Where'd my deal go? (Yep, it's one of those)

Jan 4, 2013 5:42 PM

So, I posted a deal (world market, beer, 30% off in-store), it hang around all morning, then disappeared. Is there a new unwritten rule I missed or was it incorrectly nuked? Inquiring minds want to know!

Because beer.woot.com is forthcoming (please please please!)

Based on some of the comments I saw, it seemed like it may have just been for one region or store? I know I saw some comments indicating some people couldn't find the deal. I don't know if this is the reason it was deleted though (or if these are even factors that affect a deal's "deletability").

If you feel a deal has been deleted in error, please feel free to post it again. (And if it is for one region or store locale, please be sure to be specific!)

If it continues to be a problem, I am sure we can get someone like jumbowoot to investigate.

@benyust2: one was a humorous about the store not existing, and someone else misread a similar email. Since it was in-store only, it wasn't listed on the website; I've routinely posted world market deals like that before.

@inkycatz: thanks for the follow up. There were no locale restrictions or other, except for what was in the description. Mostly it is just fricking annoying, and I'm very jet-lagged and irritable. And I'm just getting back into the deals swing after sporadic internet access. Maybe I'll repost tomorrow.

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.
