There are alot of pointless threads there, yes, but maybe you arent looking for that particular item, five people are. If you have a complaint, pm a mod/admin and they will fix the issue if its wrong. The Shooter hard to find thread isnt needed, IT has NO substance other than for the OP as its not a hot deal. The Administrator created a share your hot deals thread here but no one uses it.

The only real way to fix this is to start offering infractions/warnings if people dont follow the rules. Do that enough times and I guarantee it will stop, but it also creates a negative atmosphere here as a result.
and rule #2 is never followed

Here are the Rules:
Quote:
Hot Deals Forum Rules

1. Webmasters are not allowed to advertise their own sites. *
2. One post per week.
3. You are not allowed to post advertising.
4. You are not allowed to have advertising or advertising links in your signature.
5. You are not allowed to have a username that's the same as a site, or similar indirect advertising.
6. You are not allowed to post scans of manufacturer's coupons, however, posting an alert that a certain store has coupons available is allowed.

* The idea for this forum is for users to share hot deals that they've found, not for webmasters to advertise their offerings. If a deal is good enough other users should be compelled to post about it here anyway.

The forum rules have been added to avoid turning the Hot Deals forum into a huge ads/spam area.
Alot of people forget that the purpose of this area is for everyone to be able to get the deal. If Amazon has a B2G1,available to everyone,thats a HOT DEAL, not member X getting Planet Earth for $x.x or member X getting another title because he got 15 different refunds and they took it off the total price.

Now if all of us thought about that before posting, it wont be a problem
