We Need a Back in Stock / Hand Sanitiser / COVID Tag

Title pretty much says it all.

I think we are all getting sick of seeing hand sanitiser spam, posts that [insert product] is back in stock and overpriced masks.
I’m especially getting sick of RRP posts. For example, the Nintendo Switch got shared as a bargain at RRP not once, not twice but FOUR times. From Target, Big W, Kogan and Amazon.

    Little disappointing that people cannot give some leeway during these bloody horrible coronavirus times and respect that others might see value in these posts.

    People posting 'this isn't OzRRP' are not the great wits they think they are.

  • Isn't this why we vote?

    If you feel strongly about it then neg away

    You can filter out seeing hand sanitiser (or anything else) posts by using filters. See New Deals and Front Page Filters

    posts that [insert product] is back in stock

    Deal posts about x being back in stock will be removed as a duplicate unless the following exceptions are satisfied:

    The original deal is older than one month, and was expired or sold out between then and now.
    The original deal is active but older than 6 months.
    The duplicate gains an excessive amount of positive votes (100+) and the original deal was posted and had become active more than 24 hours ago.
    The item is not in the title of the original deal and the duplicate deal is active or will be active on the day it is posted. Moderator discretion can apply.

    and overpriced masks.

    See Announcement: Moderation of Profiteering on OzBargain (Deal Posts). We have removed numerous deals posted by reps where it was clear profiteering however deals posted by regular users are fine. You should, just like any other bargain, link to a cheaper product in the comment and utilize the negative vote.

    You can use filters but not all bargains will apply to all people. I wouldn't sweat it.

    One generalised COVID tag should be enough

  • I agree it would be better if we had one each for posting for TP, hand sanitiser, face masks, etc and people add to it. People can then do their own comparison in one place.

  • too many new registered users are selling all sort of hand sanitiser from unknown source and trying to monetise the market shortage and profiteering
