We realize reading website's
Acceptable Use Policy(AUP) and
Terms of Service (TOS) can get confusing with so much information. I know I'm one of those "I accept" people who just blindly probably signs away my soul to all websites' rules and regulations.
This is just a shortened tl;dr version of those pages on our site. Basically, just a quick rundown of our main rules—if those are followed, we should all have a good time here.
- Be Kind to each other – No harassment, trolling, political or offensive stuff. Keep it PG-13. Zero tolerance for threatening to kill someone or telling them to kill themselves. That will result in an automatic ban.
- Stay on topic – Every forum and thread has a purpose, so don't derail discussions. I'm lookin' at you, Tesla threads.
- No illegal or shady stuff – No piracy, hacks, scams, fake coupons, or anything sketchy.
- No spam or self-promo – This isn't a place to advertise your business or push referral/affiliate links. This includes anything you're affiliated with—your job, your spouse's business, etc.
- One account per person – No duplicate accounts. We'll know.
- No fake reviews or votes – Be honest. Don't game the system.
- Forum-specific rules exist – Some forums have extra rules. Check the pinned posts. For example - the first stickied thread in the freebies forum which should also answer any questions you have regarding trading on our site.
- We do not sell the items posted here - We share great deals, but we don't sell the products. If you buy something, it's between you and the seller. Read the fine print before purchasing!
- Competitor Sites - No posting competitor sites. That includes trying to circumvent any filters by using "creative" spelling. Trust me, we've seen it all.
- Banned Merchants - Some merchants have been banned from our site for various reasons. If you accidentally make a thread or post for them, your thread will be removed (A moderator will send you a quick PM to let you know).
- Merchant Guidelines - We do have a few guidelines for some merchants to be posted in Hot Deals.
Amazon:
- 3rd party merchants must have at least 50+ lifetime seller ratings and be fulfilled by amazon. If they are fulfilled by the merchant (sold by and shipped by a 3rd party seller), they will still need to have 250+ lifetime seller ratings to be posted in Hot Deals. Anything less will still be moved to our Marketplace Forum.
Ebay:
- Top Rated Plus Stores need 10k+ ratings.
- Not Top Rated Plus stores need 20k+ ratings.
- If it's an Ebay Daily Deal, it can be posted regardless of ratings.
Newegg:
- Merchants need to have 500+ seller ratings.
Walmart:
- Merchants need 250+ seller ratings.
Aliexpress:
- We're now allowing anyone in the community to post deals from AliExpress. The only requirement is that the product must be shipped from a U.S.based fulfillment center.
Merchants falling below those requirements are welcome to be posted in
Marketplace Deals.- Mods make the final call – If you break the rules, we can remove posts, restrict access, or ban accounts.
Repost Rules
If a thread is a week old with replies in the last 5 days (besides the OP) then a new thread for the identical item/price/merchant will be considered a repost.
If a thread is a week old with no new replies in it (besides the OP) in the past 5 days, a new thread will not be considered a repost.
That's the gist! If you want all the fine print, check out our
Terms of Service and
Acceptable use Policy. We also have a thread that goes into more detail regarding our forum rules and tips
here. Now go forth and snag some deals!
