@cwongtech: Haha. Surprised you didnt know that. I have seen that same deals posted (at different times) by particular users get more attention compared to others even though they are very ordinary. Wont give you examples either as we have discussed that in the past.

Oh I'm aware. However if you don't judge by the title and compared the details in each of these "same deals", the ones that attract less attention usually have a lot less information (listed bargains) than the ones that are seemingly upvoted more due to "popularity".
It's much easier for others to cry foul than actually put in the effort to make their post great.
And a lot of the times.. some OzB users will post the exact same question as one thats been answered previously.. in the same thread!! Shows the amount of attention to detail a small handful of the OzBargain users have..

Since when this started happening. A good deal will be good irrespective of details or efforts to make it look good. OZB is not a competition to make a deal look good when it is not.
xBox one with 500 GB at $279 is a great deal even the description is one line and will remain good even if someone put half page of formatting.A good deal will be good irrespective of details or efforts to make it look good. OZB is not a competition to make a deal look good when it is not.
It isn't. So why do people keep whinging about votes associated with other users if its not a competition?

That's as precise as you can get though. What's missing in there is just the store to go snatch it up.
What I'm talking about is when one user posts 15% off a particular store, lists particular bargains as examples that it's a good sale.
Then a second user posts a repeat of that sale, with only 15% off storewide.If that happens, then JBHifi's regular 15% off computer "sales" would be posted regularly on OzBargain without any true value.
It's only bargain-worthy if, after the 15% off, the resultant price is truly the lowest market-wide (check staticice, amazon)It isn't. So why do people keep whinging about votes associated with other users if its not a competition?
It is due to below average deals getting floods of votes many times posted by particular users favoring each other or posts when a store was blacklisted in the past or savings is minimal and some good deals being hidden and could not even make to main page. Competition if OP is getting referrals out of it.
15-20 Plus votes and a deal is in front page. Users should look for a good deal and not a user who posted it. Cant make it more simple.
Like everyone says, it's just free advertising for CR. No reason for this to be called a deal. 75c back out of $100, after few months and not even guaranteed. No deal

If you can give me better, please let me know.

OzBargain is free advertising for every merchant or service.

-Cheaper price elsewhere
-Defective product
-Major issue with retailerWhere does everyone's negative votes fall in line with the above..?
Because this isn't OzBargain worthy at all and is just clogging up the site as it's advertising spam?
Because this isn't OzBargain worthy at all - Orpheus
Positive votes decide whether it is OzBargain worthy or not. Not negative votes.
and is just clogging up the site as it's advertising spam
Yet all deals are advertising for the related store.
And by definition for Spam:
irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the Internet, typically to large numbers of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc.A large proportion of deals do not apply to me. They are irrelevant and unsolicited.
Does that mean I should neg vote every single deal, just like the other circlejerkers because they do not apply to me?
Or do I just say no deal and move on with my life?
@cwongtech: Basically, 0.75% increase is garbage and not worth taking up front page space. There are multiple cases of people complaining of jumping through CR hoops and still not getting paid. Add to that list that some people experience months of waiting just to get any payment sent out to them. I would say that this is a case of "major issues with retailer".
And while there may not be cheaper deals around, this gets posted every time there there is a minor bump. It is hardly worthy of posting it every time. Like other users have said, if this was any other retailer that had a cashback announced with an increase of 0.75%, it would be laughed off OzB.
How do you think eBay sales would be received if the next eBay code that comes out wasn't 20%, but 0.75%??? Still get 500+ positive votes?

This can be stacked on top of those sales though, and runs separately.

This happens with ALL CASHBACK SITES though, it's not specific to CashRewards.
@cwongtech: Well aware it runs along side the eBay deal. My point was, how well received do you think eBay giving a 0.75% cash back code would be received here? Use code "MEGASALE" for 0.75% cash back on every purchase on eBay! Yep, upvotes a plenty on that post…
Or just exchange eBay for any other big name retailer. Let's say The Good Guys sends you an email saying they are having a 0.75% cash back sale, and that deal got posted here, how you think the community would receive that "bargain"?
And again, I know all "cashback" sites are the same, but this thread isnt about "all cashback sites", it's about CR. And I am pretty sure that if any other "cashback" site listed a deal up here with a 0.75% increase, they would be canned the same way.
No deal. Spend $100 and get a massive $.75 back! What a Joke.
Neg vote because of failure to previously track.
On a side note can't be trusted and are taking the wee out of us forum members.
Good old CR posts always seem to bring out the haters that hardly ever share a deal themselves, if at all
Keep it up people, really helping the OP to feel the need to post again…
Here's a thought… Since it wasn't a store rep that posted, maybe let it get to -5 and then just stop neg voting? It's just further kicks while the OP is down.
Or just go about bashing the deal despite not posting anything yourself.
Depends on how straight your moral compass is.
My unpopular opinion is that those who have never posted a deal should not be allowed to neg. For example.

Votes are for the deal, not poster.
Perhaps we could involve the great minds who advised teachers that marking in red is too distressing for students and implement a maximum neg count for each deal.

This lame old argument of members not being worthy of voicing an opinion unless they have a high enough post count comes up whenever things get heated. It's kind of like OzBargain's own Godwin's law

And the OP is meant to know that? Gone to the trouble of sharing a deal (you know, the whole premise of this site), only to have their notifications going off daily as people randomly bitch about the deal with invalid negative votes.

Or you know, just know when enough is enough and move on? Point has been made, no need for people to (invalidly) neg vote with stupid short comments.

Yep, we're in a community where those that actively contribute positively to this site have more significant opinions in my eyes. If you don't contribute and just want to sit on the sidelines and belittle those who do contribute, then you're bringing nothing but crap and negativity to what should be a decent, mature group of like-minded people. Act like a child and I'll show you up as one.
Tell you what, here's the post for cashback @ PricePal, all 1.25% of it. How about you give it a pos vote, since 2% is worthy of a neg…?
And the OP is meant to know that?
Yep, pretty sure someone who's been a member since 2009 (longer than you or I) will have seen it all before. Given that the OP hasn't made any comments, my guess is they're not as sensitive as you're trying to make out and have just moved on.

Everyone has their own idea of when enough is enough, try not to get too upset if your opinion doesn't align with the rest of the internet. If you know the magic number then look at implementing a maximum neg count for each deal.

Not everyone contributes by racing to be the first to post a copy of a marketing email or trawling Aliexpress to post another sub $5 piece of junk that'll end up in landfill. Try to look outside the box, a high post count does not automatically mean a valuable contributor to the site.

Your inability to accept the opinions of others isn't what most adults would consider mature. Name calling doesn't exactly raise the bar either but you go with whatever makes you feel like you've had a win on the internet.

Tell you what, how about you check that ego at the door champ. I've never seen any power users or mods here think they're so righteous that they can dictate where and how members should vote. Enjoy that feeling of self importance while it lasts.
Let's finish this conversation there as it is getting personal. This has gone way off-topic.
Best to just ignore deals that somehow the majority think are worth it like this then worry over it everytime its posted. We all know this isnt a deal worth posting to ozbargain but according to ozbargains rules it stays.
I just dont hide any thing in the off chance it becomes a good deal 2% sorry .75% isnt a deal imo.Personaly i think they should be banned going by how many people that seem to have transactions not tracked and cashbacks not given (ive seen many in every deal).
Maybe i should use my ebay affiliate at 8% to start another cash rewards
You've been registered on OzB for a mere 24-48 hours and you've done nothing but complain. Not only that, your comment does not justify your neg vote and is against the voting guidelines.
ebay affiliate at 8%
It's nothing like 8%, but you will get US$25 for each new member that signs up.
Imo definitely not worthy of a positive vote, but not quite bad enough for a neg either. Whilst I agree that something posted at $100 with a $0.75 discount would probably be negged, I wouldn't be one of the neggers. As many have stated, it wouldn't be enough to sway your buying decision anyway, but it's extra money in your pocket for a purchase you were probably gonna make anyway.
Does anyone really shop at eBay because they give cashback? I shop there because it's cheap without the cashback, and the cashback is an added bonus.. whether 0.5% or 10%, I was gonna make the purchase anyway!

I only shop when I need things.. usually usb cables or screen protectors. But then I found AliExpress and some things are cheaper on there, some things are cheap on ebay.
The increase in % savings doesn't really make me go crazy but the pitchforks that have been raised. Goddamn it guys.
This is NOT a bargain by any measure and makes a mockery of Ozbargain.
@OP don't feel bad for posting this - there are a lot of negative people in this world you just treat them like a fart in the wind
Negativity is invariably in the eye of the beholder.
Can a mod or someone please explain to me why my comments published for the purpose of marking a deal negatively keeps getting unpublished when the comment I wrote has practically the same wording as comments that also had "negged" the deal but are still published?
If 6 people neg your comment and any comment in this thread then your neg vote will be revoked. It's a major floor in the OzBargain voting system.

It's no flaw. It was specifically to cancel out negative votes that are obviously not justified.

Honestly I don't know why so many negative votes are still standing. Most of them do not follow the voting guidelines.
The voting guidelines specifically say a negative vote is NOT for if you think it is not a deal
That's what a No vote and a comment is for.
Have a read peopleA negative vote is for the following reasons ONLY:
-Cheaper price elsewhere
-Defective product
-Major issue with retailer
Your comment was unpublished because someone reported it for invalid negative vote, and a moderator agreed.
Any questions go to the talk with a moderator forum here
I'm not a mod so I don't know what your comment is, but I'm really annoyed everyone is misusing the negative vote button for what they think is "not a deal".
There's only one valid negative vote in the ENTIRE post and it's with stemcell's in relation to not tracking. Even so, there is a resolution for that, there's a contact us button on CashRewards designed to deal with that.
Any known major issues with the retailer/service in question, you could report the post and request information to be added to the top where EVERYONE will see.If you don't like a particular deal or service, and don't want to ever see it again, see neil's comment here to remove all future CashRewards related posts

@Gaggy:
If this hit the first page, it would attract more pitchforks.. I don't think it's got anything to do with the poster being someone else.
