How is this calculated?
Looking only at deal posts (not other post types) a score is calculated based on the popularity of deals.
Aww thank you for taking time and posting this topic just seen didn’t receive any notification again thanks for choosing us all
Where are the points again? Do all deals posted in a week count. For instance if someone posts 50 deals in a week will all the points count.
Is the popularity of the deal people actually clicking through to the retailer to look at the product or just up voting the deal on the latestdeal site? When I rate 25 deals on the site I typically vote up maybe 6 deals and vote down 19 as poor value or not a deal. I wonder what other people's ratios are. I've had it once where I only voted up on one deal and 24 down because they were fake deals or poor deals. Other times I've voted more up than down.
BonzoBanana I don't bother rating "deals" as the site refuses to take into account any -ve votes , so every single deal ends up with a healthy +ve rating however poor it is . I regularly scroll through the site and I would be hard pressed to find 1 "real deal" a week in my areas of interest .
So in answer to your question I would be hard pressed to find 1 good deal out of 25 , far more likely to find 25 "non deals" or duplicates out of 25 . Sad but true .
BonzoBanana i’ve always wondered what you’re supposed to be doing in the rate part. I typically downvote most of them because i don’t want them in my liked posts section.
