I no understand. You does help? :/

Certain answers are outright satire, meant to highlight the irrationality of certain declarations and the double-standard of how people view blacklist versus whitelist, even though both solely act as filters.
Primarily, however, this thread is meant to give a well-earned laugh to the users who've had to put up with a regular output of this sort of material, and many answers were chosen just for that effect.
( Just think, I could have included a "No reason"? Seriously??? You are a giver of the highest order. Welcome to whitelists everywhere...' option. :'D )
.
I apologize to anyone who finds this thread more annoying than amusing.
..unless you're one of the silly individuals whom have me whitelisted. You were asking for this, then. ~(°ヮ°~)

I keep being whitelisted without reason. What do you all think of that? :/

I wonder how popular it would be if I made a "seeking blacklist applications" thread.

Too much work. That would involve not only adding you to one list, but removing you from another.
One too many buttons for me to press. :X

A thread about it would certainly attract some "lovely" people, though. ;)

People've done it before. I know a few that do a "If you enter I blacklist you" approach to try and make people consider carefully which giveaway of the user they enter.
Blacklists can get pretty interesting as a gimmick, if you just accept them as a casual filter, the same way some people approach whitelists [eg, add a bunch of people for an event, then wipe the list when it's over].

I've been white listed by random people and I have no idea why maybe it's because they like my Tim Curry avatar same for the other list by people i've had zero interaction with i think some people have way to much free time.

I whitelist and un-whitelist (de-whitelist?) semi-randomly, I'll sometimes remove them after a giveaway or just after they've been on for a while, or other random reasons.

I could give you the reason, but that would require breaking the "no calling out rule". Anyway, I can assure you that with threads like this, you're certainly not going off my list.

Wow, that is just rude ;/. Don't worry, there's many people like that here, you just have to get used to this and live with that, I tell you. You wouldn't like to not be on whitelist of people like that anyway, right? No worries, though, I think if you will cry loud enough some good soul let you on their blacklist, so everything is fine! :D

Also, whitelisted XD So much fun.

I'm so power hungry, I'll whitelist you and you can't do anything about that, ha!

On more serious note in this not serious thread... I sometimes find myself on whitelists of people with whom I have not interacted (or at least I don't remember) and I ponder about their reasons, but I don't usually ask why, 'cause I don't want to sound ungrateful x__X I know it's silly, but can't help it.

I'm hungry for food right now, does this count as well? D:

Even when I'm in exact the same situation and decide to ask about it, it often ends in "you know what, I don't know. You had to do something which I found to be funny / helpful / etc. Lol " answer :D

food gives you power (well, energy to be precise), so it totally counts :D

maybe I don't miss out much by not asking then :D Still, I'm far more interested in people's reason for whitelist than for blacklist ;)

It legitimately confuses me and makes me feel weird [in that "I got a compliment but don't know how to react" way].
I wasn't entirely kidding with the premise of the thread :P

It's a real nuisance of late, since I don't even consider people for my whitelist anymore, since I'm using the Positive Thinking group alongside all whitelist giveaways while I work at trimming down the whitelist [I was a bit overeager, early on :P].

so every time I notice a new whitelist, I have to point out the group..
...which I'm terrible at managing time for join request management for. :'X
