@MrsGuin @CouponClippen @FrugalFreak just because you ‘find them’ doesn’t mean someone else didn’t pay for them. the program is designed that you EARN the points for BUYING Coke products. Free additional promo codes are not the norm, and finding codes or being gifted codes by someone not using their’s doesn’t mean the were free to obtain to start with as FF points out.

Bottom line is, I pay for my codes as do many others @CouponClippen too I suppose, and redemptions for free gift cards go in HD, not solely in a master Free thread. There’s nothing wrong mentioning them in there, but many miss out on knowing about it if you bury it in a master thread. Sorry.

I still say leave them in master thread unless it is a really valuable reward like $10 gift card. They are easy to spot there instead of searching Hot deals.

BTW although I posted, Consider the faqs like a wiki for all moderators. @MISTERCHEAP That was my intention when posted that they would slowly be added to.

I added info, no need to ask to add next time.

close to the $10 deal it was. So tempted. @Krazy9Katz

@frugalfreak said in Men’s Wrangler Cargo Shorts $6.40 shipped (most sizes, KHAKI COLOR ONLY) KOHLS CHARGE REQ’D:

most regular sizes, Not Denim

@FrugalFreak where was denim even mentioned? and it says Khaki color only, so why would denim even come up? SMH.

and unless it says BIG AND TALL, sizes are always in the normal range.

I said Not denim or sizes cause I checked, Wrangler started out making denim so to MOST people Wrangler-=Denim. It’s just additional info after I checked what you posted, not saying anything you posted is wrong. Additional on-topic comments or info by members or consumers is a good thing.

PS There is a “khaki colored” denim

SKIP GROUPON, GO TO SUNDANCE NOW AND USE CODE “GROUPON60” AT
SUNDANCE

The closed captioning access is VERY limited, This makes it worth the free trial only. $0, The sundance catalog itself is very limited, most of the movies and doc stuff seems to be foreign languages heavy.

Not my cup of tea, I’ll browse and try to find something to watch that has captions, but most of the American hollywood movies that they have that are recognizable to me, had no captions and in old SD.

Thanks for posting, but that deal has already been covered here; https://phatwalletforums.com/topic/5454/possible-free-sam-s-club-goodies-boxin-store-at-1pm-on-2-24

This is a fake freebie,
No legitimate brand will put a sample form on it’s front index home page, that tells me it was set up for the sample form only. after research I see It’s a knock-off of a real product

@couponclippen said in How to earn reputation?:

@c3 then admins need to do some housecleaning.

Ok I removed spammers, if any of you suspect spammers, please let us know, It’s a fine line and often members are the best help to detect!

Thank you, Rock On.

@couponclippen said in Rain-X Try Me Free Rebate Offer - Walmart - 3 Products:

@yoreganoGo **** yourself ********. You were a complete *** to me on fatwallet. I will not take the **** in here!

Mod: Let’s keep it civil members. There is no need for that conduct in the forums and this is considered a family friendly website. The profanities are removed.

@MrsGuin please add a link

Mod Note: the value of the ebook is $5, not $10 which would enable it to go in ‘hot deals’ so I moved it to free stuff where it belongs.

@dangeruss said in SHELL FUEL REWARDS:

Shell fuel rewards is such a scam. Was going to use my $0.28/gal rewards last week, realized gas was $3 at most of the local shells, while it was $2.71 @ BP. So looks like when t-mobile gives out the shell reward, they just raise their prices accordingly.

yeah it only benefits elites who are too good to use anything but shell already.

@kenblakely said in SHELL FUEL REWARDS:

@frugalfreak Um…No. If you have access to FRN and grocery store gas points - and you’re STILL paying for gas - then you get what you deserve.

well in my area Shell is a good 10 cents higher so by time you use points, paying same price as normal, and they are out of the way, you’ll burn more getting to them.

@vbmcgb said in mod harassment:

If you want my unsolicited opinion, one thing that might help with this kind of situation is implementing a mod-review system. If a member doesn’t agree with the mod’s decision, then the member can ask for another mod to review the situation. The second mod might uphold the previous mod’s decision, or overturn it. This can help prevent ideological or personality conflicts from skewing moderation. If the decision is upheld, then the member knows that it isn’t personal. If the decision is overturned, then the mod may need to rethink how they are making decisions. Sometimes we humans simply can’t see how we might not be as right as we think we are, and that outside perspective can help ground us a bit better.

awesome, a professional system, sounds great.

My suggestion was to have all moderators vote yes or no in a poll, to ensure fairness.

@VBMcGB are you sure you don’t want to join us? We really need your advice to learn. I would literally beg the admin if you wanted to join us.

@my4mainecoons said in mod harassment:

@frugalfreak poking my nose in… I’ve been on several private boards that spun off from SD. In each case personality clashes came up and people got banned. It seemed so arbitrary to me (not a mod) as to who got banned and I was sad to see a banning here so early on. It really ruined those boards and some of them folded as a result. Hope you “powers that be” can come up with an equitable system of arbitration.

Hi @my4mainecoons, all but one were banned for self promotion spamming.

@krazy9katz said in mod harassment:

@frugalfreak there’s more than one banned? i know the first one banned and this one was temp ban

you are correct, forgot about the 24 hour temp ban. one permanent ban and one 24 hour one. The rest were spammers
