do it manually or is there any scripts to do it?

Damnit, dupe comment, coffee not potent enough. Need moar.

confused....am I in or out?

if you withelistme, i will give you a cat gif :)

That feel when you make a lot of invite GA's, but they're free-for-all forum GA's tho. ; - ; damn.

I still wouldn't make it on your whitelist for serveral other reasons, but that's one that sucks 4 me. lol.

Can I be on your whitelist?

dunno if i am good enough to be whitelisted or not emm

bump

Hey! How do I look, chief? My whitelist is really small but I'll add you to mine if you'll have me. I do a lot of group GAs recently but I put out public ones every so often.

I have only 187 SG users on my whitelist. :-)

I like your style, the " invite only " and " private small group " giveaways parameters will probably turn some self-imposed " honcho's " into unhappy campers :-)

Make sense

Hey Nate, I've probably entered one of yours, maybe, I'm not sure, but if you were here for as long as I was, then it's entirely possible.
Now, I wont even think entering your WL, that's not why I'm commenting. Just wanted to bring a few things to your attention, from MY point of view (if I'd said POV then you'd be thinking in a different thing, right ;) )
• "% Created / Won" (i.e. Win Ratio in %) <-- This one is related with the region restriction thing, at least for me.
• "% Region" (i.e. % of Region Restrictions) <-- Since Valve/Steam changed the rules, heck, kicked the damn board! I haven't done a GA. In Argentina there's no special regional price yet we have region restriction. Bundles -the most affordable option for the less fortunate- don't provide CV, so no level up.
• "Time since last GA was created" <-- This one is related to the Valve regionlock/tradelock/clusterffff

I'm certainly not saying what you should or shouldn't do; that's your business and a community is based on mutual respect and help/assistance. You'd notice that I'm not quite a leech but I'm not quite a giver now, I used to give, I continued to give away stuff just outside SG, yeah friends in steam know what I'm talking about, so it's not like I've grown a pitch-black heart :P

So USA and other regions have ROW games and sometimes great sales. Even if we -the excluded, discriminated folk of restricted regions- manage to buy a game (whether an AAA or a cheap one) and decide to give it away instead of keeping it for ourselves, or give it to our friend, girlfriend, 40-yo-fat-guy-pretending-to-be-a-18-girl or our favourite ET buddy, it will still be RESTRICTED to those whom live in the same region. Where I'm getting with all this? if one of your parameters to reject or blacklist someone is region restriction, how is that his/her fault?
Do you know a way to adquire ROW versions of games without breaking ToS rules and/or overpaying? Because I don't.

Again, I'm not looking anything other to cause a reaction in you, hopefully good one, at least I don't wish to anger you or others. If anyone things this is inappropriate then please ban me, that way I know there's no such thing as freedom of speech, and that any other POV (yep, I said it! XD) wont be tolerated never less considerated.

Thank you for reading, I'm sorry I do such long wall of texts, but I've tried explaining -maybe over explaining?- the best I could, giving the circumstances, sleepy and foreign language. Good Luck in your WL quest, hopefully one day I can finally get a job (yes, I'm unemployed, boo-hoo, this is Argentina) and then could make more people happy, here and outside. Cheers :)

Hi :)

Can I be in your whitelist?
