Cold Deal Voting
Don't be bad on this question, its just a simple question.
Can i ask why bots are allowed on this site? voting bots for shobby items are giving heat but honest deals get cold? This has been on for some time and i need to ask as this really don't seem right.
I ask as well as one item i had 2 of and many reported the same problem of one product but the seller of this item posted it and got over 200 heat yet its a broken item they sell.

This should really apply to any deal really. No poster of a deal should be allowed to vote up or down for at least 30 minutes.
Just an observation because a lot of people are unhappy about the current state of play and too be honest I agree.
It is a grab fest. It is users wanting to down vote to make their deals stand out so voting others down. Let me know if you can solve it.
Compensate for this by raising the threshold for Hot, maybe to 150. Plus reduce the amount of heat anyone can give - right now, just 15 super users can push a deal past 100 which is hardly a broad community endorsement.
