is there a way to talk to certain wooters?

i tried searching several different terms and did not come up with anything close, so if this is a dup, i appologize.

i know there are several cooks & home chefs in the woot community, and i was wondering if there was a way to communicate with them if i see a deal that i think would be specific for them other that to just post for everybody and hope the cooks happen to see it. i did post my deal {my third one (and first that wasn't expired within 20minutes)} on the general board, but i know it will be pushed to the back quickly where i doubt my cook friends will bother to hunt. are there groups?

You can PM people but you have to do it from one of the Woot site forums Woot Shirt.woot home.woot etc. It's hard to do I'm told. You could also mention them in the deal with the @ sign. Though I'm not sure how welcomed that would be. Also they would have to have those notifications on.

Here's a link to another question about PMs. I've never done it so I guess you have to look find a comment from them on a regular woot forum to be able to PM them.

I hope that helps.
Good Luck.

To PM another wooter you have to find a post of theirs in one of the Woot site discussion forums, as gideon mentioned, or world of woot forums. Click on the little envelope icon to the right of their screen name to send them a PM. To see if you have a PM just check at the top of any discussion thread page (in the colored bar, right hand side), you have your own envelope there with a number on it to indicate the number of PMs sent/received. You can click on the envelope to read and respond to your PMs.

Please note if you are PMing people that people do not respond kindly at all to unsolicited PMs.

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.
