Am I not worth a +1 anymore? There is no automatic upvote for my posted deal

Dec 10, 2012 7:29 PM

http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/834f8c56-44f0-48c7-b831-7e1de563489b/toshiba-satellite-c850-st3nx5-15-6-laptop-amd-e-1200-320gb-hdd-2gb-ddr3#1

I posted this deal and the starting number was "0". No automatic plus one as is usually the case for items that I post. Other newly posted items have the 1 up at the beginning, but not mine...I am sad. I cannot even upvote it to "1". I have been relegated to second class citizen.

It's a glitch. It has happened periodically over the years but never fear, it will be corrected.

IIRC it's log out, log in, expire then repost.

I find it happens about once a month...no reason, just does.

I delete the deal and repost and everything is fine in deals.woot! land.

@jsimsace: @mtmn2

It is not all that important to repost, but thanks for the info. Not many seem to think it is all that good os a deal anyway....lol. Only 900 sold on eBay in under 2 hours for a 1/2 price, NEW laptop from the Manufacturer which is now sold out anyway.

That keeps happening to me randomly, too. I haven't bothered reposting the deals, but found it strange. Thanks for posting the question. Glad to know I'm not alone.

@niloc225: About the same time an official official FAQ listing appears.

@pinchecat: Hey, it is what it is. And if the post actually does well the extra vote might make it worth it!

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.
