Do HUKD ever block shops or sellers?
The recent deal at Office.co.uk seems to have been a massive waste of time for everyone who placed an order. Is there a procedure to block deals from specific sellers when they do things like this and if so what is it?
Do Office have any 'form' for doing things like this in the past as this has been my first (and last) dealings with them?

Remember that, in general, a deal from office (or any other retailer) has been posted on here by a member of the community, not the retailer itself - so it's not like they have abused an advertising opportunity or deliberately run out of stock in high demand.

I have calmed down a bit now but I still think Office were a bit out of order on this occasion (at least). Maybe some way for the mods to keep track of shoddy deals and then if they get quite a few bad reports then some sort of ban? Also, I don't think there is any way to tell the poster does not work for them (I have no idea if they do or don't).
I would support a blanket bad on ebay seller deals, must be a pain for the mods to keep deleting them all the time. Not sure about Tesco, there are a lot of store specifics but I have managed to get a few of them in the past.
(You will see "DO NOT POST" next to this merchant's name in the "Filter results by merchant" field in the "Deal" Forum Summary view)
The quoting of this merchant's name also sends the associated comment into the "mod queue" so that the text is reviewed before it is allowed to be posted within any thread (to stop any direct links to the site being provided).
I suggest that if you have concerns (& they are not addressed by one of the site staff in this "Feedback" thread) that you either click the "Report" link on the associated "Deal" thread &/or use the "Contact" link (at the bottom right-ish of this page beneath the "HUKD Tools and API" heading) & relay your case.
That said, many site members have concerns over The Hut Group, & they are still an active merchant:
Is it not time The Hut Group were banned from here?
