Rule clarification needed - yet again.
POSTED BY: BristolDeal 3 months, 1 week agoWhat have we got THIS time?
Well...edi posted a deal for an XBox 360 game from The Game Collection, priced at £6.95. This had already been posted two weeks ago at £7.95, and expired. I pointed this out, and then requested that the old thread was unexpired and updated. This was done by one of the mods.
Then I reported edi's thread as a duplicate - but it has stayed. Lo and behold the older thread was then changed back to how it was and expired again. Not only that, but I posted a message saying it had been reduced, in order to bump it up to the top of the 'discussed' tab, and my perfectly valid post was removed - how sneaky is that?
Earlier today whizzkid posted a deal for the Chad Valley Tiger bouncy castle thing as it was back in stock. I reported it as a duplicate, and requested an older thread was unexpired - and that was all sorted out. The thread that had been unexpired had also been updated and unexpired recently when the price dropped again. As you can see from that thread, it had been posted again at a lower price, but deleted in favour of updating the existing thread. So what is the difference between that and this deal for the XBox 360 game? None, as far as I can see.
If there is a clear rule 1) can we be told what it is and 2) can all the mods stick to the same one?
Thanks!

Finally, You have too much time on hand to pick & stalk people who disagree with you. No more answers from me on this topic.  |

edi (even though you're not going to answer this) - you failed to address many of my points, and totally ignored my example of the "tiger" thread where exactly what you claim shouldn't happen did happen. Also no explanation as to why the older Xbox game thread was changed and unexpired and then changed back again - that just suggests to me that even the people running this site aren't clear on the rules. No explanation for my post in that thread being deleted for no valid reason. Ironic that you chastise me for not quoting something, when you've pretty much ignored all my points.  EDIT: Decided to quote your post in case that gets mysteriously changed/deleted... Last edited by BristolDeal : 22-08-2008 at 15:56. |

What discussion all I read is someone moaning about trivialities. What does it matter if someone repost an expired deal when it becomes available again. Some of us only look at new deals and would therfore miss the unexpired one. do you complain when the same advert gets repeated on another channel. "Oh why are they repeating that I already have that advert recorded on my betamax tape no. b532/6r-18/06/2008"
