Big Time Moan: I am SO SICK of seeing all these bogus users with 3 line boldface signatures trumpeting their Mom-and-Pop lookin', tacky-ass colored, animated gif-heavy, two-million-exclamation-points-on-every-link deal sites that look like they were built with a template in 15 minutes by Serial Mom, sticking in their little comments on every thread, "...and don't forget to use a coupon," with a little smiley face . Enough, already.
You want to post a deal, fine. Go ahead and post your refill ink cartridge deals (get an extra 10% off with a coupon!), your dozen roses deals (save with a coupon!!), your never-ending Amazon deals (use a coupon to save even more at the Friday Sale!!!), your run-of-the-mill 10%-20% off sale deals (oh, and we've got coupons!!!!), your "I got this from FatWallet" deals (translation: I posted this with my BIG SIG over there, too....and use a coupon available at ANY coupon site!!!!!!!!!!!). But, please cool it with the SUPERFLOUS CRAP.
Hey, but who really cares, right? It doesn't matter if you all turn this board into a spam-infested nightmare. What's a "hot deals" board for, right? This is what it SHOULD look like, right? All the other boards look like this, right? BULLS**T.
Do you feel you're being misjudged? Is your heart in the right place? Are you just trying to be helpful?
Have you ever really stopped to look at a random sampling of deals posted in a given week here? Well, take a good hard look sometime. You'll quickly notice that the best deals on this board come from users who DO NOT HAVE DEAL SITES. Now what does that tell, you? It tells me that, whether you mean to or not, you're limiting the potential of this board.
Any good deal finder knows to use coupons and where to go to find them. And, as I think you can tell, it won't be your site. You can stop reminding me now.
