I don't even know how to figure out who blacklisted me. The guy just replied to one of my coments with "Blacklisted, I don't like you" or something like that, it was only few days ago though.

You find it out randomly.
Or, if you are bored, have time, and curious, you can just start opening every GA from the site archive.

Hey man, I was just peeking around and I noticed your username. Are you italian?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, this comes from the latin "note" "good" which was used as the postscriptum N.B. in the 18th century in England, France and everywhere else I think, to mean "Please note:"
Comment has been collapsed.
I know it very well, the "N.B." notation is still used in italian and is not felt as obsolete. That's why I asked you that ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
This is not obsolete, and this is not Italian, but Latin, and is still used in letters or emails.
Comment has been collapsed.
Man, I am Italian and I know that N.B. (Nota Bene) is Latin, but coincidentally it has the same writing and the same meaning in Italian (Nota and Bene are both very frequent italian words).
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh okay. What are Nota and Bene used for in italian out of curiosity?
Comment has been collapsed.
"Nota" in latin is just imperative, in italian is the first person singular of present "notare" (notice, be aware of), and "bene" is the adverb for well, good.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd say most people that adamantly blacklist people for differing opinions never even do giveaways. xD
I for one love having debates and disagreements so society as a whole can figure out what's right/best, but wantonly blacklisting just because of the disagreement is stupid.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh well, I could say it's stupid myself. But when you reach your peak and get a high temper, everything becomes right to you suddenly.

Lol, the only way to figure out if a particular guy blacklisted you is by opening his user page and clicking on on of his giveaways.
There is no actual displayable list of people who blacklisted you. :(

I have already multiple blacklists because I argued, and at least one I have no idea about the reason.

Btw, what are your main language in Morocco? Just curious...
Comment has been collapsed.
Unfortunately becuase it's the worst country ever existed. Can you believe our only three Internet companies blocked Voice over IP? Without mentioning a lot off other awful things the goverment do.
Morocco's main language is Arabic. However, Arabs are not the majority of the country, there is a race called Berbers(comes from Barbarians as the Roman used to call us), and it's called Amazigh in Arabic and in our language(It means free men and it pronounces ahma zegh).
Comment has been collapsed.
I had to google VoIP cos I didn't know what it is :O It turns out my country is in top 5 countries where VoIP is the most popular and I know nothing about it lol. Our goverment was always aweful as well but nowadays it is just unbelievable what they are doing... Reminds me of Orwell books.
So I assume you can speak in 3 languages (at least)? :) Do you consider emigration if you feel bad in your country?
Another dose of curiosity: what do you think is the best thing in your country? Despite all the mess your goverment does?
Comment has been collapsed.
I speak Arabic, French(it's a little bit rusty) and English. I can't speak my mother language because I lived among Arabs so I never had the chance to learn it(It was added to schools later because of some activists, it was too late for me though). If it comes to studies and a good future, I'd definitely immigrate, but I'd always come back here because after all it's my home(I've never called it my country, I call it home). That's why my answer to your last question is tthat the best thing in this country is its people. Despite being an Arabic and Islamic country, Morocco is the only country marked terrorism-clean in the Arab world. It has beautiiful landscapres, forests and desert(Which is also another case, a group called Polizario claims they own the desert, it's called Western Sahara by them if you google that).
Comment has been collapsed.
So are you still studying? Have you ever took the trip to Europe? :)
You made me feel like I need to visit Morocco soon :) It'd be nice if we could meet if I'll ever get there :D Do you live somewhere near Rabat or Casablanca?

I'm studying Computer Engineering in a universtiy called Cadi Ayyad(The uni is in Marrakesh but my school is in Safi, if you heard of those). I live around 200km from Casablanca, though I move between two cities since my school is in a different one, and sure I could be your guide.
Comment has been collapsed.
Polisario is the rightful owner of Western Sahara. Most of the inhabitants want independence, but Morocco refuses to do a referendum despite having promised so in the past.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're funny. I can say %100 you've never visited southern Morocco, or the country at all. Your so-called referndum was done in 2011. The king issued a new consitution and %40 of the voters(voters who agreed) were southern people, please get your facts right. Despite the fact the government already gave them permission to make their own state but under the king's reign(More like federal states, seperate states but with allegiance to the president), they refued. Moreover, if you go through the past long long ago. The so-called Western Sahara, Mortania and Eastern Algerian Sahara belonged to Morocco for over 1000 years, until the desert was colonised by Spain, once it was lifted, Spain handed the the territory to the Moroccan government. Muritania also wanted to take over the Sahara, but they stopped claiming it because they were also given their own independence because of the Moroccan king Mohammed V. The so-called Western Sahra has less than %20 of the Moroccan inahbitants, %90 of which pledge their allegiance to the Moroccan ruling family. Polisario are just old Algerian military members that are no longer wanted for their duty, the Algerian government funds them and they live in tents.
Comment has been collapsed.
Convenient narrative your government gives you. Ever considered the possibility that governments don't always tell the pure truth? Yes, they don't want federalization. They want independence. You say 90% of people want to stay in the country? How could you know if you haven't held a referendum? If what you say is true, why NOT hold it? Your government is afraid because it knows the south wants independence, so they pretend to play nice by offering deals they know will be rejected and lie to children in schools telling them an untrue narrative.
And yes I know those lands used to be part of Morocco in the past, so what? Everyone who was alive back then is dead now, and of the people who are left most want independence. I believe it is a people's right to decide their future for themselves.
Comment has been collapsed.
You said it yourself, people decide their fate and they already did. Do you even know what Polisario does to people? My grandfather was held hostage by them for 10 years, he died in their camps. If you go through Youtube for their videos, you'll find it they're nothing less than ISIS, they use terrorism to percuade people in the South. Would you really think a country would give a major part of its land to a bunch of terrorists, and not only terrorists but also old Algerian military members. Nontheless that the majority of the countires involved in the UN do NOT consider Polisario as a legitimated state but rather a group of resistance.

She didn't need to say "I love you" back, but it doesn't hurt be considerate to others, especially one that keeps her in such high regard.
Comment has been collapsed.
She didn't ask for that thing, why would she appreciate it? Sorry but your logic seems to me like some guys say about rape victims "she should be happy he considered her too hot to resist" or something like that. People in general just don't like pushy behavior by people they don't really see as a good candidate for that kind of relationship, is it too hard to understand?

Some do. And even if they don't, after first time of saying it, it should be rather obvious if they enjoy it or not.

Sometimes it's hard to tell irl, let alone online. We do not know what she responded the first three times.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, if she was excited and happy 3 times, and blocked 4th time, I'd think it's weird indeed. Too weird to actually assume that's how it was...
Comment has been collapsed.
I just realised you guys are talking about me. Therefore, I might just jump in with few arguments. First of all, I agree with what you said, that she didn't ask for it and I shouldn't insist. The thing is, I indeed loved her to the the point that I did not ask anything from her, I never cared about her relationships(with everyone in general) or even intended having her as a girlfriend, I just had a big respect to her, she was rather unique. That's why when I told her I lover her, I was expecting more or less of gratitude, as she was often mean to me. She used to get mad at certain stuff and usually included me as well, that was not acceptable by me. The simple thing is, I've put myself in her shoes and I accepted who she was(She loved somebody else but they broke up and I was totally fine with it, because people can change). Furthermore, as I stated before that she was in a relationship prior to that, she felt devistated, I knew she as because I could relate. I thought that telling her I love her(And I meant it) would actually relief her and make her see that the world hasn't ended, but she didn't accept it because like the way I understand her, she's a lot like me. She was dedicated to that single person and I coudn't change that, that's why I retreated peacfully and I told her that I wouldn't ever bother her if that's the case.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sounds good, but still, 4 times? Didn't she tell you that it's not cool before blocking or what...
Comment has been collapsed.
Honestly, she did. And I managed to keep myself for over a year, then I couldn't hold it anymore. It's just hard to love someone and you see them just getting further away from your hands. I had to make a move.

A whole year? That's a long time. I still go with cold and heartless.

Well, at least because of her I managed to develop a better way of thinking. Changed my perspective about nearly everything and I'm more cautious now regarding people in general. I keep my distance and I never let my self get attached to anyone

As he said, he was no random guy, they went back a long time. I'm not saying she shouldn't turn him down, just show some degree of respect for his feelings.
Comment has been collapsed.
Blocking him was the most respectful thing to do in that case. She let him go free.
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree with you, don't know what she did the first three times but she didn't block him until the fourth time, so she tried some other ways and it clearly wasn't working. It's better for him this way, now he can move on.
Comment has been collapsed.
The problem is people think that loving someone makes them entitled to have that person love or at least respect them back. It doesn't. Someone loving you means absolutely nothing if you don't love them back, or at least respect them. If someone that you're in love with loves you back, yes, that's great and awesome and enjoyable. But just a random person, who thinks they own you because they like you? What, are you some flower who should be honored the king chose to pick her? You're an individual human being, and if you don't want to be with someone that's your choice, and if they insist to be with you anyway that's at the very least meaningless and at the worst bordering on creepy.

Being blacklisted from all steamgifts giveaways is called being banned.
As for the more popular thing, It is guaranteed that the site will become more popular, it is one of those things, you tell a friend and they tell a friend and so on, it is inevitable.

I still enter just as many contests as I did several months ago,

Haven't seen anything saying I am blocked. So I guess steamgifts is more popular than I thought :)

You being blacklisted wouldn't have any affect on your win odds, assuming you're entering the same number of gibs..

Shadow ban? I like this idea. It can be the perfect punishment for those who use auto-join scripts :-)

If the admins wanted they could do what scrap.tf recently did and make a giveaway with no entry button, only people using scripts could join (or if they inspected element, but there was a warning). Everyone who joined the raffle, got a permaban.

the problem with shadowbans though, is they almost always end up being abused, some mod doesnt like someone, bzz, never win again. talk smack about the site, bzz, never win again. It just sets up a grey area bordering on fixing the winners.

Yes, that's a good point. It would be fine if the shadow ban it can be automated, but then you might as well permaban the user.
