Just an idea - hot/cold system

POSTED BY: fluidz 10 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi there

Merry christmas.

Heres a recommendation.

The hot and cold system is easily flawed by people who click either as a hobby without reason. Wouldn't it be better if, just like Yahoo answers, a reason must be stated for your hot or cold selection. Then and only then we would be able to see why others have chosen either hot or cold rather than giving members a loss in confidence that the hot and cold system is as accurate as it should be. Kids are off school, they enjoy degrading deals. Heck, i bet competition from other companies is leading to a few minus degree scores.

Give each user a reason box below the heat selection. They must fill in the reason. It takes seconds. It gives members a good read. And the comments that lead afterwards will turn more positive thus not aimed at complaining about the current rating system.

Just an idea from a happy Hotukdeals member. One little change equals alot of happy faces.
I've got to the stage where im not sure that clicking a cold deal will be a bad deal. Imagine how many others are doing this?

Bye for now. Happy new year.

only problem is that it would take long for deals to become very hot.

imo people abuse the system to their own ends. So someone who wanted to 'cold' a 'hot' could really simply pluck anything out of the air and use it such as 'can get for same price elsewhere' or ' better spec for same price exists' or ' was £20 cheaper two weeks ago'...they could come out with all kinds of vaguaries. If you want to push people for specifics to prove their point then i think people will not bother. If I had to validify my heat with proof, web links etc I doubt I'd bother..lots of hassle and i' m not coordinated enough to have a list of Sellers prices dates and URLs to hand...like a lot of people I'd guess.

This possible solution has been proposed multiple times in the past, there are plenty of threads about this already.

Yeah, if you must declare why you voted cold then why not also hot?

I'm not convinced it's a good idea.
