ooooooh noooooo we now have red/green police???
Yes, I agree with you, the way the post stands it certainly doesn't deserve green since it's not working - FOR NOW. It is a WalMart freebie and on their free stuff page so I'm sure it will work eventually.
The red/green system which is supposed to be based on a deal is very useful in some of the forums around here, like hot deals or finance or deal discussions but in free stuff I believe it's a joke.
I personally never red in the free stuff forum unless its spam - thats MY preference. Some people red/green based on the poster, others do it based on their beliefs....i.e non religious people giving red to all religious posts or non smokers giving red to all smoking item posts
You gave the post red for the deal not working - kudos for using the system the right way but you gave hunnydear red for a choice - isn't that contrary to how the system is supposed to work?

Based on the op? That is getting awfully silly and personal...I thought it was green for offers one felt a great deal AND a valid offer. Red for spam and careless reposts. Yellow or no vote for things one isn't interested in. hmmm.

I didn't say it was right - It SHOULD be based on the deal itself and the merits of the deal but come on look around most people use it to express their opinions, which is why I said its a joke. The only red a freebie post should get is if it's spam, repost, its not free or like this one is not working. But people on here use it at will like it's a weapon againt things they don't like.
I don't care that the post was given red and I understand pointing out to someone that they may not be doing something right but to red someones personal choice or action? He/she then turned around and gave red the person who gave him/her red in retaliation - how does that make any sense???? Is that the way the system is supposed to work?
GREEN for you Dee!!, don't let the morons get to you(morons know who you are).
Dee, you have contributed so much to this forum and the ones that complain are obviously looking for someone to post a freebie AND actually fill the form in for them as well..
keep it up, you have more supporters than you know.....

You see it on several post done this way.What I dont get is people rate red even if they arent interested in it instead of just passing on it. They dont like it so they just go in and rate it as red.I agree its helpful in stuff like hotdeals and so on . I really dont think it should be in freestuff when you have a not interested button.If you dont like it dont go in! On the repost issue I think they should be merged together if someone does repost. That way there isnt a bunch of locked topics.I have seen alot of red for peoples opinion and I would think that button be rated if someone posted something related to the Op topic that was helpful not as retaliation.
I give green when I like the post and know it will arrive like WalMart, Sams Club..you just know....other times I give green when the item arrives and I post it arrived, then we know it's an active freebie who delivers.
It's not Dee's fault WalMart fell asleep....but Dee didn't you call WalMart and tell them the link isn't working since you posted it? (she knows I'm teasing, but sounds ridiculous doesn't it?)
