Every month we list the most popular, least popular, controversial, well I'd thought I'd add some mod picks for moderation related comments:
Negative Votes
Mods bend the rules according to their belief. #
in reference to negative voting rules…
Not a reason to neg. Every single post could be considered landfill, by anyone not wanting/needing it.
and this on the Big Man Tyrone Post:
The mods must be getting commission from him since they remove negative votes #
and
Neg revoked by weirdo mods. Total bullshit. Clearly not a bargain if the same promotion runs every 4 weeks. #
Except it's pretty simple:
Any negative vote that falls into any of these reasons will be revoked by a moderator. Negative votes for any other reason will not be removed by a moderator. These are verbatim phrases.
Classified
The mods and most of the members are just fools. You place a classified ad and anyone can comment at the bottom whatever they want saying baseless things that deter ppl from buying.
Whole thing needs to be shutdown. Toxic and unethical. Never looking on that site again. #
Well this one is from Product Review based on this post who was happy to give feedback but not receive.
Affiliated Deals
How he isn't a banned vendor I would never know, maybe the affiliated commission is enough to allow this to go on. #
and the next several comments with members trying to explain that it isn't affiliated as there isn't an affiliate link but then…
Just because there's no tracking URL doesn't mean there's no affiliation in the back end. #
Huh?
Just because there aren't affiliate URLs doesn't mean there's no secret financial arrangement.
Oh right.
and finally
I find this weird ..the dude is selling his services on Ozb and no complaints ? So many rule bullies around who complain if a t is not crossed as per stated rules and this dude gets a free pass because he is black ? I am black and I find that bizzare. This is the first deal I am negging because it makes no sense at all.. it cannot be a bargain if the OP is selling a service where he can decide any price he feels is correct..not to mention publicly shame jv who is a member.. which I am thankful for :-D..but your post is not a bargain OP..I have no idea how to neg though ..looks like I am not allowed to neg ..this is not not a deal OP
Um….
And here is my conspiracy theory wiki which needs a bit of updating. Hard to keep up with all of them!
Just to be clear:
- Votes are only revoked by a moderator if they are any of the verbatim phrases listed on Voting Guidelines.
- OzBargain is free. No one including reps pay OzBargain to post here or get any preferential treatment.
- Race, politics, and whatever other divisive issues aren't factored into OzBargain. No matter who you are or what beliefs you may have, bargains unite us all!
/rant over. We feel like we're constantly trying to inform members but it seems some people don't want to listen or don't care. We did respond to this claim of foul play which the OP took on board.
What do you guys think?

Members of the Month
tightarse for posting the most popular deal last month, OnePass Subscription for 1 Year $12. That deal also took just 5 minutes to reach +30 votes, and 13 minutes 51 seconds to reach +100 votes, becoming also the fastest trending deal last month.
ozvictor for posting the most clicked deal in June, 80% off BEKANT Office Desks & Parts @ IKEA. That deal was also the 5th most popular non-rep deal last month. Didn't know that many people on OzBargain are interested in standing desks.
Clear for posting the most deals last month. 52 deals with vote average +44 were posted in June, with this AliExpress coupon deal being most popular.
Sideswipe for posting the most entered competition in June, Win a Samsung 75" Q60C QLED 4K Smart TV @ Harvey Norman.
Congratulations!
