Resolved: posted my first deal and was removed, saying it was spam… why?

454 63 November 24, 2022 at 08:22 AM
Saw Amazon was running a BF deal for Hey Dude shoes so I posted up a link to them. Went back to edit it and see it was removed. Says was removed due to being spam.

How is this spam? Isn't the point of the site to post up deals for others to see? I have zero affiliation with Amazon or Hey Dude. I have a pair and saw they were on sale for ~half off so got two more pair and wanted to share.

My title had description, store, and price range (depend on color).

What more am I supposed to do to be able to post? Hard to contribute to the community if it's made to difficult to do so.

Thanks.

Hello I'm sorry that your deal was spammed, it appears that there are several 3rd party sellers and it was overlooked that some are ok and some don't quite meet our minimum guidelines. I have moved your deal back to hot deals, as is it ok to be posted here.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for sharing a slick deal with the community.
