Are you tired of the sellout.woot / deals.woot integration message? tip:

we're getting 30k folks a day or so viewing the "sellout.woot is now integrated" message who don't have cookies set to avoid it. Some of them are annoyed cookie deleters. I believe the majority are newbies to deals.woot, and that's why we're somewhat stubborn to remove this "feature"

The solution, for those of you who are not new and are annoyed by this message, is to click the deals.woot logo UNDERNEATH the sellout.woot thumbnail to get directly to deals.woot. (i.e. DON'T click the sellout.woot one) The sellout.woot offer will not automatically be selected for you if it's not the top voted deal, but that's no biggie.

thanks

for clarity, this is if you're arriving to deals.woot from a main dot-woot front page via the sellout.woot thumbnail (woot.com, etc.) If you have deals.woot bookmarked, you don't see this message either.

That was nice of you to accomodate the people who do that, when you really didn't need to.

@hobbit: nothing changed actually - just realized that would work fine while staring at the woot page a few minutes ago.

@snapster: How often do you stare at the woot page? And for how long?

@sgoman5674: apparently a lot, now I wonder just how much insight we are going to get from the man who started the craze.

@sgoman5674: I dunno say 20 times a day for a minute each x 6 years. 730 hours? It's like I'm halfway through a decade long woot-off.

@snapster: Thanks. I tend to log on to deals first then look at the other sites as they open in new windows I just close the windows.

When will you be starting adult.woot since you have so many women's lingerie companies wanting the opportunity to display half naked women in front of young eyes, who are, by the way, looking for good deals on xbox, games and kid's stuff?

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

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.
