So I'm a new member.

My first post was about Lenovo 40%-50% off, which is a decent deal IMO. (http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/954379) Granted there were some issues with the deal, i.e. you must copy and paste the link as Lenovo apparently filters redirects from fatwallet, and I also misspoke when I said that deal was for everything Lenovo when it only applied to Thinkpads and accessories.

Now, the deal is still great, in fact for some laptops, i.e. X301 it's the best currently available, but for some reason my post right away got two negative dings from senior members. What gives? I'm new here, so perhaps I don't feel the group dynamic here yet, but if this board is one of those with everyone highly stuck up, then my tenure here as a contributor may be quite brief.

I just want to understand what exactly I said wrong that people thought it was worth marking as negative.

Well, if this is the reason, then it's even worse than I thought... My deal clearly says that you need to COPY AND PASTE for the link to work, as it doesn't work by simply clicking on it. The same was explained again and noted by multiple members as well.

Should I take from this that any deal that requires an ability to read and some, albeit miniscule, effort on the part of the reader will be flagged as bad? This is just sad...
