Do you click a link just to view comments or add yours?

Just wondering if anyone else is guilty? I admit it, even if I have no interest in the item, I often click the link to see other's comments, and sometimes add my own. Anyone else care to stand up and testify?

"Looks like you're excellent at adding deals. You could increase your reputation by voting on some comments."

Gotta keep up that rep.

Depends on if its someting I'm looking for, or something I know a little about. otherwise, I try to keep out of places I don't feel I belong.

Sometimes I open a deal I'm not interested in buying, but do want to know what people are saying about it. And, at times, I'll add a comment. Also, usually upvote comments/answers because I appreciate that someone took the time to add their thoughts. Their comments or answers may be the exact opposite of mine. But I'm pretty positive about thanking people by upvoting...both on deals & questions. Rude comment/answers do get my downvote. Do not downvote deals or questions. Yet, I sometimes comment on those I have not upvoted. Sorry for going off topic about voting. It's kinda automatically connected for me.

I'm curious to see what other wooters think of items I have an opinion of. And keeping my black triangle is strangely important to me.

Definitely. Part of the lure of deals.woot is the social (community) aspect and in many cases, I check the comments just to see what people have to say about an item or deal.

Sometimes I'll add comments, either because I know something about the item or deal, or because I have something humorous and/or helpful to add.

I find that questions and deals comments sections usually have information I may not have obtained otherwise. At least a part of the value of the deals.woot community is in what we each bring to the discussion to share with others. I often read and vote on comments without feeling the need to say anything myself, and a lot of the time, it's because it's already been said.

I always look at the comments of deals.
It helps to find out the quality, value, and validity of a deal.
It helps to weed out the bad deals and retailers. Like the $1 earbuds, and the rip-off groupon sites.

If it is something I'm interested in I'll take a look at the comments for reviews of the product. I'll also take a look at deals with a large number of down votes to see what all the hubbub is about. I won't go open a deal just to look at comments.

Sometimes its the comments that are better than the deal. Other times, it is to add my own comments. If I just opened the deals that I was interested in, then this would become a boring site pretty quickly.

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.
