Admin/mods abuse their power and ban/penalty box for pathetic reasons. Clear humor and jesting, sarcasm, without foul language. Ban. It's behave like this perpetuates a lack of resilience and why terms like snowflakes gather momentum.
Very rare to see a bargain on this site, seems to be easily spammed by retailers.
The community is quite rude, mainly made up millenials by the feel of the site. Deals are negged and rude comments made. Used to be good but not anymore, normal people are no longer posting great deals and freebies for fear of being abused...
Corruption and exploitation at its finest. The community will knowingly abuse a bug without a second guess - they have no regard for the damage it can do to business. I used to be a contributor. Now, the vast majority are keyboard warriors with no respect for anyone. Do not list your business here. If you find your business listed here, pull the offer. They are nothing but competition/offer pigs.
Anyone can write a CrowdTrust review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they'll be displayed as long as an account is active.
Browse the pizza coupon page if you must but stay away from the forums. The corrupt propagandist mods mass ban accounts of everyone in a household for criticising the LNP or conservatism in any way and call it spam. Meanwhile the same is NOT done for any criticism of the left or good political parties. Absolutely pathetic, we don't get to see what else they do to spread their poison, unless you have something specific to search for quickly just avoid.
A site that reflects modern Australia - dishonest, racist, full of political censorship, and a business profiting from ordinary people sharing their experiences. Bullying people it doesn't like is routine on this site, and it allows and encourages far right propaganda and violence. Its published guidelines on trolling for example are only employed to ban people using the word, and self confessed trolls are allowed to do whatever they like on this cess pit of a site. That's why its full of trolls, bullies, racists and fascists because they are encouraged to post. Its a business being paid to put forward far right thinking into the Australian community, and its reflects our current pathetic clime.
Lots of low life bullies and trolls who make condescending statements. For instance, if you make a genuine enquiry, a troll will respond with something like "I don't care about___", or "your question has no relevance to anyone". When you tell them that they don't need to respond if they aren't interested, guess what happens? The moderators warn you or unpublish your comment, but allow the condescending trolls comments to stay up.
Full of bullies, trolls, and stupid people who try to put u down. Funny part is most of them don't even make any sense, and will try to make fun of u and personally attack you instead of ask or clearing their doubts about your posted deal.
