Exclude or Hide sellers and/or keywords to filter out certain deals or categories
hey, long time HotUKDeals user here and big fan of the app in general , thanks!
I would love the ability to mute/filter out certain deals.
if there's a certain seller in my case Costco, I'm not a member and keep seeing deals for OLED TVs that I cannot take advantage of so would love to hide them.
Also I'm seeing regular deals for cheap petrol which I'm sure is useful to some but it would be great to mute/filter out deals with "petrol".
thanks

Would this actually make the deals not appear in the list ?, or still appear in the list but just prevent the url from opening ? (edited)
There are people who choose not to be smeared with cr@p every time we open something in our phone. Are we also welcome to use your app or should we accept your discrimination?

If you don't browse or open lingerie deals, then they won't be featured as regularly on that forum view.
Adult Lingerie - can we have a feature to opt in / out of this section (possibly others) in our Account Settings please?
Is there any way we can vote on having this feature added?
Don't get me wrong, the pieces are beautiful & everything but some of us are simply fed up of seeing these very obviously being voted hot for the wrong reasons, clogging up Today's Hottest deals & others we are more interested in.
Also, quite fed up of some posting laddish / immature / disrespectful to women comments that seem outwardly benign just to gain cheap attention & likes - can post examples below.
Does anybody else feel this site is becoming more like a hotlingeriedeals or hotladiesdeals (edited)
It would be nice to have the option to mention that you're 'Not interested' in that type of deal anymore so you no longer get those suggestions.
I did look at muting individual posters posting them, but at least one was a Deal Editor, who users are unable to mute.
[Edited for context as posted something separately that got merged into here] (edited)
I am not interested in seeing these deals from Lovehoney. Could you please remove them?
We are often asked for this feature and I would really like it to be implemented one day. Unfortunately it is still not planned.
We're always looking at ways to improve the deal experience so i'll pass this suggestion along
For deals, it would need to allow you to block key words, including the retailer name.
There are a lot of thirsty middle aged men posting lingerie deals and it's a little sad.
What I proposed in my earlier comment is to give members the simple option to include or exclude certain sections or subsections - if they have tick boxes & toggles for so many other aspects in account settings, shouldn't be difficult to add this as well. (edited)
I can definitely see the option to hide, opt in-out sections would be a bonus for some users though.
Personally if I don't like a deal I keep scrolling, Can't you simply scroll past too. That is a thing. I am sure many people browsing the site scroll past hundreds and thousands of lingerie and none lingerie deals normally and don't want them removed or hidden for the wrong reasons.
The laddish, immature, silly & disrespectful comments for the sole intention of gaining attention & likes is another annoyance - these are reducing as people have complained, but now every single comment has to be closely monitored & moderated, which proves another point.
These are about the only types of deals with photos where you cannot buy everything being displayed in the photo, & this is another aspect that messes with one psychologically - mental torture that some of us would like to have the option to avoid, thank you very much!
If this was a certain kind of site, catering to a certain kind of clientele, then everything would be having a party & no one would be objecting to anything.
Things have to be seen in context, HUKD please see the absurdity of it all & give us the freedom to choose. (edited)
Thank you

It's something that has been requested a few times so I will pass on the feedback to the product team

I had suggested to exclude lingerie deals from the rewards but that would be unfair for people sharing what they think are genuinely good offers. I also suggested to not allow the images to be shared in the thumbnail(?) and that it should only be the companies' logo in place of them. I also think they should not be shared in the description either because it seems that some people are voting up based on the images alone. The people who may be looking for such deals may still click through and look to see the product to make a purchase.
The past week I have been thinking that I should try and find some good lingerie offers and share them so that I can receive a reward myself.
This would solve all the problems - no one wants to stop the site from earning revenue from them, deprive anyone who likes to view/interested in buying the products, earn vouchers or even stop the silly comments if that's what they choose to do.
This is not controlling or preventing anyone from doing whatever pleases them, but gives everyone a choice to join in or opt out depending on their interests, sensibilities or whatever.
If this doesn't exist, does anyone know if this feature is in the pipeline?
Thanks in advance for any info.
My example is Amazon. I cancelled Prime after the 'last straw' of them bumping up the Prime cost and adding advertising to Prime Video (plus sick of all the no-name junk on there now).
I'd like to simply hide any Amazon deals as I won't be buying anything from there.

I know I can easily ignore these but thought I would ask...
You can hide all local offers or chose to only show local offers in your area (see link below).

It would be great if when setting up an alert you can add exclusions.
For example if I setup an alert for 'watch', it would be great if I could select keywords to be excluded and not trigger the alert. For instance if I am not interested in smart watches, I would exlude any watch deals with the keyword 'Apple' or 'Samsung' in the title.
Do you know if there is a procedure in place to make suggestions to hotukdeals to improve the user experience ?
Just go to the profile page, and you'll see a mute button under the user overview.
It would be better where if you post a deal, and comment or react to a comment it shouldn’t be seen by the muter! Same for retailers.
Sorry if this is obvious and enabled somewhere.
Can you filter deals for sellers to never show? Basically I want to permanently hide House of Fraser and Sports Direct deals.
Thank you!
It's pretty grim scrolling seeing various chopped up animal limbs and meat
If you are referencing everyday grocery products, then that isn't a genuine feedback request and we can remove this thread.
Would be nice to have a filter to hide the images
I've found 2 alternatives that might or might not be off help to you.
1. You can use our new search bar to filter out categories when searching.
2. You can set up custom alerts for when deals are posted that fall into your interests.
I will pass this onto the team, but in the meantime if you need any help with the above, please just reply back !
Hope you have a lovely christmas!
