Understood, and reading from other comments people like the lines, I've chosen 5 layouts we could go for in the future, I'll choose from popular opinion on the matter on which heading most people like:

Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Option 5:
5!
 
Next up - a copy of the Magicka Wizard Wars Apprentice Pack. I'm including three DLC codes (including ones for the Gamespot/MMOBomb/RockPaperShotgun robes) as well. Good for collectors.

I will PM you after to send you the DLC codes - they're included in the gift message, but I think it may have cut off due to character limits.

Enjoy.

I would go with 5. I like the filter but don't want anything on top of the actual screenshot.

We don't have a white list options and I didn't want people to win that I never saw before, at least not in this giveaway. I was pretty lenient with people above a certain posting count though. No mercy for people with 6 or less posts though.

Dang, that makes me sad. I post here as much as I can, and try to give reviews when I can. Oh well.

Happy holidays SteamGAF! I know I haven't posted here all that much for the past month or so but this is still one of the only threads I regularly read. Shovel Knight is my favorite game of this year available on PC. It is just great design all around. Figured there might be a person or two after it here considering they haven't done a sale on it yet.

I went through the posting lists of this thread and the last and blocked everyone that I didn't recognize by name. You wouldn't believe how many people are posting here (apparently over 800).

Considering you're essentially creating a very selective whitelist from a blacklist you're probably better off just making a non-ModBot raffle for users of your own choosing and post the winner in the thread.

Happy holidays SteamGAF!

For Shovelry! Nice one.

Aww, I blocked so many good people. Ok, but this can be a good thing. Here's the list. I already sorted some out. Help me to clean the list of everyone cool. Then we can get a list out of it that can help to reject people who are not part of the community if anyone has the need for it for whatever reason.

I actually do this sometimes. But sometimes I just feel like using different methods.

Very nice given that there is no deal for the game this sale.

but man, it's gotta be a lot of work keeping everything up to date, making new threads, formatting, making images.

really appreciate your hard work orange! you're a good dude.

Don't want to start any drama, but this goes against the spirit of ModBot. If you want to make a giveaway for a small group of people find a better method. A "cool people" list is a really bad idea.

And I'm not only saying it because I'm one of the first people on the list ;_;

EDIT: Also the next two pages will be about the list

I vote 2. Looks sexy.

edit: lmao I'm blocked on the list. How do you even have 700+ people on there? How long did that take? Why?

edit: makes sense if it's just a whitelist but seems like an awkward way to do it haha

f... r... e... s..[red] :)

but wow, admit it. you just copied the list of every poster in a steam thread and just deleted folks you knew by name out of it! you didn't write these names yourself. too many for you to know for a single person. you just copied the list of every poster via the forum function and deleted folks you knew by name. that is it i think.
people who read their names shouldn't get sad or something. your names were automatically added. not intentionally by chariot.

If you sorted the list in alphabetical order you'd find out many users were blocked at least twice.

Doesn't the Blacklist feature work by determining which folks are blocked manually by users? Would be pretty amusing if a lot of people are suddenly blacklisted because someone attempted to essentially make a whitelist hahaha

I like Option 3, but Option 5 is nice as well.

I consider myself cool, but that's a personal opinion, of course.

Mhm, you may be right, but I despite my choice of words I didn't mean to create a elite. Thing is, that I really don't like some of the people who only come in the thread, make five posts and take some games. My imagination is to have list of blocking a huge chunk of people that are not contributing to the community at all.
f... r... e... s..[red] :)

This is what I did. I copied the list of the posters in this and the other thread, deleted the postcount number and added BLOCK before them, while deleting who I knew. Obviously pretty sloppy, but it was only intended for that giveaway anyways at that point.

If you sorted the list in alphabetical order you'd find out many users were blocked at least twice.
Yeah, that happened since I copied both the lists from this and from the last thread.

it still burns like salt in my eyes.
 
^^ :(

guys. use your head.

it ain't possible for chariot to know 700+ people by name. with most only posting a handful at best to boot.

you know there is a function on gaf to see every poster in a thread, right?

he obviously copied that list and just deleted people out if he knew by name.

really no need to take it personal.

i sent you my naughty and nice list

i probably skipped over some nice people but wasn't really gonna read 800 names with my full undivided attention

well at least i've made it on the shit list even though being absent for wall of shame, i know i was doing something right
:<

don't worry you'll always be on my happy list no matter what!

But how do you decide that? I recgonize at least 3/4 of the first 50 entries of your list and some of them are awesome people who contribute a lot. And if we make it a list created by the community we turn this into a popularity contest which will not end well at all. For a "private giveaway" just make something and send it only to people you want to include. ModBot is for the entire thread.

@ Stumpokapow or whoever knows: does this affect the community blacklist? Would be an awful consequence if so. What a sad stirring of the pot during Christmas.

5 really is the best option ( &#865;° &#860;&#662; &#865;°)

Sans lines looks best.

But a great majority of the people on your list HAVEN'T done that, just saying.

It's not "Take it personal Wednesday"?
 
it does though. some people here were taking it personal when it obviously wasn't.
knowing they landed on the list automatically does change a lot to those people i'd say.

He only removed people that he knew or "contributed to the community" to be part of the giveaway. How is that not personal.

@ Stumpokapow or whoever knows: does this affect the community blacklist? Would be a crappy practice if so.

To clarify, I sincerely doubt that a single giveaway would be enough to cause people to got to the blacklist, but if a person has been blocked a fair few times and was also on that list, it is theoretically possible - assuming I am correct in that the blacklist option is a collation of people frequently blocked as is described -

BLACKLIST

This will apply the COMMUNITY block list to your giveaway. ModBot calculates users that have been frequently blocked by other users, and blocks those users from your giveaway. Want to avoid scammers but don't know who the scammers are? Use this rule.

I think that it could be handled, since it would be about actually posting in this thread, but you are probably right that this could get messy easily.

But a great majority of the people on your list HAVEN'T done that, just saying.
Yes, as I said, I was creating the list on a whim and pretty sloppy.

Ah, yes. This could be a problem.

Ok, I am sorry guys. Take it as a strange happening for that one giveaway and forget the idea, it wasn't very well though through anyways.

Did anyone else look at Chariot's blacklist image and not recognize a single name?

Either I'm really inattentive or there are a shit-ton of people who show up with a few posts and then leave.

I recognize some of those and I actually wondered why they'd be blocked, as they don't strike me as bad people. Like, did they do something bad?
 
Well, they are Chariot's games to raffle at the end of the day and his choice to include or exclude whomever he wants to win it.

That being said, doing a blanket block on so many and then asking the thread why some games weren't taken is like locking the door and then asking the people outside why they don't come inside.

Isn't it a little crazy to set a blacklist from people who actively post in here with only a certain segment possible to enter a giveaway. I mean all it takes is a complete newcomer who has never posted in a Steam thread before to swoop in, make 5 posts to qualify for the no lurker rule, maybe even throw up some bundle junk to get past the pay it forward rule and walk away and never come back here again while x amount of active members are ineligible. Not that it's any of my business though.
