How to Remove L and P 'Plater' Badges on OzBargain

LTobCaz on 17/09/2020 - 21:47

Hey all,

So recently I was going to post a deal for stake.com.au, as all of the current deals are 'expired', but could not post a deal as I am an 'L Plater'. I found another thread about this, which basically mentioned it was to stop shitty spam.

Now to be completely honest the current deal is basically a continuation of the previous 'free stock' thing, so it doesn't really matter.

Anyhow that's not really any worries, but it got me curious. How do I remove my 'L Plater' Badge?
Do I need to verify my account or something?

Cheers x

    From the Help located at the bottom of every page:

    Tips & Hints:

    l – first deal posted by the user
    p – began posting 2 weeks ago or less
    p2 – began posting 6 weeks ago or less

      Wondering what prevented the op from posting, surely it had nothing to do with having an “L”?

        Some stores are a magnet to SPAM but we don't want to block the store entirely. So for Stake which attracts a huge amount of referral SPAM from users who sign up to OzBargain and spam their codes is blocked from L & P plater posters.

        From this screenshot, you can see 9 out of the last 10 deal posts were referral spam. 8 out of those 9 were L plater new accounts.

    Is your deal just your referral code? I dont think you can make that a "Deal".

      Yeah I gotcha.

      So what sorta 'deals' are posted on oz bargain?
      If not referral/ coupon codes like catalog items?

      I don't really spend much money

        Have a look at the Deals front page - anything with 50 or more positive votes is something people consider a very good deal.

        If you find something on sale for a decent amount less than the normal price then post about it. But worth doing a search of Ozb to see if it has been on sale before and for what price (if people posted deals where it was higher and still got positive votes you're onto a winner, if the only deals for that item are much lower prices than what you find then don't bother)

    Post us a hot deal on a Switch, Sony WH100Xm4, high end Android phone which is not a Samsung, or a freebie. We will love you forever.
