View Full Version : Coupons Forum - Again I Would Love To Know What You Think

I don't know about other people but when I see 3 or 4 posts in a row for coupons for the same site or company its a little overwhelming. And with bumps of singular posts it sometimes looks downright chaotic. Couldn't we use generic titles like " Slick Deals Company ( slickdeals.net ) Coupons & Discounts " so all the coupons for the site/company would be together? If the threads get to cumbersome we could always start a new one every 3 or 6 months (like "what I got in the mail today"). It would really help to make the section easier to use. Also the coupons that do not fit into a "multiple" thread or coupon requests would be more noticeable.
I know some people don't like "multiple" threads (like the Official Walmart Thread), but I think it would work well in the Coupon Forum. Please tell me what you think.
Thank you everyone.

We do have stickies for this already (staples, CC, office depot, office max)
Did you have a specific company in mind?
What I can't stand is people requesting Amazon coupons. 90% of the time no one has one and when someone replies a week later that there are none, there is like ten other people who are like "Can I get one too, thanks!" Maybe we should have a sticky for that...

Maybe we should have a sticky for that...I think what she's saying is for one master thread for Papa John's, another thread for amazon, and do so for each company. She's not saying to get stickies, just master threads.
I think this is a great idea, and then get new threads every 6 months or so, or when it gets too long. This will definitely keep that forum more organized.

Some frequent coupon codes already have this. The problem is that the OP doesn't keep it up, so the first post will end up being an expired code from months ago.

You make a good point Kel_Be but instead of having to go through 4 to 6 different threads you only need to look through 1 central thread to find the most current offer. It would also clear up alot of the "clutter" by keeping offers from particular sites/businesses together so requests etc. are easier to see and may actually go down. I have seen requests from people bumped and next to them are 3 different threads for offers from the companies that the requesters wants offers from (hope that makes sense). Thank you.

its a split descision. some people like master threads, others like seperate threads. each has their good pts. master threads are more organized. seperate threads are easier to see new codes, they usually get lost in a master thread.
we stickied the pages with the most use, past that i don't see much more happening.
you are welcome to start master threads, but we won't force people to post in it.
