How does an item go FP

2,870 613 December 9, 2025 at 09:32 AM
Can someone explain how an item gets to be FP. There is a bin a lot of stupid stuff on the FP lately. Which is making your website look bad. Its getting where its useless. there needs to be some qualifiers.

Like Navy-wife posted tire inflator, that had 27 reviews, as coupon made it half off. That doens't mean its a good deal. All of the products from that vendor has low counts for reviews, yet it was only $3 more than a product that was also have off with 8k views.

The deal editors manually evaluate deals and select them for promotion after doing price and other research. You can read more about it here: https://help.slickdeals.net/hc/en-us/articles/115004710094-How-Does-a-Deal-Become-a-Frontpage-Deal

this is not happening thing. They are pushing crap products to the front page. You don't put a tire inflator to the front page with 27 reviews.

We need a way to report this as they are dumbing down the real SDs.
