Can you tattle on your own expired deals or will it go against your rating?

Jan 31, 2011 10:16 PM

I just wonder what will happen if you tattle on an expired deal that you've posted. Will it go against your ratings for being expired, or will it help your ratings for doing the tattling? I don't get all this rating stuff.

Yes, tattling on your own deal is always a good thing!
Edit to add: It counts slightly more when you tattle on other peoples deals rather than your own.

Heh, same questions, same answers.

@faughtey agrees with @faughtey here too:

@faughtey: Sorry, I tried looking it up a few different ways but didn't see where it was posted (about tattling on yourself, that is). I didn't have time to read through all the tattle questions...I was spending all that time looking for great deals to add to the boards! :-)

Last night I did a lot of tattling on my own deals as I like to keep it all squeaky clean. I had not been over to the leaderboard much since I had done well last week and did not want to focus on reputation but instead just enjoy the site. BUT, after the self clean-up, my tattle arrow was way over to the left. Too bad. If everyone cleaned up after his/her own mess, the site would always be nice and tidy.

Edit: I had been tattling on others so that should have kept my arrow up, I would think.

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.
