Can we add a "Spam" option to tattles?
It just seems like a no brainer! Why should I have to select "other", which is probably a low priority, when there could be a more direct "spam" option?

I second this motion.
Great idea! Seems like the amount of spam being posted has increased lately.
Awesome idea! And I'm sure whoever down voted this question is a spammer...
We've asked for this in the past. Many times.
I'm amazed to see that someone voted against this question, by the way. Must be someone who doesn't like @abramokids. It would be danged funny to find out it was a spammer, though.
[Edit] @mustardsquarepants: Great minds think alike?
I hope so!
I like the idea as well and hope Woot! entertains your suggestion
REAL PLATINUM JEWRY AT ITGSNOTFAKE.CO !! 600CARROTS!!
But yeah, that would be nice...for the time being though, I just put "SPAM!" at the top of my tattle under "other" heh
@drchops: That's what I do too. It's a b*tch when I check on my deals' comments and see a spammer has added their crap! It makes more work for the staff.
Agree... HOWEVER, consider the pandora's box impact... Enough folks around here dislike the "downvote" aspect, is this yet another area ripe for abuse? I suppose less so, since it just goes to Woot! staff who can apply commonsense... plus as far as I know tattles are "private' which minimizes any "pile on" effect.
BUT just playing devil's advocate to point out that another "negative" feedback mechanism (downvoting) has met a LOT of resistance, much of which based on the idea it's being misused or used carelessly (e.g. herd mentality of downvoting). Is this not subject to the same?
@shrdlu: Exactly!!
Another vote for the "Hell yes!" contingent.
they should...there was some moron that wouldn't stop posting knock off shoes on all kinds of different sites yesterday.
What if the deal was Spam, like the canned meat product...
@auzroz: It would be just this side of canned unicorn meat. With sprinkles!
agree
