Can we have a COMPULSARY comment / justification for voting COLD within the first 10 minutes of a posting

POSTED BY: big-boy 2 weeks, 2 days ago

Example:
The Cowboys (Blu-ray) - £8.99 delivered @ Play.com
-7° FOUND BY: millarcat 1 minute ago

How can ANYONE have judged it is a bad deal or price ??? after less than 1 minute ??? it is a good price as next best is SelectCheaper £9.65

It's happening loads and it's really pathetic :x

WHY, I think ONLY within the first 10 minutes of a posting justification is fair to ask

I always give a reason if voting cold. I always look at comments if it's a deal I'm interested in and really appreciate people bothering to say why it's not such a good deal

Been done time and time again no budge.

Just remove cold voting or give it less. Serves no purpose to have cold voting at the same level as heat. If its cold many people will lower its heat.

simple solution

and yes it is annoying - i do post asking why cold vote - not just on my posts - others

as jamespir says - cold voting on a freebie or a comp for no valid reason

take away voting rights of these people - why let them spoil it for rest of us

also puts people off posting

Actually why not make it that you have to leave a comment before any voting (hot or cold) to why it is that way for the voter?

It is disheartening when you've put a really good deal on and it drops to minus 20 in the first 10 minutes, before the genuine members begin to vote sensibly.
It's particularly annoying when your submit is lingering around the 70/80 mark and you know it would have been made hot (and brought to the attention of a bigger audience) is it wasnt for the initial minus voters.
I guess you just have to imagine these minus voters are just sitting in a one room bedsit, surrounded by empty pizza boxes and cat poo, with faded newspaper covering the windows and loads of Magic Trees hanging from the ceiling. It helps me cope. Ha Ha

I agree that it should show who votes cold on deals, although the drawback is that the whole site would probably be over-run with people asking for justification of why such and such got voted cold!

On the deal you mentioned, I'm not sure an old movie on blue ray is such a great deal at £8.99. Ok, it might be the cheapest available, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's good value. On the whole, blue rays have been overpriced since their inception and are rightfully coming down in price, I would say a good price for this would be about £5.99.

I hav asked the same question as indeed many others have but it will not change.
I think the problem is, the cold voters not always voting because they actually believe the deal is not hot but because e.g. they just dislike the product and secondly the expectations of some listers are probably hotter than the deal they have posted, e.g. saving 20p on a packet of cornflakes will not rate very high....

whats the fuss if a deal is voted cold?

If it genuinly is a good deal it will inevtiably be given heat if not then its not as good a deal as the poster first thought. simple.

as for you have to leave a comment, nonsense all that will achieve is people just won't vote and every deal regardless of its actual value will be deemed to be scorching hot making the whole voting concept pointless.
