You are going to have to come up with a better question than this, if you want my downvote.

Are you looking for something specific?

@barnabee: Yeah especially since we've seen these sort of experiments run before.

@barnabee: I could just post something to offend everyone, but that would take effort and my motivation level is low.

+1 for the hell of it.

You went in with the wrong mind set. You can't intentionally want down votes. We're no dummies! Next time try something to the effect of "Should I stay the president of my local Bieber fan Club or Chris Brown fan club - I only have time for one?"

And then you play the waiting game and watch your reputation slide into oblivion like so much bacon grease down your kitchen disposal.

See?! I know in my heart of hearts I made at least one eyelid twinge with disgust and loathing.

@psumek: If it will make you feel better, I'm sure you are offending someone, somewhere.

@loosecannon67: Please ask that question. Please?

@loosecannon67: See I think maybe the Jerry Sandusky fan club would garner more downvotes than Bieber.

@psumek: I was going for down votes not a public stoning! Yeesh!

I think "what's your favorite kind of Crocs" might work pretty well too.

What is Bieber, and why does it have a fan club?

If you mix your question with something that is of a non-liberal viewpoint AND you talk about your leaderboard ranking, you may find out. Something like:

"Can I get to the top of the leaderboard to get a jumbowoot coupon, and still believe in traditional marriage?"

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.
