I put up a deal f/groupon/goods/mophie/it was taken down, anybody know why?

Jan 29, 2013 5:42 PM

$49 for Mophie Juice Pack Air Battery Case for ($79.95 List Price). Three Colors Available. Free Shipping and Returns.
I noted there had been a lot of counterfeit mophie packs circulating but the reviews on amazon for the real thing were positive and that groupon assured customers they were authentic. I also stated you had to pay your state tax.

it seems to have been reinstated. (or maybe you re-posted)

I did repost- its funny though 2 votes against right away just like the last post- not that they are related but who knows.

@extech01: I'm fairly sure that referral links are also a no-no on deals.woot. If it had a unique code/ url to give you credit for anyone who buys through your link, that might be another reason it was taken down.

The Groupon T-shirt deal I posted didn't have a referral link, I posted before I bought my coupon. Yet it still got down-voted. I expected it to be a popular deal, I thought The Mountain was a respected and well-liked T-shirt seller and there are certainly enough people on here who like T-shirts. Getting T's from them at less than half price seemed like a good match for wooters to me, but evidently I was wrong. I have given up on trying to penetrate the mind of the average wooter and hardly bother to post deals these days. More great Mountain T's for me.

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.
