Sometimes i see people doing giveaways with both whitelist and group and not always easy to distinguish if they also got me whitelisted or that i am just part of a group, unless i dig into those groups or more so people that got me whitelisted but give away games that i already have (with my 12000) and therefor i can and will never see and thus return the favor. If you feel you are one of those, do comment that here (and let's be honest).
I know that there is a script for it i believe, but according to my stats i am already on 1200 people's whitelists but as when it comes to seeing giveaways i am only seeing 2-4 pages and if it's limited to 1000 on my side, i couldn't even add everyone if i wanted to, i wanted to set that straight.

However i am open to a few new people but some rules (i borrowed from amano):
-No leechers, if your ratio is too poor, forget it, i am not so much looking at the real cv part that is has to be 1:1 because it's not always a fair system, but come and get close and atleast in numbers it's prefered to have more sents then wins.
-No exploiters (50p crap games) and group circles (gifting only in groups with a selected amount of people).
-Have all your wins activated.
-You must do public giveaways on a regular base (atleast have done so in the past year).
-Therefor you must also do some whitelist giveaways per year, otherwise what's the use?
-Being active in a positive manner on the forum is a plus.

I am not going to reply to each and every person, if you get added you will see it yourself (or check) and it's probably totally random and it's not because i wouldn't like you but my remaining space is limited (and yes i should purge the inactives) but i also don't want it too full so a certain group that deserves it get a better chance on winning sometimes (it's what's it there for).

Hey Lugum, not asking to be WL as i don't meet your criteria but i am pretty sure asking for people to whitelist you back for your whitelist is not allowed. Better safe than sorry i suppose.

I wasn't sure as you can't ask much in return in general here, but i thought maybe this would be allowed, i removed it thanks.

Yeah your ratio is very good, but unfortunately it seems mostly or all group giveaways. :x

I believe you can't ask for whitelist back...? I seem to recall seeing that variously, but don't recall.
Anyway, separately, you are on my whitelist. I usually whitelist people who seem to do thoughtful things. I don't do a lot of whitelist giveaways, but sometimes tack it on for a group giveaway.

I'm new here, and that's a minus.
On the plus side, I'm also looking for people for the white list. There are only 2 people there so far. I expect the addition to the white list to be mutual.

might want to define public.

I know some of us(such as myself) prefer semi public(somewhat open groups(PA/UL7/Play or Pay/PAGYWOSG/a few others)) or invite only for giveaways in discussions/events(jigidi puzzles/pagywosg/community trains/etc...) just to try and avoid autojoiners/hyper leeches. Also what about those who only do level 10 public giveaways... those are hardly what I would consider public as well.

Some day I will decide on what I want out of my whitelist(it feels like I am playing favorites currently), its not even a dozen people yet here, thus the limited number of blue heart giveaways I do(they still happen at least).

Public seemed public to me, a normal giveaway, meaning for everyone open and yes i myself did many invite ones for years (jigsaw, jigsaw advents, and lately the music puzzles) nor would i totally dismiss people wanting to gift in certain groups but those that you mentioned, don't qualify as a group circle thing.

It doesn't have to be 1 thing only, like you also did some public ones looking at the last 5 pages, at mid level, so you would qualify to me.
And yes level 10 only seems a bit like a stretch (didn't know that was a thing for some people, as it's evident even there are autojoiners /leechers etc.

Personally i am also with a thought that we all joined here at one point at level 0 too and others given us a chance too, so i am trying to make lower levels too (although i also had the hassles, the lower the level how more it went, but more over that people weren't activating stuff).
Anyway, in the end It's still a base to base evaluation. ;) Also depends on the comments, if they aren't many, i might add more, if it gets too much i might even just close the thread at one point.

You should put a link to one of your whitelist giveaways so people can check if they're in your list before anything.
This is the last whitelist gib you've done: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/tuDxB/breakout-recharged

You're in my whitelist since forever, and I am in yours.

However I'd like to clarify one thing. I rarely do public giveaways. However I do giveaways for the groups which make the winner allow to delete the giveaway in case something goes wrong (bad game, bad region, duped...) like LootBoy SG, Delete giveaway if key doesn't work, and I think it's also a rule in this new group Bundles Oldies (or a very similar name). I am not in any group which requires a constant in-group ratio, or regular gibs exclusive to the group; actually recently I discovered I was in a group with a rule I didn't like and I got out of it. But LB, Delete giveaway... Those groups are public in the sense that anyone can enter. The giveaways are public with group restrictions only. Some might think these are not technically public, and they are right; read more on the next paragraph about that.

The other kind of giveaways I do are invite only in public threads, and I'm not talking about events or trains. I mean threads like Don't like Bots, Community Word Game, Positive Thread, and such. They're invite only, I know, but anyone can enter the giveaway (if they comply with limitations of the giveaway like level or region) just by visiting those open threads. There are people who consider these also public, I also do, but there are also people who don't consider them public, and I think both sides have their good arguments and it's a kind of personal decision rather than a battle about who's right on this subject.

Well, as someone who was a student until not long ago, and is still merely a trainee, my ratio is a mess - which is exacerbated by the kind of groups I'm in. Since I fit everything else and my charm point is playing a lotta wins, I'm still chiming in.
I believe you've been in my WL for a while.

I understand but your last giveaway has been a while, is that changing soon? A bundle can be the price of a cup of coffee.
I myself speak and come from never having had a lot of cash myself (and okay i also was fortunate to have had tremorgames at one point).
