Is Shnoop.com not welcome on deals.woot?

Jun 13, 2012 2:20 PM

I posted (what I thought was) a good deal on Wonderbras (3 for $24 w/free shipping.) I had an amusing comment posted, and then POOF it was gone. Both the deal and the comment I made are gone from my tab. I searched, and see no deals from Shnoop more recent than a month ago. What gives? I know people post deals from ALL these similar sites, like Tanga, 1saleaday, Justdeals, etc, even though everyone can find them on their own. I posted an actual good deal, considering the Bras (which my wife loves) go for $15-20 a piece on Amazon and in Walmart. 3 for under $25 shipped is a sweet deal. (Still available under "Yesterday's Shnoop", BTW)

So, what's up with that?

Must have been something else going on, as a quick check shows Shnoop deals listed. Did your deal break any of the deals.woot commandments?

The check I did came up only with deals a month old or older...

It was a straightforward deal of the day. The one comment made was humorous, but not offensive.

Standard requests, here: Please post the link to the deal, so that @jumbowoot (or his minions) is able to review the link, and either explain why it was deleted, or tell you to post it again.

YMMV

@shrdlu: Can't post the link because it was deleted. Can't post it again because it's a deal of the day.

@tcayer: You can indeed post the link to the page, since you said it was still available as yesterday's deal. No one can tell you why it was deleted unless we see what it was (and it will be much easier for you to post the details, than for us to guess what it might have been). The big guy's already been notified (via my last comment), so he'll be around in a bit, but he's more likely to respond if there's more detail in your description.

That one?

Please re-post.

All told.

@shrdlu: I think the poster meant the deleted post's item was still available on the schnoop site as a "yesterday's deal."

@magic cave: I understood what he meant. When someone wants to know why something's deleted, or whether a site's been banned, then they need to give the most information possible. Except for JW, we're all just unpaid nice folks, trying to be helpful. We can't guess at what an item was (although I see that JW did that).

When asking a question of this type, the burden is on the OP to provide enough details, so that the maximum help may be provided.

So it goes.

@shrdlu: Yeah, it helps when we don't need to break out crystal balls because then someone always wants to go bowling with them and then a few hours later it's like "man, these shoes are stinky" and "who drank all the beer" and "oh, we're still not sure what to say because there's not enough info to go on" and then it's all looking for needles in haystacks.

Nobody wins in that situation, so I like your suggestion of including maximum info for speedier answers.

What would be nice is if the mods would let the poster know why something was deleted, so they can avoid repeating the same errors. I had a similar problem with a conversation thread on a staff member's post. She had the power to continually delete our posts, yet a standard post gets hijacked all the time.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
