What are the usual reasons for being blacklisted?

Posting about getting blacklisted

They usually prefer to blacklist people that are breathing, but it's also quite common to blacklist people that aren't breathing. In short, people may blacklist anyone. :P

Creating threads about black listing.

Scnr.

It's solely at the discretion of the one who put you on their list.

It could be that they don't like your avatar, your use of syntax whilst talking, something you've said or what they consider of your behaviour here or elsewhere.

I don't use the blacklist myself but I have no problem with being on other people's for whatever reason they have for putting me on it.

Maybe somebody who has put you on theirs will tell you why in this thread - that's the only way of really knowing.

Maybe there are some unwritten rules or SG etiquette?

don't make a thread about bl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As far as I know the main reasons are:

1. Breaking the rules (not activated wins, multiple wins, free games, thread with ref links, etc)
2. Being rude (specially, if you make a separate thread to insult somebody or a group of people. Example: "This site sucks, you are all idiots and feel free to blacklist me f*ers!")
3. Bad ratio ("bad" is obviously subjective)
4. Making a thread to complain about something (unless people agree with you, i.e. Example: "I have entered 300 giveaway and won only some crap!")
5. Giving only to very small groups/whitelist
6. Not having given in a long time
7. Not thanking the giveaway creator when winning a giveaway (in 99% of cases only from the giveaway creator and even then, most don't care)
8. Lots of other reasons

People (usually the ones who get blacklisted a lot, and don't want to take responsibility for their own actions ;) ) like to claim that people randomly blacklist, but there's usually a reason behind it.
You can get backlisted for any number of reasons. Apart from the ones you mentioned, breaking various rules, some blacklist due to ratio (which might be why you got blacklisted) other blacklist due to comments you've made. Some blacklist for comments you don't make, like saying thanks after winning a game (you have 18 comments and 61 won games, so that might be it). Some blacklist due to them being racists and seeing that you're from a country they don't like. There are any number of reasons, but there almost always is a reason at least.

U can get blacklisted for anything, any potato strange reason, community here is so so sensitive and touchy from everything. (if we talking about threads) then u can be blacklisted for ratio, for "seems" rude... and then some real reasons as breaking rules or insulting

Many people blacklist for ratio of win / sent games (never done that since one user just have less money then the other ) and if you got other point of view for case you discuss with them (which in my opinion is just dumb but whatever) I use blacklist only for users who regift won games and people who insults other which is unacceptable.

The most common reasons are:

• Posting a thread about blacklists.
• Having a SteamGifts account.

No, I am not joking.

Common reasons I've seen:

• Spamming a thoughtless "thank you" on several giveaways.
• Win:Gift ratio > 10
• Personal attacks
• Making a giveaway for a free game before the admins remove the game from the list
• Being a jerk in SteamTrades

Well never know for sure, since you don't need to give a reason when blacklisting.

I blacklist people first and foremost for being tools in the forum, secondly for breaking group rules, and occasionally just for having an extremely poor ratio.

I believe about half of my own come as return-blacklistings from people who notice they're on mine, and the other half from creating giveaways/events in the forums which have any kind of entry requirement (even if only being the need for some minimal effort). There's a very clear spike for each time I've created something like that.

Breathing,having opinion,using ATP.

What are the usual reasons for being blacklisted?

Everything.

Seriously though, people blacklist for whatever reason they want. Some probably blacklist just for fun. The most common ones are for rule breaking, posting about blacklisting and being rude/annoying. But people may also blacklist you because they don't like your avatar...

98% on mine are serial regifters but in general people can blacklist or whitelist others for any reason.

I wont blacklist someone for a bad ratio alone but if they are the type to go on the forums and troll and be rude to people or re-gift or not activate there wins they will eventually end up on my very short blacklist. Think about 15 people have made it there so far.

29 of the most common reasons

My main reason for blacklisting is people making multiple giveaways for exactly the same giveaway at exactly the same time e.g. 5 copies of Banner Saga in individual GAs, without them being distinguished by Level 1+, Level 2+, etc. I just find it very disrespectful to the community at large to make another user piss away all their points on the same exact giveaway when the creator can easily make it one GA for the same 5 copies.

I doubt many people care about this, but it just irks me worse than serial regifters, so yeah, instant BL.

EVERYTHING

I found I was blacklisted when I had a different opinion about Trump.

I don't blacklist anymore, i was doing it when i was new on SG, but i cleared my Blacklist to zero and i don't want blacklist any people here.
when i get blacklisted i must say it goes past my ass and how many too, maybe i get now blacklisted for this comment too.
and if i win or not is also not that interested anymore, i have so many games i never can play all of these. and i buy almost every bundle and the games i want for me anyway, so i hope you see it like this too and if all members thinking like this, we had less drama here.

Everything.

I stopped caring. I win good things having quite a lot of blacklists so I'm not complaining! I case you are wondering I have 65 blacklists and all of them suck :3

Probably breathing.
