Improved Deal Duplicate Detection

4 dupes spotted and reported in the last 20 minutes . The usual "Deal Hunter" culprits .

Good as its the same deal just a different colour or something

I have seen quite a few vouchers listed recently but they expired months ago, when I submit a voucher you won't except them but except out of date ones

This only works for the same colour,different colour from the same link still can be posted as separate deals as I checked.

Different size of the same colour also can be posted as separate deal as long as the price is slightly different.

Just my thoughts but

Whoops, it looks like this has already been shared?

What would stop someone who is evidently reposting same or similar products from just clicking on it's a new deal and posting it anyway?

It's great that you are finally trying to improve the issue but some reported this on How would you make Latestdeals better over a year ago.

If we are talking about duplicates then please do allow price drops of more than 5%. There is no point to repost same deals multiple times if price dropped by more than 5% within a day or a week. I would remove price drop limit completely on new deals.

Thanks Kelsey plz do same with non Amazon deals too one thing I don’t understand no one ever mention in duplicate deals if everyone do these things then deal hunters will check twice before posting otherwise they keep doing another thing plz just think then decide when your remove duplicate deals plz remove those likes everyone gave to that deal then they definitely stop posting duplicate I noticed especially Friday evening because less staff due to weekend no one check many thanks for all help

Anything that makes the app better gets a from me. Let’s see how this improvement works out

To those who follow the site rather than just use it as an Amazon voucher earning site (sadly the majority of members ) the Amazon "feed" to LD Hunters has been obvious for years .

Obvious to all - leading to 2 or 3 LD Hunters posting what is on their " feed " at more or less the same time leading to many duplicates which Latest Deals were unwilling to address . Perhaps not allowed to by Amazon ?

I understand that the majority of members don't complain or point out the obvious , they rely on an Amazon voucher a month or so and don't want to rock the boat .

Recently (last 3 or 4 months ) it is obvious what is happening . Amazon not allowing Latest Deals to show price history , which was a great help to members .

Amazon don't need to convert me , I'm a Prime member and buy all sorts of stuff off them (strangely not off a Latest Deals "non deal" ) .

The reason all these duplicates occur is because Latest Deals have sold their soul to Amazon . Tom tell me if I'm wrong . Instead of sending feeds to LD Hunters we now have " LDHunter Pancakealien (ie Amazon) directly posting multiple sizes , colours , scents etc of the same item (obviously in breach of Latest Deals rules ).

Most members are grateful to post "non deals" and garner Amazon vouchers for little effort and that is fine ish . But shouldn't Latest Deals actually do what it says on the tin ?

I realise that Latest Deals has to make money , but perhaps it should consider taking on board the suggestions I have made in the last month or so ? I would love Latest Deals to become the "go to" deals site -not going to happen while it is tied to Amazon "Tat Clearance " .

Hope it can work better for comps too as pipped to the post can be really annoying. It should be easier than variations of deals.
