What features would you like Deals.Woot add?

I would like to be able to post/search through categories, such as Apparel, electronics, toys, kithcen, home, Garden, Media, ETC

I would like to have a separate area to post Cuopons, or deals that are not a specific product

I would like to be able to post multiple things in one listing, say if a deal is buy this item, get 50% off this item, there should be an easier way to convey that w/o having to write it in the description

When posting we should be able to set our deal to automatically expire, as many sites will say how long something is good for, especially valid for cuopons and one day/week deals

maybe a maximum amount of time one deal can stay active? like a month or 2 weeks? i am often deal blocked by a deal that was over a year ago, never got RIP'ed and just happened to roll back around.

A separate blog board that is not worked into rep, so we can chat w/o being accused of rep whoring.

A section for things that are 100% free

A box to fill in %off retail whe

a box to put what the price is regularly/ on average ( not MSRP/retail or deal price, but what you can probably get it for most days )

I'd like the ability to see who down voted anything, deals, questions, comments etc.

I'd also like you to have to post why you are down voting something in order to down vote. You not liking the color of a sweater is no reason to down vote a good deal on a great sweater. It would stop quite a bit of the petty down voting that might swing a deal early on or it might stop an individual with a petty grievance continually down voting another members contributions.

The ability to easily communicate directly with individuals would be nice.

@yrguide: "I'd like the ability to see who down voted anything, deals, questions, comments etc."

It's the internet, and haters gonna hate. That said it is probably more harmonious to the community at large that voting is not made public.

@inkycatz: I don't know, I go back and forth on that one.

One one hand, as Walden once wrote, "Haters are in fact going to hate."

However on the other hand if you are forced to be publicly accountable for your haterade in a community setting most folks are far more likely to be mindful of their negativity and be more constructive with it.

@yrguide: If you have to explain a negative vote, then it follows that you should have to explain a positive vote. Would not work for either one. Participation would plummet.

The ability to see who voted up or down a comment.

AUTOMATIC EXPIRATION!!!!! Yes, I went there and put it all in caps. Whether 1 month or 2 months, deals should automatically expire. Or at minimum, add an expiration date field so when deals are added, their expiration is set.

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.
