Official Kohl's & More Deal & Chat Thread

[redsolar]

Dear participants of the Kohls deals thread

In the light of recent events most of you are well aware of, we would like to remind you about some of our policies, and set a few expectations moving forward with the combined Kohls deals thread.

SlickDeals.net is meant to be a friendly community to share deals and allow everyone to get in on some of the best bargains on the internet and in brick & mortar stores. It's not an exclusive deal site, and never will be, and as such, every member should be welcome, regardless of their join date, rep count, or level of expertise in bargain shopping.

Being a good size community, there will always be some tension present, and it's important to understand that dealing with such tension needs to be left to moderators, and not individual members. As much as we like to leave the things open to members' consideration, it is clear that certain issues can get out of control quickly, and should not be permitted to happen.

On the issue of having deals "reposted" in other forums, please keep in mind the following:

1. There is no sure way to either prove or disprove that deals were or weren't taken from an organized Kohls thread and posted elsewhere on SlickDeals.net. Speculating about it won't do anyone any good .
2. There are many other deal sites which take deals from here, and many deals are taken from there to here as well. There is also such thing as users stumbling into a good deal/deals on their own.
3. Based on the above 2, modalerting individual deal posts buried in a big old thread as reposts will in most cases not be merged either
4. Remember, that just because you disagree with something doesn't mean it's a violation of rules, or will be addressed by an action from a moderator
5. Do not gang up on a deal just because it's been posted in the large thread and also posted elsewhere. This may result in warnings, and removal of your voting and reputation privileges.
6. Do not gang up to modalert a person and request them to be banned. Moderators have seen many things in their experience, and this isn't one that will play to your advantage, quite the opposite actually
7. Do not publicly accuse others of having multiple accounts without concrete proof. Assumptions are not proof. If you believe there is a duplicate account, let us know via modalert, we will verify that and take an appropriate action (or inaction)
8. Play nice with everyone, and remember, there are many members on this board that are affected by your actions, not just you - keep that in mind
9. Respect everyone, including the moderators, and people will respect you in return
10. Last but not least, do not fight each other, whether publicly or in private. There isn't much to be gained from that for anyone, except for maybe warning points.

And of course, remember, if you have an issue or a question that needs a moderator to address it, send one of us a private message. List of moderators is available here.

We would like to start a new Kohls thread, call it a "clean slate", and see how it goes from there on.

This new thread has:

1. Enabled reputation
2. Enable post count
3. Neutral party (yours truly) as the OP

As a general forum rules reminder, make sure you take a careful look at the reputation guide and familiarize yourself with the rep trading. No, reputations points don't cost anything, and don't have any value besides sentimental, but abusing reputation will lead to it being disabled for your account . We do not warn for reputation-related issues often, but we will if we have to.

Also, remember, that you can view resolutions of your modalerts (with comments, if applicable) by clicking this link in case you are wondering what really happened to the issue you alerted us with your modalert.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

[slickdeals]

At the conclusion of the previous thread, we decided to do the following:

1. New thread with wikipost as the OP. If you need more wiki's let us know and we'll clone another from our bot factory.

2. Appoint a few people to update the first wikipost so that the mod team knows who has more "voice" in case of disputes on the first wikipost edits.

3. If there is a 2nd/3rd/4th wikipost for deals or what not, the group needs to decide what format and information it will contain. Everyone can work as a group to update it. It will be a group decision.

4. If you see that the Kohl's deal that is posted in Hot Deals and it is already posted in the Koh'sl thread, feel free to mod alert it with a link to the post in the Kohl's thread and we'll add a thank you message and a link to the post.

5. If the deal is literally swiped from the Kohl's thread, mod alert it and we'll put the same thank you note & link. We'll let them go if it's the first time. If they continue to do it a 2nd time, we'll warn the person. If it happens 3 times within a month, they'll be prohibited from posting Kohls deals. Feel free to embed your username into the Kohl's links if you think it is necessary.

6. If a person posts a deal in Hot Deals that they find themselves but is already posted in the Kohl's thread, we will not merge it especially if there is a lot of activity in the thread. It is not considered a repost.

7. Please do not accuse people of swiping the deals publicly. Only the mods can make the final determination.

8. Off topic posts are allowed as long as there is a deal posted every 100 posts or so.

Lastly, please leave all animosity behind. Do not argue about the past or we'll hand out warnings. If there are any previous information or posts you'd like me to move here, send me a pm.

The Rules

1. NO FIGHTING - I can not stress this enough. There have been far too many instances of fighting since we have cleaned this thread up. So this is what we are going to do in this thread. From now on ALL posts involved in an argument/fight will receive warning points. The points will be assigned as follows:

1st offense - 1pt personal attack warning
2nd offense - 3pt trolling warning
3rd offense - 3pt trolling warning
4th offense - 3pt trolling warning resulting in a seven day ban

If after your return from your ban you continue to fight/argue with other users, or if a duplicate account is made by you during your ban, we may elect to ban you permanently.

These warnings will be issued on a per post basis, not a per fight basis. So if you post four times in a single fight, you will receive a seven day ban. So, how do you avoid this? First of all, do not participate in any fighting!! If you are antagonized into a fight, simply use the mod alert feature to bring the post to our attention, and do not respond to the post.

Secondly, put the individual on your ignore list. There are two ways to do this. One, click on usercp and scroll to the bottom, and select Buddy / Ignore Lists on the bottom left. Add the username to the appropriate list and click "Save List".

Alternatively, you can click on the user's profile for the person you wish to ignore, and on the far right, click on Add to Ignore List.

When it comes to fighting, I don't care 'who started it' or what they said, ALL participants will receive warning points in the above fashion.

2. The reputation abuse will stop. When you signed up for your accounts, you agreed to our terms of service. This includes agreeing to follow the forum rules. The rules for reputation abuse state the following:

Accumulating reputation points

Every user starts with 10 reputation points. You can give other users rep points if you feel that the post has been helpful. Reputation points can only be given in the deal, freebie or help forums. The best way to accumulate rep points is by posting a good deal.

You can view the last 5 reputation points you have received in your usercp. The ones with green boxes count towards your score, while the gray ones are not. The points that count usually come from seasoned users.

If you have less then 50 posts you can rep others but it will not count towards their reputation points. Instead of showing up green under their user CP function, it will be grey.

Negative rep points are not allowed due to abuse but certain privileged users are able to give negative rep.

Regarding reputation abuse

Rep points are a way of saying thank you, gain a rank and maybe get recognition. There's no tangible value for reps and never will be. However, it is a metric that can be used to determine how helpful the user is to the community. Thusly, to keep the reputation points meaningful, we have general guidelines on how how reps should be handed out. The premise is, if it is used as a form of "thank you" for a user who did something helpful to the community, it's ok.

The following kinds of comments/usage are generally not allowed:

• "Give me rep!"
• "I'll rep you, you rep me"
• "User XYZ is almost bold"
• "Let's make User XYZ bold"
• "Let's get User XYZ to X number of reps"

Threads/post where the user offers rep points for help or favors (not disguised as trading or trivial questions) are ok. However, rep points given for contests/games or trading for value items are not allowed since it doesn't follow the "thank you" premise. Examples:

• "Answer 1+1 and get rep from me" not allowed
• "Do something trivial and get rep" not allowed
• "Beat me in game XYZ, get rep" not allowed
• "Help me find a deal on X, get rep" ok
• "Help me find a rebate form, will rep" ok

Remember, moderators can and do read your reputation comments, and comments left to you by other users. Since reputation abuse has been so rampant in the Kohl's threads lately, we will be actively searching for reputation abuse. We will deal with abuse in multiple ways.

1. We may elect to dock your reputation point count, and/or
2. We may elect to issue you a reputation abuse warning, and/or
3. We may elect to disable your reputation privileges

3. You agree to follow all other rules as posted in the header of this thread and in our terms of service.

We may elect to add additional rules from time to time to cover issues that may come up in the future.

Quote from zexplorers : OT Anyone know a good online florist or have a good code? DH's Uncle passed away and sending flowers is so expensive! TIA

I've found in the past that my best option is to call the florist the family is using and order something by phone. In my experience, they ask what sort of arrangement you want (live/planter, cut flowers/graveside spray, or silks), what price range you're looking at, and what the card should say. The ONLY bad experience I've had doing this was when mom asked me to order a planter for hubby's grandfather's funeral, and the braindead, colorblind florist put this giant green and blue polka dot bow on it. Two hours into the viewing I managed to take the left over baby shower looking bow out and toss it into the trash, and I felt better . However, this is the only bad experience I've had, and I probably order funeral flowers this way every few months for either myself or my parents.

If you don't know what florist they're using, you can call the mortuary and ask. Of course, you could also just pick a florist from the phone book or directory assistance (I'm in West Virginia, and there are very few areas that have more than two or three florists here), ask if they're delivering to the funeral, and then place your order. I hope that helps!!

OT--I've been meaning to post about this, but it's so not related to the KT that I haven't. My FIL asked me to order the casket spray for his father's funeral. His mom wanted roses, we settled on how many and what color, but they wanted me to take care of it. So, I ordered it, the florist wrote the ticket, my heart stopped when I saw the total, and before I could argue with her, my FIL handed her his Visa. From the look on his face, I knew it didn't matter, he'd pay twice that much to have it over and done with, but I was still appalled that we were about to spend almost $500 on it. Then I realized that I had just ordered 63 red roses (number of years they were married) and 8 white roses (1 son, two grandsons, five great grandchildren), a specialty ribbon, and that they had all of two days to get the flowers ordered, delievered to BFE, and arranged. I checked FTD, telefloral, every other online florist I could find--similar sprays were $850 or more, not including the 'rush' delivery charges, and none were as beautiful as the one this local florist did. Lessons learned--1. Local people care more 2. Before you freak about being overcharged, you should find out what the usual price is

Anyone know if they mailed out percent off coupons? I have Kohl's cash and need to use it by next week. I see online they have a good percentage off again. I wonder if I bought online and then went in to exchange it, get something higher priced, and pay with kohl's cash and keep the 30% discount.

Anyone know?
