Sorry, this question is for deals.woot staff. What happened to my free scoop post for Haagen-daz?

May 6, 2010 5:01 AM

I just posted it about 15 minutes ago and now it's gone.

I can't find a SINGLE duplicate. Maybe staff are gelato people...

@catbertthegreat: it was a press release about the upcoming free scoop day. Is that not allowed? It's legitimate.

@hkpoohster: Press release? I think coupons and such are okay. It may have been where it was posted from. I'm sure that @jumbowoot or @prettywootprincess would have the answer. Please be sure to post the link that you'd had in a comment. I suspect they'll arrive presently.

@cassandratroy: it was a press release issued by Haagen Daz published on the Triangle Business Journal:
http://triangle.bizjournals.com/triangle/prnewswire/press_releases/national/California/2010/04/20/SF89420

there were a couple of votes on it and poof, gone. I've seen postings of Yahoo articles for freebies, so why wouldn't a post for the press release be okay?

@hkpoohster: As was mentioned, we hope that @jumbowoot or @prettywootprincess (or even @thunderthighs) shows up, and explains. You may not see an explanation until tomorrow. I was one of the votes on that, by the way. Ice cream is good.

Was it the same as this deal: http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/8eef3208-5642-4d54-a47a-4f6c094c1e4f/free-ice-cream-at-haagan-daz-on-may-18#0?

@glindagw: yes... okay, I'm red-faced. I did a search on "Haagen Daz" before I posted, but that post didn't come up since that post had Haagen Daz spelled incorrectly (that post has the spelling, "Haagan"), so I went ahead and posted the deal. Thanks for finding the original deal; that explains the disappearance of my post.

@hkpoohster: It's ALL spelled incorrectly. It's Haagen-Dazs. There's an 's' at the end. :)

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.
