announcement why getting Whiltelist/Blacklist

Whitelist for whatever reason.
Blacklist for whatever reason.
Good enough reason for me.

If someone blacklisted you, just get over it.

it's not about whitelist/blacklist
it's about WHY so i have a chance to redeem it (if it was my fault)
if not then, ill just walk...

Folks already know for the most part why I white/blacklist them but to force someone to explain why they don't want to give you free stuff is silly. Just let it go mate, there us better things to waste your time/energy thinking about.

There's no invalid reason to whitelist/blacklist someone. If you get blacklisted by someone, live with it. You can't do anything about it. The guy doesn't like you and that's that.

Anyway, I checked your profile and found out that you have won MAGIX PC Check & Tuning 2015 TWICE!!! That should be enough to figure out why people are blacklisting you.

Nobody has to give any explanation as to why they blocked you on this site (or anywhere actually).

I would like to have an option to write why i blacklisted someone as a note, bc users can change their username/avatar, is easy to forget why i did it, so it would be nice to have the chance to track it in a way that only i can see it.

No need to know why or who blacklisted/whitelisted me.
i once suggeseted a count of how many black/whitelisted me. to each his own reason.
i don't blacklist or whitelist. you are all the same to me, small pictures on my monitor ;)

Meh, I'd just like an option to put notes on for myself... not for anyone else to view.

Forcing ppl to put reason for blacklisting and for it to show to the blacklistee is going to just brew up tons of bad feeling and probably create arguments where there probably wouldn't have been one originally.

I would like the option. So as when people enter my GA's they can see why I blacklisted them.
Like not saying thank you after you won a giveaway. They might even learn.

Edit but only if stating a reason is optional
Edit2 the one white/blacklisted must not have an option to reply.

Well a quick view of your GA and reading some rules will tell you why

I have MANY reasons for Blacklisting people...from making idiotic comments to incessant annoying trolling (rather than clever trolling, that's fun to see), re-gifting, winning multiple copies of a game, trying to make GAs for free games, making misleading GAs...bitching about being blacklisted...winning multiple copies of a game...

i've already learned my lesson there
no need to show it again, that's when i was still a newbie
besides, it's not about me

anyway, vote YES is leading although not many people comment about it

One hand it would be nice to know if saying a certain something got you blacklisted. You could try to avoid repeating it in the future and ending up on more blacklists.
On the other hand the reason listed probably wouldn't say, "used some racial slur," it would just say, "asshole." Lazy people would probably just put something like potato just to fill the box.

On a certain idealistic level I support this - I think everyone deserves to know if they've been excluded from something, so they can take appropriate action - but other factors have to be considered, and I don't think it would be appropriate for Steamgifts.

0YBCN-ZAZ3W-LP4Jzero is it taken ?

if then you could force ppl to write reasons other than: "because i can" it would be a nice idea.. but in general i got to say

it is completely up to yourself to black/whitelist someone.. and it doesnt really make a difference does it?

I'd like this feature to be added. Just so I know why I've white/black listed someone. I tend to forget stuff a lot.

On old SG, I had my blacklist in a handy txt file with reasons and stuff (even including a fancy redeem system depending on why you got on the blacklist. On new SG it's just too simple to blacklist people so I no longer update that txt.
(Of course I haven't done a GA in ages so no one really gives a shit anyway)

So no, I don't think knowing the reasons would make anything better, I personally don't care on whos blacklist I am or for what reasons, they had their reasons, accept it and move on.

I think that noting the reason of blacklisting, visible only for yourself (the creator of the blacklist) could be a good feat.

This was already proposed and discussed, and judging by arguments used, will not be implemented. Personally I'd like to have it as private for my eyes only, so I don't have to keep it off-site.

Asking in public for BL reason, you should expect nothing more but general reasons. Otherwise it would be calling out. And first thing, you should ask yourself what you could have done wrong and, before asking for removal, what you did to make it right.

Brilliant idea, it's interesting what the SG staff think about it?

I mean i give close to no fuck bout what random scrub on the internet thinks of me , and what is a good enough reason to blacklist people.
However there are those special childs with brain issues that just blacklist you out of nowhere , and don't even bother responding when you ask them why :)
I gave up on trying anyway . Its like 3 times that i wanted to enter some Forum GA , and i could not cause the Creator seem to have blacklisted me for some reason ...
Funnyest thing was the 1st time was when my account was like 2 days old and i haven't even used that place at all :)

forcing people to give a reason for it is honestly a waste of time
