Why when I am breaking no rules within my posts yet they are always being removed.
help
See @lichme goatsnad's answer above, but in summary:
Contrary to what the OP wrote in the OP, the OP is NOT posting deals that don't break the rules. Since the OP's deals break the rules, the OP's deals are getting deleted.
No gremlins or problems, though the OP may not be happy about how reality works.
Reading this thread makes me want to shake something in a threatening way. My theory is gremlins, they are awfully mischievous.
Because your avatar is ugly?

Here are some helpful hints.
The site b4bld4 should never be used as the destination. Always send us directly to the site with the deal. You will see that we have replaced the destination URL to make that happen.
@thunderthighs was correct in pointing out that politically themed items are allowed if they are tasteful and not offensive.
Regarding affiliate links, see above. We will replace all affiliate links with our own.
Hope that helps.
All told.
It looks like @mikeybrew is either really good friends with @bubbaisbald, or they're the same person Since he's been a member (for 3 days) he's only commented on deals added by @bubbaisbald, or on deals in which he accuses the OP of stealing @bubbaisbald's deals. I mean that could be coincidence, but now the only question that he has answered was asked by @bubbaisbald and his answer appears to be supporting him. I'm willing to bet that if his deals weren't deleted right away, we'd see a lot more comments in there.
That in itself is shady and while not against the rules (as far as I know) it is not a welcome practice. Just follow the rules, quit being shady, and your deals might stick around for longer than 1 minute. It's not that hard to figure out.
So it seems to me that you are trying to post links to zazzle with your own affiliate link in it to get commision here. That is not what this website is for, if you wanna make money through deal listings, you're gonna have to make your own site. If this is the case, you are indeed breaking one of the rules.
@bubbaisbald: You should chill out sit down and have some toast.

Serious, well kind of, @bubbaisbald: (I know you are not used to getting help from an evil liberal but) if you want to post anti Obama stuff Amazon has plenty; count down clocks, bumper stickers, books, Android apps, and yes even non offensive t-shirts.
A bit trollish but http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/19/big-government-gets-bigger/?page=all
I am not going to get into a big flame war.
@bubbaisbald: Political items are allowed as long as they are tasteful and not offensive.
@mikeybrew: You can.... on your own site.
Ok, then why is it wrong for a Woot user to do the same?
@bubbaisbald: Deals.Woot makes its revenue through the affiliate commissions and sponsored deals. That's no secret.
The first time I saw your shirt deals, you had posted the same deal 3 times in a 1 or 2 minute span with a different title on each one. That's enough reason for me to see them deleted.
@kamikazeken: so because I have a theory, I am automatically whacked out??
As said before, if I do post links, this question will be pulled
@bubbaisbald: As I said in your other question,
"Calm down... Stop yelling. There are children sleeping.
A cursory search provides 245 results for deals from Zazzle in the past.
As many have asked, Please give examples, links, pictures, (something!) so that we can help you!"
I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT......ZAZZLE DOES NOT PAY REVENUE TO AMAZON!
IT IS THE SAME REASON WOOT DOES NOT ALLOW AFFILIATE LINKS WITHIN DEALS WOOT!!
AMAZON DOES NOT GET THEIR CUT, AS THE AFFILIATE CODE POSTED WOULD OVERRIDE AMAZON'S AFFILIATE CODE! IT IS A COMPLETE SCAM.....SCREW THE LITTLE GUY, EH??
tried it again.....lasted less than a minute
What is wrong with political shirts.......I see lots of them on woot.....mostly in support of OBAMA
@kamikazeken: there were several political tshirts posted we watched as the were posted and tazed. they were mostly zazzles. and enough different politicians to offend everybody.
the shirt was american made and printed, that alone would cost $60 in my local retailer.
I am sure you or your wives have spent quite a bit more than $30 on a purse (coach/prada), mine has.....
Oh, the $30.00 t-shirts?
I added a t-shirt tonight.......it was directed to zazzle
TELL US WHAT DEALS U POSTED. What sites selling what items?
@baqui63: No one should really expect an answer before tomorrow morning for this, but I might as well do something useful before I retire for the evening.
@jumbowoot: Any ideas here? Perhaps you can see logs for what the OP's deals were that were deleted. He's being so mysterious that I almost suspect that they were deleted for cause, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
how about everyone tattles on my question......then maybe I will get an answer
I am aware of this, or I would have posted them already...
I believe that Woot may just be forming a Socialistic form of Commerce or something.
Examples? Including an actual link here may get this whole question deleted but without anything more to go on, there is no way to help you.
Well,
The mods keep pulling my deal posts, it does not matter what it is. I have emailed woot, amazon, etc trying to get an answer.....yet I get none
What she said (well, wrote).
Because cows don't wear tennis shoes when it's raining.
Honestly, that's as close to sense as some answers you receive will make, but in order for the mods to even attempt to answer your question in a serious manner, you're gonna need to provide examples.
