Agreed.
It's an independent site, which includes the biggest posters receiving rewards & commissions from merchants, and cash from OzBargain.
biggest posters receiving rewards & commissions from merchants
If posters are being paid a commission from merchants to post, then they MUST check the I am associated box when posting. This not only marks the deal but also puts rep posting limits on their posts (as well as provide transparency). Of course, we don't have access to emails and bank records so obviously our investigative powers aren't up to ASIO standards.
and cash from OzBargain.
For clarity, rewards (gift cards/Paypal) are given to those members who positively contribute to OzBargain whether that be a top competition, deal or generally helping out other community members
Don't ya just get sick of repeating the same shit Neil? :/
@Spackbace: Your previous post suggests it's frequently asked. And if it's an innocent answer… what's the problem?
Humans are naturally curious.
Welcome to OzBargain.
Does Dick Smith Pay OzBargain?
The answer to your question is no. We are an independent community site. See help for more information.
Negative votes being removed.
Voting Guidelines. Also, community members can remove negative deal votes if they negative vote the comment.
Also, you can block seeing specific store deals. So for Dick Smith, go to any DSE deal and click the Hide deal button.
I feel DS is advertising more often that not and it can tend to dilute the OzBargain site. Having said that this site is run very well and I tip my hat to Neil and co:)
Love your username bud
No, maybe if you contributed more, instead of bitching this site would be a lot better
1 post and not a deal and your bitching? Hmm….
paid Eneloop for comments?!!!
This site is fantastic other than the voting system. Votes can't be trusted because genuine concerns about deals aren't allowed as negative votes.
Negs should be encouraged to get a reasonable picture of what the community thinks of each deal.
that's why we have a comments section for discussion, if there is no 'deal' you will be quickly informed about it in the replies below….. Votes, comments and the context of the deal are to be used in conjunction with each other. It's all about making an 'informed' purchase after all :P
Only takes a couple of negs and the deal disappears for most of the community, along with their useful information.
It's a flawed system…
yeah it seems every single sale Dick has gets posted here. usually only getting a small amount of votes.
Yeah there's still a few that jump to post the coupons every 2nd day, without posting examples. Then there's some of us that actually find the deals amongst the rubbish, which does still happen!
Come up with a good excuse for neg voting and it wont be revoked, or the community wont revoke it.
You can hide posts for Dick Smith.
Unfortunately, for those who might be interested in the deal, they have to trawl through all the useless comments such as, "Not another Dick Smith post".
Thanks for your contribution.What's that, 2 DSE deals on the front page today?
Yeah, feel free to hide their posts if you wanna miss out :)
But then i will miss out on their closing down liquidation sales
it seems like it but I am guessing no.
wish the DS deals would be limited to one a day though.
