So I'm on 3 people's whitelists. Wooh! Only I can't seem to find out who has whitelisted me? Great to see that people are enjoying the content, but I've only been able to track down one of them to whitelist back.

Which got me thinking...

Why do you whitelist? Do you try and whitelist people back who whitelist you? Do you whitelist anyone whose giveaway you win? What etiquette do you follow?

How long is your whitelist?

View Results
Empty. I am strong, and whitelisting is a sign of weakness.
Short. I am here to win, and sometimes alliances must be made.
Medium. I am the balanced judge of Steamgifts. Some pass, others fail.
Long. I love all creatures and all posts. Steamgifts is a wonderful place of love.

I whitelist people who seem nice on the forums, and not really because they've gifted more than they won or whatever-- I feel that goes against the whole purpose of being on steamgifts.

If you're not making whitelist giveaways, the only purpose is that other people can feel nice about being whitelisted more. Not entirely a bad thing =D

I tend to whitelist people that have contributed to the site, by giving a lot or helping out on the forums.

Empty, but my reasons have nothing to do with the ones in the poll.

I have the same number in my whitelist and blacklist. And the reason is very vague.
Please don't mind if you're in either of them.

I whitelist people who aren't leechers and who are actually polite and kind. There's one of them so far.

I whitelist people I have talked to more than a few times, people who have been very helpful to me or others, or just all around good people. If someone whitelists me and I know they did I'll whitelist them back. Even after all that I only have 10 ish people whitelisted so far. I use my blacklist pretty sparingly, I only blacklist rude people and people that win my giveaways and are breaking numerous rules. That's just not cool.

I have hardly done anything with my whitelist. I have less than a handful whitelisted who I chatted with and thought were nice people (and had decent ratios).

i have a little under 200 people whitlisted and try to do at least a couple whitelist Ga's per month if money permits that month,
i try to pick people who have given a lot to the community and whos attitudes i agree with here on steam gifts,and on the other side of the coin i have only blacklisted 17 all for good reasons in my mind:)

Currently empty, because of an event. But previously I whitelisted people who were nice, funny, active on the forums and helpful. Still need to add everyone I removed back on to it, be procrastinating though -.-

I have 116 whitelisted people. I don't remember why most of them were whitelisted. But once someone is on they are on. Same with my blacklist.

Actually I don't remember why any of them are whitelisted. Or who they are. This is embarrassing. Here, have a whitelist. But i'll forget soon.

Same here. That's why I wrote my User Notes script. It let's you add a little note to a user to remember why you whitelisted/blacklisted him.

I don't really bother with the white-list,
The black-list keeps me more wondered,
I mean in march I got black-listed a lot, I don't know why,
Funny tho, I wasn't much online that month =/
Never figured out what happened.
