Who is Responsible for the Steamgifts Community-Advent giveaways

Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous what people blacklist you for. But hard to be angry at people for doing so since in the end it's their choice. What's fine for me isn't fine for others. Though at the same time it's a bit funny when people also complain about people randomly blacklisting when using blacklist features for their own reasons themselves. I dunno. Blacklisting is just a controversial subject on this site. It strips away a lot from a person and it used to be that it allowed people to have their cake and eat it too, though luckily it's not the same way. It's so polarizing that even mentioning a blacklist can label you as the hero or the villain even without context.

Well, people can do what they want. I personally don't use the feature, but I'm not interested in removing the right for others to bar people from their things based on some arbitrary thing.

You weren't joking. I almost regret it now, but at least there's a lot less giveaways to look over.

I used to think like that, and blacklist people for "not sharing" or "being selfish" (or worse names),
But a post topic I saw recently made me realize how different people on this sire are, and how someone who might look like a leecher, can sometime be a single mom raising a couple of kids that doesn't have that much money to spend on games. Or someone living in a poor country, that cannot afford to spend his monthly salary for a single $60 game.
So I have since added people to my whitelist, with less than spectacular ratios, for this very reason.
Not because they were generous and I want to be generous with them back.
But because they need this, and this is why I want to be generous with them.

Apparently not. It's eaier to open a new thread where someone will tell him what he wants.

Couldn't find one despite looking for a few pages. I might've missed it. If you mean the giveaway holiday event, then I've read that thread over. The one I'm referring to is the one where you open all the doors.

Helpful list, thank you. I was aware that not saying thank you was a thing, and I'm actually guilty of it myself. At one point I used to do it often, but I kept forgetting. And by the times I remember, it usually feels strange to do it a week after. This list you linked just cements further that it really doesn't matter too much for what reason. Kinda makes me feel a bit bad, but I guess that's just how it is.

"people start to notice that you've drunk 87 drinks"
What an oddly specific random number of drinks, hmmm, hmmm...

and they start to hide their drink from you.

Inb4 you get comments saying "Well, someone has to drink them and we're the reason this party even exists!" Not a comment towards the OP of the thread, just a shitty excuse made by a bunch of people who didn't share.

Like when someone drink the champagne brought by the guests and then say: "I brought these beers".

all this talking about drinks is not a big help against my hangover ^^

To be honest, I was really just wondering about the holiday event. I only mentioned the blacklist part because that was what piqued my curiosity on who is responsible for the giveaways, though I never expected to get a specific identity on who. I didn't expect fellows would make that into the topic instead.
