You guys need to chill out. The Wiki was so out of date and disorganized that it pretty much was garbage. And it is a WIKI. IT IS FOR PUBLIC EDITING. If you feel there is something helpful you can contribute to the Wiki, then do it.

I can see justification for having at least a 20% off coupon in the wiki. Past that, I don't think there's much point in adding other coupons unless someone wants to be very diligent about keeping it up to date. If you want to include freebee coupons, I would upload ALL of them and be sure to remove them as they expire. I believe in an all or nothing approach if you want to include a particular category of coupons.

there is nothing wrong with change, but why is up to you to make the decision on what changes are to be made? Have the decency to ask for input and/or contact the OP. Yes, its for public editing but have some common courtesy and just ask for opinions/feedback before you make yourself master of edit.

edit. basically I repeated my previous comment here.

Technically, I could go to every thread and delete everything because I want to and "IT IS FOR PUBLIC EDITING." But you have to have a sense of decorum, so to speak.

If you look over the Wiki, you will notice that nearly all of the information that was originally there has been maintained, but it is now much more organized and better written. I think you guys are getting your panties in a bunch for deleting the coupons. Honestly, I don't see much point when finding coupons from other sites is vastly superior and comprehensive. But if you guys wanna add coupons, then by all means add some coupons.

Other than that, what's to complain about? Everything that is useful is still there and is now more informative, clear, and easy to read.

I feel everyone replied in a nice civil way until you decided to tell everyone to chill out and yell at us. I had even given you props for your editing as you did do a good job rewording things. The wiki is a communal property and it is not up to one member to dictate what should or should not be in it and you should never delete another member's contributions and the fact is you did in fact do that. Coupons posted just 2 days ago were deleted by you without asking the contributing members how they feel on that and if the rest of the community agree with your assessment. Now that a few members tell you they disagree you yell at us and imply that what we want is useless, that is not a very cooperative stance. Yes there is a great source of HF coupons maintained by a great contributor but some people might not be able to access that site behind a corporate firewall, some may not like going to another site, some might like to point people to the wiki for a coupon if the person does not frequent this thread or know of the other places. Any reason is valid even if you don't agree and that is enough reason that coupons can and should be left in the wiki if they are valid coupons.

I welcome civil discussion of this matter but please refrain from yelling and telling me to "chill out", it is not appropriate.

I agree with all the others and disagree with you.
THis is the HARBOR FREIGHT COUPON thread

We'd appreciate you putting back the coupons you deleted. Why should others have to put them back, since they put them there once and you decided to remove them?

We prefer to find the coupons here. Nice to have the other choices/sites, but this is our Coupon and info thread. Thats how its been and thats how it should stay.

Oh, and don't worry about my panties.

Please don't delete coupons that are not expired. I am not able to restore them from the revision history.

Weekend: 20%, FWP tarp, outlet strip, parts holder

Sorry n00b here - long time lurker first time poster.

Was wondering what happened with the links to the sale pages? That was the most useful thing by far. Some sort of threat by Harbor Freight?

Okay, thanks. The WOT is a little overwhelming and after reading I still don't know how to find the coupons on the website.

Some time back there was 3 pages of sub dollar items to use to get the freebie. Now THAT was some mess.

[edit] I've added to the email section:
Retail 0717a Expires 2/26 [harborfreight.com]
Retail 0617a Expires 2/19 [harborfreight.com]
Retail 0517b Expires 2/28 [harborfreight.com]

Users can update the WIKI, I'm often to busy to bother now a days. Note in those email links, you can post after receiving the email or

&week=0617&campaign=a&page=0617a.html&

So week 6 of 2017 and campaign a. Usually a,b,c. Whenever I get a whim, I roll the numbers and campaigns to see what's coming up.
