Maybe he/she lost his mother, so he would take it personally.

That's a really, really good point.
One should always be careful, especially when dealing with people they don't know really well, not to touch upon a sensitive topic.
If someone made a joke about a family member I've lost, even though they didn't know it, t would still hurt a lot.

Well, yeah, they kinda asked for it. And you delivered.
Same goes for you, though, you kinda asked for being blacklisted. And they delivered.

We should whiteliste you for that joke :)
Anyway... How do you know how many people have blacklisted you?
Comment has been collapsed.
The only way I know is when I clicked on the giveaway again, it told me I was blacklisted and couldn't see it.

That joke just landed you on my "clear" list buddy! >_<
**Clear being neither black nor white*** :P

As you should be! The honor of yo momma has to be protected!
In all seriousness, I have a friend who makes lame dirty yo momma jokes all the time. It's more of a reflex by now. Who can spin something into a lame yo momma joke first, that's the joke. We pretend to insult each other in over the top or white trash pathetic ways, it can get pretty funny.
We can do that because we know each other long and well enough, but more importantly, you can tell by our voices it's just fun. Going at a stranger like that may be misunderstood, and if they don't even hear our voices and just read plain text, they'll interpret it from their experience. So unless they share that kind of dumb humor, it's no surprise they don't read another layer into this.

I wouldn't blacklist you, but I would think you were being immature. I can see why someone would blacklist you though. Peoples parents sometimes are sensitive subjects, so unless you know the person, it's kinda something to avoid.

I prefer "Deez nuts" jokes nowadays.
"What's your favorite animal?"
"DEEZ NUTS!"
Makes little sense but I still enjoy it.

Jokes do not translate well over Internet. You can't convey emotion over texts. It is to be expected.
Just explain that you were joking, if he still can't take it then say fuck off. At least you already tried.

How do you find out whose blacklists you're on? I didn't know you could do that... :s
Edit: Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't even know how to find my own blacklist. Wut.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would've blacklisted you, too. I've deleted a few good friends on XBL because they failed to realize that I was being serious when I told them to never make that joke towards me, again. I told them they'd be deleted, but they still decided to have another go.
There's nothing worse that cracking those pathetic & immature jokes to a stranger you don't quite know.

at least you gave them a warning, after that its on them.

At least you know, why you were blacklisted... In most cases I have no idea of reasons.

blacklisting is such bullshit. the idea is not bad, but it get's abused by so many people. lately there was a guy who blacklisted everyone and their mamma (see what i did there ^^). for instance, he blacklisted people who had significantly more wins than giveaways. but he had 40 more wins himself. so if you ask me, he should have blacklisted himself. ;)
you make a bad joke? blacklisted! i don't like your avatar - blacklisted! you disagree on something?! blacklisted, blacklisted, blacklisted!!
if you ask me, some people really overdo it...

and is it not my right, that i can complain about what i dislike?
Comment has been collapsed.
It absolutely is. I didn't say that you had no right to complain. You have every right to do so, in fact, considering that you are not only a part but also a contributor to this system. But just like you, I also have a right to state what I think. I, myself, only have about 12 people (give or take) blacklisted, but everyone should get that right.
As for the reasons for blacklisting that you listed:
-
A joke derived from making fun of others can be construed as poor form. Sure, you and I can take it as a joke but some people can't. We don't know what their situation is or maybe they're just over-sensitive. Since there's nothing wrong with being over-sensitive, we can't fault them for that.
-
I agree that blacklisting just because you don't like someone's avatar is a stupid reason to blacklist.
-
For having more wins, many people usually do that if said person has gotten way more than he/she has given. I don't do that but I can see why some would. They want to give something to those that haven't gotten much. Sure, the way they go about it maybe flawed.
-
And a disagreement is not a suitable ground for a blacklist, provided that one is civil and polite.
All that is stated above is a personal opinion. Sorry, that it went so long though. :)

I couldn't agree more, blacklist is a tool not a game.
Blacklisting people for fun or for revenge will render this tool obsolete.
I've a list of 20 people, 18 of them (that's 90%) are scammers / regifters / constant SG rule-breakers in general. I think that the idea behind this tool was exactly that, imho. Let's keep it formal and be serious about it. ;)

Yeah, dont get me wrong, i like most of this community but some members are way over sensitive.
Does it matter?...Not really. People use them as a way of making others suffer, but thats not what their for, at the end of the day, you are just one person out of more than 80000 active members, it's meaningless
But hey, its not my blacklist, they can do whatever they want

... for a "yo mamma" joke, haha!
The description in the giveaway said "What's your favorite animal?" so they kinda asked for it.
I guess some people can't take a joke :)
