voted down why

The fundamental problem is you are expecting people to vote rationally. Why? These are the same people who decide bigger things affecting the country.

Ignore the votes, don't take it personally and continue contributing.

Could be lots of reasons. People against alcohol?   Try posting a deal involving Wetherspoons, McDonalds or vouchers in the sun lol.

I posted free entry to horse racing and it created animal rights debate.


Thanks for posting and your efforts. (edited)

Why are you getting angry because your deal hasn't gone scorching hot? It's alcohol that's regularly on sale so not really a fantastic buy. If you get annoyed at not getting credit from internet strangers you should maybe stay off the internet

Don't try and get inside the head of the average HUKD member. You have better chance of explaining quantum physics

Shame you can't downvote discussions.

Posting two in row is just about safe, but post three and it pushes some folk over the edge  
 

Also, most moderators are safely tucked into bed some time after midnight, so it’s like the wild west until around 6.30am. I feel for the poor soul who has to tidy everything up first thing!.. 

Paul 9 out of your last 10 deals are base alcohol,you think you may have a drinking problem?

Post (at least Baileys one) is still up. What do you mean voted down?

Use the first line of description to add a bit of background as to why that price is a deal. Is it an all time low? Has it been six months since it was that cheap? Is there an announced price rise on the way?

Just posting today's cheapest price isn't much of a deal which is often why multiple consecutive posts on the same product type often don't do well - unless there's a co-ordinated industry sale then chances are most of them are not at an unusually low price.

Voting on this site is beyond any rational explanation and price seems to be one of the least important factors.

try not to worry about it. i posted deals that i thought where fantastic.. and went colder than an iceberg.. ive also posted deals that i very nearly didnt bother putting up as i expected next to noone to be interested but theyve gone scorching hot lol. no real logic to it at all..

the way i see it if one person has seen it and saved some money then your job is done. how much heat it gets doesnt matter. and sometimes a very cold deal gains notoriety and people will look at it to see why its so cold. so you still get eyeballs on the deal.


looking at your recent deals they might not be scorching hot but theyre all in postive heat so be happy with that.

Ignore the temperature, if you think it's a good deal then post it - if someone else thinks it's a good deal then they will go for it.
It's irrelevant what temperature it gets to, this site is about posting deals, but everyone seems to be obsessed with getting their deal hot.
You don't get anything out of it being hot or cold so why does it bother you so much?

I rarely post deals due to rarely seeing them lol, I will occasionally post Xbox Reward points challenges and I'll be honest its nice getting an upvote, who doesn't like to be liked? However you cannot let that take over how you think! This "Like" Culture is toxic you see it everywhere now, people posting on social media a certain thing just to get likes or upvotes and feeling down when not getting them is crazy, it literally is an episode of Black Mirror.

Just be bothered about those around you who care enough about you to not have to give you a "Like" and dont worry about random strangers liking or not aslong as you know you are being helpful DONT CHASE LIKES

Had a look at the threads in the OP screenshot and don't see anything that terrible as far as member comments (though maybe the worst have been deleted).

Opinions are fine, as long as they don't get personal. And one or two members are actually quite encouraging.

I would say maybe you're new here (not trying to be condescending), but your profile is from 2011 (was just curious and had a look), on most forums there can be "forum etiquette" and the spam thing is definitely something HUKDers don't like. Been there, done that!

The first post on this thread is repeated verbatim on one of your Deals, and it can be annoying when members leave "laughter" emojis, but I'm guessing they just see it as a member having a strop.

Edited to add: As voting is anonymous and HUKD is so big people voting you down because they dont like "you" will be quite rare...I think there's an algorithm for targeted voting.

It is a "thing", though, even though I doubt it happens often. Can't even remember the member's name but a few years ago I had someone being troll-y out of the blue - they then "followed" me around - every Deal post I made they would comment something negative on it. Had to report them eventually! (edited)

People are also grumpy at night? I think people also don't like to see single posters clogging the site on a single topic. It's easy to do with things like Steam/Xbox sales.

It's good to share frustrations on posting/voting as other people also experience them.

Jim beam probably went cold because it's that price all the time in discount stores.

Baileys isn't a bad price for 1ltr but maybe cold because of the odd flavor. Some folks just vote cold if they don't like the product I don't know why but they just do.

Just don't take it personally.

I don't understand why the OP is getting upset and complaining. I thought for a moment that most of their deals were cold and had a bit of sympathy but just had a look at the last dozen or so and not one has a minus rating. And probably at least half are hot as in over 100°.

Not voted myself, but probably a mix of people thinking:
- alchohol is bad therefore a bad deal
- this is spam posting > it should have been one post

First world problem.... smh
