OzBargain Reviews

Circlejerk hypocritical toxic consumerist far right community. Even the "Voting guidelines" state that: Use a positive vote when: "you feel the deal is good" Don't use a negative vote when: "I don't think it's a good deal"

Been a member for a few years now, tried to sell gift cards that I didn’t want, but post got taken down because the mods there are petty and don’t want me selling my gift cards. site has 100% gone down, mod team seems unreasonable, wouldn’t recommend this site as it’s gone downhill

OzBargain has gone completely downhill in my view. The current mods are the worst I've seen in 20+ years of forum usage. It appears to me that the founder has checked out and doesn't care. This inept and incompetent group of mods are running riot, getting the power from forums that they likely can't get in real life.

Terribly operated and administered site. Consistent bullying, the admins either don't address it when reported, or take sides. Very toxic, lonely old men run this forum.

The site is absolutely atrocious now in my view. With Scotty starting to take a backwards step, there are clearly noticeable changes, with people I see as inept growing in influence. People are put in the penalty box for abstract reasons, negative votes are allowed based on politics (instead of whether it's a deal) and the mods are on a power trip. To any investor, I would suggest you get in now before the rot gets worse. To Scotty, I believe your site is only going to get worse with your current people in place so I would look for an alternative succession plan. Just because people help out over several years, it doesn't mean they're the best leaders to take you forward.

The most disgusting platform in Australia. Full of scammers and toxic people. The admin is the main culprit. I am notifying federal police for investigating for his falsified behavior through OZbargain.com.au ! Be alert ! Never share your email. They will send spamming email which may damage your computer system.

Terrible site moderators wanting to be keyboard warriors more then finding the best deal or helping people list deals

This is pure rubbish if you ask a question and not in line with their advertisers you get banned, don't ask any questions.....wow

After messaging sellers/buyers from classfield section I suddenly received a ban from private messaging without warning because "alot of new accounts are registering and scamming lately with gift cards".. yep that was there sole reason for my ban.

Great place for bargains, however the forums are full of rude childish bullies. I'm on the fence on this place. I think they should moderate comments better, and stick to the bargains.

Great community, saved me thousands, encouraged me to save hundreds!

Claim to be for the community but they are not. Mods and admins are happy to work for big companies but they dont help smaller companies.

Easy to place find real bargains, just stay away from the politics of it all haha

This company has been found to be manipulative and run by a bush of moderators that truely have no life. RIP OzBargain. Look after your vendors and they will look after you. You think you're doing good for a community but it's more like a dictatorship.

Potential for a great site ruined by power tripping mods who will ban you for no reason or if you disagree with them on random topics. Sucks. But you get a circus when you put clowns in charge.

if you want to see the worst in the Australian people, just go to ozbargain.com.au and read the comments or post a deal and wait for the feedback. Toxic community and the moderators don't bother. Some funny unfair rules that serve specific businesses.

The Site is full of negativity, too much dictatorship from moderators. Seeing too often my comments would get censored by negative votes (when my comments are actually very useful to general public). Hence showing how illiterate the community is on this website, its full of garbage people and moderators. You can even get bullied and so much harassed on this website, and mods, and admins wont do a single thing about it You are basically going to be banned if you think you can say whatever you want on this site. Moderators and admins dont give a dam about you, they only give a dam on human traffic that this site gets, Hopefully this site will go down in future. If they think something bad posted is okay then its okay (as long as it's not an average person posting that like you and me). You complaining mods about a post not being appropriate will do absolutely nothing. But you getting a complain will trigger you a message from MOD saying we have been getting a lot of inappropriate activities blah blah blah from you., If This continues you will be banned. Also be very careful on posting anything on this website as they will not take ANYTHING DOWN on your request. Also from my personal advice do not talk on Ozbargain private messages (THEY WILL STORE ALL THE DATA ABOUT YOU, and my guess is sell it to other companies). YOUR DATA IS NEVER PRIVATE ON THIS WEBSITE Also generally speaking Ozbargain isn't even that full on bargains its mostly full of CRAP for a long time, with occasional good deals.

Even if you follow the guidelines if a select few don't like what you post they get the mods to remove going against their own rules with nonfactual comments but you still get banned and their comments are allowed to remain, when confronted on why its banned they will eventually get back to you and say they have implemented a new rule just to ensure your post can't stay absolute waste of time unless your in bed with the moderators absolutely not community run as they choose what you see and it has to be what they want to see.

I can see a lot of offers from them, but most of the promotions are not relevant to me to be honest. However, I do recommend using the referral codes they offer and I often get a bit of sign up bonus.
