It May Be In Moderation
If your post (including Chat threads) seems to have been removed, deleted, or disappeared, it is most likely because it was put into moderation (read - What does 'Moderation' mean?)
It May Be Being Reviewed
Many posts - especially if it is one of your first - are reviewed before being published on the site. This may take time and can explain why your post is not showing yet. If you are a company you need to work with us to get your deal published: Go to Contact Us > Work With Us
Read Your Notifications for Explanation
Read your notifications to learn why it was put into moderation. There should be an explanation of why your post was removed. If there's not, read our guidelines below.
Read Our Guidelines
- A post can be put into Moderation for a variety of reasons. Usually, it is because the post did not meet our Guidelines.
- Was it a Chat post? We have separate Guidelines here.
Are You a Company?
If you are a company you cannot post deals on our website. You must work with us. Please go to Contact Us > "Work with us"
The retailer has asked us to remove the post from the website
Sometimes a brand requests us to take down a post. Unfortunately, we have little choice but to comply. There are many reasons why they may ask this. When it happens you should receive a notification. You will not lose any points for this and we are very sorry.
It may be a technical issue
Sometimes things break and go wrong. We are very sorry when this happens. If the website or app is down or broken, please contact us and select "report a technical problem".
Still Unsure? Contact Us
If you've read our Guidelines (or Chat Guidelines) and are still unsure why your post was removed, please use our contact form to send us a message.
Please give as much information as possible, including the post URL if you have it, a description of what it was, title, retailer etc.
Sometimes, our system does make mistakes - for example, automatically putting something into moderation for the wrong reason. So please do get in touch if you feel this may be the case.

Two or maybe three of the competitions that I've submitted today haven't gone through. I think it's most likely to do with the picture upload.
I have just put out a deal for an Audrey Hepburn Box set if you wouldn't mind looking into it please. I'm guessing it's to do with the image used which is why it didn't go through.
Thanks.
Can you put one of the 'Nightmare On Elm Street 1-7 Blu-ray' threads live please. I tried to submit it twice, I'm wondering if it was the blood splatter that stopped it going through?
Perhaps you could change the title of this to "Why has my deal been deleted/disappeared" that way, people could post here instead of creating new threads each time it happens.
Maybe one or two of the more important threads could be pinned to the top as well at some point?
Call of duty Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition has just disappeared.
A competition from Zoom that I tried to submit has also gone on the missing list.
Thanks.
Done - thanks! FashionGirl there were loads of yours in the moderation queue, sorry! I think it's because you put 3 x's at the end of your deals? Sorry to be a pain, try doing 2 xx's instead?
Tom oh thanks! I didn't even notice. Haha yeh I was putting xxx - didn't even consider how that might be interpreted as naughty lol!
The Game of Thrones DVD post I just submitted has gone into moderation.
Thanks.
Never mind. Either one of you brought it back faster than Usain Bolt can run the 100m dash or it didn't go into moderation.
Please fix this: https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/deals/kick-ass-2-xbox-360-amazon
Wait, it was 'removed' because of the word a-s-s? Oh come on.
Fixed! Sorry about that - we're still using a list of swearwords someone from Google created to filter against - they were clearly a little sensitive!
That's a pain in the bum. You've added a picture, written up a description and then the system doesn't let it through. It comes up with "No naughty URL's please"
When one of you does see this, can you approve the competition from HeyUGuys please.
"post validation failed" pops up when I try to change the picture for this competition https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/competitions/absolutely-fabulous-the-movie-on-dvd-heyuguys
This has gone into moderation https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/competitions/win-nine-lives-on-blu-ray-flickeringmyth
There seems to be an issue with this: https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/deals/darksiders-warmastered-edition-ps4xowiiu-base
I checked before posting and there wasn't a deal of it posted.
Can you bring back one of the American Horror Story deals that I submitted please, preferably the newest one. I think it has gone into moderation because of the snake and where it is. I was actually going to fill it in but I forgot.
One of you brought it back. https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/deals/nightmare-on-elm-street-1-7-blu-ray-cheapest-price-zavvi
Test: Hell
Could the word h-e-l-l be removed from the 'meanie' words list? Never know when a product with the word h-e-l-l pops up and would be worth posting.
Speaking of meanie, I love the Green Meanie costume from Screem Queens Season 2. :p

Could one of you have a look and see if an Ax Paris voucher is waiting to be approved please. I can't remember if it did go into moderation or I changed the page to quickly before it fully went through.
Something went wrong with my new deal - https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/deals/shin-megami-tensei-iv-apocalypse-nintendo-3ds-amazon
My deal just disappeared for Infinite Warfare for PS4 and Xbox One at £18.85 ?
EDIT: Doesn't matter. It is now showing
Deal has disappeared: https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/deals/shin-megami-tensei-iv-apocalypse-nintendo-3ds-amazon
This one isn't working for some reason: https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/deals/project-x-zone-2-nintendo-3ds-gameseek
Tom Yep. I saw that issue and when I went to edit, the deal just disappeared.
Thanks.
Edit: When I click edit it says this: Sorry, we couldn't find this page.
