I have noticed that 6 people have blacklisted me overall and I'm curious why. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

It surely isn't for your ratio .... impressive and well done there! :)

Might be for your previous 2 topics, even though you were new some people just think those are "dumb" questions. I mean the Guidelines and FAQ have the answers but if you are new, you need reassurance, you think your in the wrong and want to right it ... asking how to level up though ... that usually gets a fair few blacklists.

Other reasons ... well here are some old topics with a bunch:

https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/LibGc/
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/zozaU/
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/JKGwC/
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/pxlgT/

Honestly, people blacklist for valid reasons and completely illogical ones, you're level 7 and have only 6 blacklists ... you are doing better than the VAST majority of SG users.

Thanks so much! Also, to be fair, I was very new when I created those discussions XD

I do appreciate you pasting the links to some of the already made discussions about this. I only posted this because I'm curious on what I am doing wrong since my ratio isn't really a problem and in some of the discussions, the OP's issue was ratio mostly.

P.S. I added you to my whitelist :)

Don't think about it... Any reason at all.. Some might blacklist you for creating this post because you could have read previous posts about it instead...

Well I've read the other ones and most of the issues we're ratio... And mine isn't. I was just curious :(

No idea either, I sometimes notice I get blacklisted by people I haven't interacted with before. Interestingly you're actually on my whitelist!

Opening such a thread is a reliable way to get on some blacklists. I blacklist people violating SG rules, not doing giveaways for years, doing group only giveaways exclusively, doing region restricted giveaways only while entering global giveaways without qualms, being a person who in my perception I wouldn't feel comfortable to give a game or anything else for that matter.

You have 396 wins and you played literally zero of them, you didn't even farm cards from them. I guess that's the reason in your case.

I'm slowly trying to play my backlogs. I'm not quite there yet but I will be playing them. I buy too much games and not have enough time to play xD but, I do thank you for letting me know. I will be better.

Thanks! I also do use a randomizer app on my phone which I added all the games I own from steam. Just in case I don't know what to play or install next. I'm just guessing that the games I've won here haven't been picked from it that's why I haven't played it.

You can do randomized suggestions on SteamDB ("What about a random game?" section down below), it's much easier than adding each title one by one

In your case it's full random, nothing you can do.
In my case, i'm on +20 for giving my opinion or telling too much about my life here and there

I could blacklist only people who would be a hassle to provide feedbacks, but it's not worth it, i'll never meet them a second time anyway.

Someone have mentioned how bad my backlog is in this thread.. and I didn't realize this, but I apparently have not played a single game I've won here. Which I thought I did. But, it was good to know. I'll start playing them for sure once I have extra time.

I only blacklist people who have blaclisted me.

Seems only fair to reciprocate.

One person got blacklisted for bringing up why I had blacklisted them during an active GA, I hadn't but did for that.

Other than that I've seen no reason to blacklist people.

How do I see who blacklisted me?

Enter giveaways, be told you can't because that user has blacklisted you. Go back to where you tried to enter and open that entry in an incognito window. Copy and paste their profile back to your logged in window and blacklist them there.

That's how I do it,if there are other ways I'm open to them.

Again, I only reciprocate and so could be on others' blacklists but they don't post GAs publicly for me to find out.

Ah okay, I won't do that anyway. Just curious. I only blacklist people who have won my giveaway that posted literally 0 games. I stopped doing it though. Everyone deserves a chance in my opinion :D

Everyone has their own ideas as to how to use lists.

I leave them alone personally as they seem like trouble in the making but I understand people wanting to use them and am happy that they have the option to.

People can blacklist me for whatever reason they want, I'm happy that they have that option and wish it would transfer onto bots also - but we're not there yet.

All I do is recognise their opinion and share it with them :)

From my understanding, you can create a giveaway specifically for your whitelisted people.

That will be my next challenge then!

I've done one group GA (I was added into it and again, reciprocated) but mostly public, trains or puzzles.

I'll need to add more people to my whitelist before I get around to it though, so might take a while ;)

Ah, it's cool that you do that. I'm too lazy to make trains XD If I can commend you, I would. I love trains :D

you can do group and whitelist giveaways together.

That's great to know, and they overlap and so you can keep both groups in without them having to be part of the group and/or whitelist?

Yes, they need to be part of the group/s or whitelist.
I mean it's quite simple it's under "6.Who Can Enter" if you create giveaways you can't miss it...

Things get complicated quickly for people like me.

Good to know though and I'll give it a whirl once I've amassed enough people :)

82% of the CV of your giveaways is in groups, and from a skim through they're all small groups. So some might consider your ratio inflated and that you're gaming the system (intentionally or not).

Best way to avoid bots honestly. And I don't have to chase them via email just for them to mark the game as received. You get tired of it at some point.

I do get that reasoning, but I still think it's unfair to be gaining ratio creating giveaways that most people can't access. I'm in one small private group and I feel guilty enough about that when I'm being lazy and not creating enough public giveaways :)
I tend to just avoid level 0 and 1 giveaways. I think I've only once had to chase anyone.

Creating drama under my GA.

My current blacklist is empty since I prefere whitelisting ppl, instead of blacklisting

Same, whitelisting is more fun! Though I sometimes put people temporary on my blacklist, for example if they say something really really terrible on the forums, but that are rare cases.

Becz the admin introduced a feature, poured their blood, sweat and tears into its creation. And we as honest, humble, super cute, well-intentioned users must use it with sincerity to respect the work put behind it. Nothing less, nothing more, and certainly nothing personal.😈
