Call it courtesy or just common sense, but in my opinion, if you won a game you should at least thank the person who gave you the game. Moreover, games given on SG are (usually) not free and a little gratitude goes a long way (in life too).

On public GAs I usually blacklist the winners who didn't thank me (after they activate the game they won).

In a recent GA, 3 users won the game. None of the 3 thanked me (I usually wait more than a day after the game was marked as received). The first 2 I blacklisted them without much of a thought. The 3rd winner however contributed with quite a lot of GAs and that gave me pause. On the one hand not saying thanks is rude but on the other hand the user is clearly a generous person.

I'm curious: what would you do?

I wonder how many people are going to blacklist him for creating such a thread

I didn't want to pick any of the other answers so I choose this

i think you should do whatever you want, if you want to blacklist someone that's fine, if you want to whitelist them it is also fine, i just don't understand why people make a big deal out of it, i do not think just because that's the way i think makes it not a big of a deal for others, but in the end whatever you decide to think about is what you'll think about, and a subject like this is pretty retarded imo, bottom line, who gives a fudge?(no really, who does? i want to eat some fudge cake :D).

i recall an incident that happend quite a while ago(i was level 2 or so) i made a public gib, and after i saw it had around 12 entries without a single thank you i wrote, i'll appreciate a thanks, i do not like blacklisting people(or something along these lines), and went to bed, the next morning i had around 400 entries with 400 thank you notes and it just made me realize how shallow it was, you don't even know if a bot is writing a thank you, you can't feel the gesture, its just a couple of letters, so what's the point?
don't get me wrong, when i win a game i always thank the giver because i feel like i need to thank for something that i've received, but just because i think that way doesn't mean everyone thinks the same way, i've blabbed quite a bit, time to go to bed, nighty night =p.

I know what I'm going to do. I'm just curious of what other users think.

Wait until you do a whitelist only and someone wins and doesn't say Thanks.

Again on one hand I placed them on there because I liked/respected/loved their ratio/was in a good mood, on the other not getting even a thanks from a winner kind of brings me down. (usually it just makes me take a break from making GAs because I feel unappreciated or something... or because I'm a cat... it's one of those)
