Feel bad. I am getting so much free stuff: Chipotle, Fazoli's and now this. Do not even have to purchase anything.

You're also getting a lot of thumbs down on each of your posts. You must have some haters and I must have missed why.

They are bullies to be honest and to look at it another way, they want anarchy because they do not want to Follow Site Guidelines



[IMG]https://static.slickdealscdn.com/images/smilies/wink.gif[/IMG]. I mean it is one thing if the post was not factual; however, your guess is good as mine. Then again, I have written down (talked down) to a lot of them and there is always one individual who ALWAYS thumbs down my post. I never use thumbs down as validation so whatever.

Weirdly enough, when I get emails, I wonder if they count thumbs downs as deals being seen because I am apparently a "deal posting rockstar." Then I look back and these are deals where I am thumbs down on.

Additionally, because of them, I probably have the most thumbs down out of anyone on this side of the site.

And, I live rent free in their heads everyday. Like how mentally out of it do you have to be to always thumbs down a post? They give me their time and so I guess I have to thank them right? Woot!

Just do what I do. Upvote these deals to help balance out the thumbs down. Only way you can help

I mean the deals are still seen. I always go by Most Recent because I want to see new deals, not ones that are the best.

The only thing that thumbs up and down change is how it is sorted, if one picks Best New Deals or Deal Score. I would not expect every deal to make the Frontpage; however, they should still be seen. This site at least allows that.

Now, if deals were like comments, where thumbs down meant one had to open it up, that would be a different story. No harm, no foul.

I just feel bad that we have to live with people who really dislike their own life so much that they feel the need to thumbs down others. Many of them do not even post deals themselves. You read that right. They do not even contribute to this site. It's sad. The site has to keep them though because it is for profit and there is a chance that they will make a sale, so you cannot ip address ban them. You have to catch them when they slip up and at best, a 30 day ban.

It looks like the thumbs down are mostly for unable to replicate deal. That would be solved with putting YMMV and would also be appreciated.

You have access to thumbs down reasons? It states it in the title.

Every wednesday they send out weekly offers.

You got one offer for free pastry, it might be totally different from others' offers, some might not see any offer at all. No one can replicate your deal.

Could be plausible. I know right now there is one individual thumbs downing my Sonic deal.
It is not just the deal; it is every post!
